Masonry & Chimney Repair Built for New England Winters
New England freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on brick and mortar. Small failed joints let water in, winter turns that water to ice, and a repair that would have been a repointing job becomes a rebuild. Coen Construction fixes masonry the right way — starting with the water.
We repair and rebuild chimneys, brick and stone walls, steps, and walkways across Greater Boston. Chimney work includes repointing, partial and full rebuilds above the roofline, new crowns and caps, flashing, and flue liner replacement — the details that keep water and combustion gases where they belong.
Mortar matters. Much of Greater Boston's housing stock is 80 to 120+ years old, and its brick was laid with softer lime-based mortar. Repointing old brick with hard modern mortar traps moisture and spalls the faces off the brick itself — so we match mortar to the masonry, not the other way around.
Every project starts with a diagnosis of why the masonry failed: a missing cap, a cracked crown, failed flashing, or ground water wicking up. We fix the cause along with the damage, so the repair lasts instead of repeating every few winters.
