Who we are
Chimney Goat is a family-owned chimney company based in Quincy, MA. We're not a national franchise routing your call to a distant office — when you call us, you reach the people who climb the ladder and lay the brick. That difference shows up in everything from how carefully we protect your roof to how honestly we talk to you about what your chimney actually needs.
We built this company on a simple idea: most homeowners have never been shown what's happening on top of their house, and they deserve a contractor who explains it plainly. We bring a camera, we take photos, and we walk you through what we find before any work begins.
Local focus: Quincy and the South Shore
The South Shore is our home, and that local knowledge matters more than people expect. Salt air off Quincy Bay and the Atlantic, hard freeze-thaw winters, and decades-old masonry create a specific pattern of chimney problems we see every week. We know how the coastal homes near Wollaston Beach and Squantum weather differently than the inland stock in Canton and Dedham, and how the brick row houses of Dorchester and South Boston need historic brick matched on repointing jobs.
Why homeowners trust us
Licensed & insured
Fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts, working to 780 CMR building code and NFPA 211 standards.
CSIA-certified
Our craftsmen carry Chimney Safety Institute of America certification — the credential to look for.
Family-owned & local
A small Quincy team that answers its own phone and stands behind every job personally.
Documented work
Before-and-after photos on every job, so you have a clear record for insurance or resale.
Our approach: inspection-first and honest
We work inspection-first. Before we ever quote a repair, we look — often with a camera scan of the flue — so the recommendation is based on what's actually there, not a guess. And we give honest recommendations: if your chimney needs a small crown repair rather than the full rebuild someone else quoted, we'll tell you. If something can safely wait a season, we'll say that too. We'd rather earn a customer for fifteen years than oversell one job.
Quality craftsmanship & premium masonry
Chimney work is masonry work, and masonry is a craft. We take the extra time on the details that make a repair last — matched brick, properly cured crowns, correctly sized liners, clean tuckpointed joints. Whether it's a straightforward chimney repair, a full rebuild, or a fireplace rebuild inside the home, the standard is the same: work we're proud to put the Chimney Goat name on.
Same-day & emergency support
When our schedule allows, we offer same-day service — because a leaking chimney in a March storm can't always wait a week. For genuine emergencies like active leaks, blocked flues, and chimney fires, we provide 24/7 emergency support. Call (617) 652-5282 any hour.
