Our chimney sweeping service goes far beyond a quick brush-and-vacuum. We use professional-grade rotary cleaning systems and HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture fine soot particles before they ever enter your home. Before we begin, every surface near your fireplace is protected with heavy drop cloths and we suit up in boot covers. We methodically clean the firebox, smoke shelf, damper assembly, flue liner, and cap — removing creosote deposits, blockages, bird nesting material, and accumulated debris. After cleaning, we inspect our work with a flashlight and mirror so you can see the results yourself. Medford homeowners consistently tell us our sweep feels more like a white-glove detail service than a trade call. We finish by reviewing our findings with you clearly and honestly.

Matts Brothers Chimney performs inspections aligned with CSIA Level I, II, and III standards, tailored to your situation. For routine annual checks we examine all accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior. For homes being sold, recently damaged, or connected to new appliances, we deploy our high-definition camera system to document every inch of the flue liner. You receive a written report with photos — not a verbal summary you'll half-remember. Our Medford clients appreciate that we explain every finding in plain language, separate genuine safety concerns from cosmetic issues, and never manufacture problems to pad a repair bill. Informed homeowners make better decisions, and that is exactly how we prefer to operate.

Matts Brothers Chimney installs flexible stainless steel liner systems, rigid liner sections, and cast-in-place liners engineered to match your appliance type and fuel source. Every liner we install is properly sized through draft calculations, not just rough estimates. We source premium UL-listed liner systems and back our installations with a written workmanship warranty. Medford's older housing stock — particularly homes built before 1980 — frequently has deteriorated terracotta flue tiles that look acceptable from the outside but are cracked or offset inside. Our camera inspections reveal the truth, and our liner solutions give you decades of reliable, code-compliant performance.
Request this service →Medford experiences genuine four-season weather punishment — hot, humid summers followed by repeated freeze-thaw cycles from November through March. That combination is brutal on chimney crowns, mortar joints, and brick faces. A cracked or improperly formed crown lets water channel directly down the flue and into the masonry, accelerating decay with every rain. Matts Brothers Chimney repairs crowns using polymer-modified concrete mixes designed for thermal movement, then applies a professional-grade vapor-permeable waterproofing sealant that allows the masonry to breathe while blocking liquid water infiltration. Unlike paint or generic sealants, our products carry a manufacturer warranty and are matched specifically to chimney masonry. We photograph every repair stage so you have a permanent record of the work and material specifications used.
Request this service →The firebox is your chimney system's front line — it absorbs direct flame, radiant heat cycling, and thermal expansion every time you light a fire. Over years, firebox mortar joints spall and crack, refractory panels fracture, and the firebrick itself can begin to separate. Using a cracked firebox is a genuine fire-safety risk, not a cosmetic inconvenience. Our craftsmen rebuild fireboxes using proper refractory mortar and high-duty firebrick rated for continuous high-temperature exposure. We match the geometry of your original firebox carefully — throat dimensions and smoke chamber angle matter enormously for draft performance. Medford homeowners who've had us rebuild their firebox consistently report better draw, less smoke spillage, and a fireplace that simply performs the way it was designed to. All work is photographed and backed by our written guarantee.
Request this service →A missing or failing chimney cap is an open invitation — for rain, squirrels, starlings, and cold drafts to enter your home freely. Matts Brothers Chimney supplies and installs stainless steel and copper chimney caps sized and welded to fit your specific flue opening, not generic off-the-shelf units jammed into place. For homeowners seeking maximum energy efficiency, we install top-sealing dampers that compress against a silicone gasket when closed, eliminating the air infiltration common with traditional throat dampers. In Medford's colder months, that seal translates to measurable heating savings. Every cap and damper we install is secured with appropriate fasteners for your chimney material, and we include our standard post-installation inspection to confirm fit, seal, and draft before we leave your property.
