Matt's Brothers Chimney was founded by two brothers who grew up in the Essex area and came to the trade the honest way — starting as helpers, earning certifications, and building a reputation one satisfied customer at a time. From the beginning, the goal was simple: provide the kind of chimney service that a neighbor would recommend without hesitation. That meant plain communication, fair pricing, and work you could actually trust. Today, the company serves homeowners across Essex and the wider North Shore with the same no-nonsense approach that built it.
What sets Matt's Brothers apart isn't a long list of amenities — it's attitude. We believe most homeowners, especially first-timers, just want someone to level with them. They don't want to feel sold to, and they don't want to discover a mystery charge on the final invoice. So we built our entire process around transparency: written estimates, photo documentation, plain-language reports, and a technician who takes the time to answer your questions before packing up the truck. Every member of our crew is trained to that standard, not just the owner.
Essex is a special place to work. The historic homes along John Wise Avenue, the old Capes and colonials tucked back from the salt marshes, the cottages that have been in families for generations — these are not generic properties, and they deserve care that reflects that. We take pride in understanding local construction styles, the way coastal weather affects masonry differently here than it does twenty miles inland, and what it takes to keep an older North Shore chimney functioning safely for another generation of homeowners. When you call Matt's Brothers, you're calling people who genuinely know this town.
