JB Mohler Masonry builds and restores fireplaces and chimneys for homeowners in Acton, MA, part of the territory we've covered for more than 30 years. Acton has a mix of historic village centers and newer neighborhoods that keeps our crew busy with everything from chimney repairs to new stone construction.

Acton's Minutemen were among the first to fight in the Revolution. Captain Isaac Davis, a gunsmith and blacksmith raised in West Acton, led his company to the Old North Bridge in Concord on April 19, 1775, and became the first American officer killed in the war. That same West Acton village, along with the trails and fields around NARA Park, gives the town a blend of old colonial homes and newer construction, and masonry needs follow suit — from chimney repairs and chimney and fireplace restoration on older homes to stone veneer siding on newer builds.

The process

How it works

1
We come take a look
We come out and look at the actual job on site — what you've got, what you're after — instead of guessing from the driveway.
2
You get a free written estimate
What we'd do, how, and what it costs, in writing. If there's a simpler way to get you there, we'll tell you.
3
We do the work — properly
Owner on site, jobsite left clean, and work built to last, not just to get through the season.

“Arrived on time for the quote and complete reconstruction of my two chimneys. Truly professional, accommodating, along with perfection beyond my belief. This company is one for keeps.”

Common questions

Questions homeowners in Acton ask us

Do you really cover Acton, or just the bigger towns nearby?
Acton's been part of our territory for decades — West Acton, South Acton, the village centers, and the newer neighborhoods off Route 2. It's a normal part of our schedule, and you'll get a straight answer and a clear estimate either way.
Should I get my chimney looked at before winter?
If you're not sure where it stands, yes. A quick inspection catches the small stuff — a cracked crown, worn flashing, spalling brick — before a freeze-thaw cycle turns it into a bigger repair. We'll tell you honestly if it can wait until spring.
What's the difference between a fireplace repair and full construction?
Repairs fix what's failing — crowns, liners, loose brick, a leaning stack. Construction is building new, or rebuilding from the firebox up. On the first visit we look at the actual masonry and tell you which one you're really looking at, instead of quoting the bigger job by default.
Can you build a fireplace or chimney to match an older Acton home?
That's a lot of what we do here. Acton has plenty of older colonial-era homes, and we match brick, stone, and mortar so new work reads as original rather than patched on. For newer builds we'll build to whatever look you're after.
Do you also do stone veneer while you're out here?
Yes — a lot of Acton jobs pair a fireplace or chimney with stone or thin-stone veneer. If you're thinking about both, mention it and we'll price them together on one visit.

Hi — chimney's seen better days. Acton. What are we looking at?
That's a failed crown — see the cracking at the top? Contained fix if we get it before winter. Rough range: a day of work, not a rebuild. Want us to come confirm? — Jeff
