Burning wood deposits creosote — a tar-like, combustible byproduct — on your flue walls with every fire. Over time, buildup reaches dangerous levels that can ignite a chimney fire reaching temperatures above 2,000°F. Ed's Brothers Chimney uses HEPA-filtered rotary brush systems and powerful negative-pressure vacuums to clear every layer of creosote, soot, and debris from your firebox, smoke chamber, and flue lining. Our sweeps work cleanly — drop cloths protect your hearth, and our sealed vacuum ensures no soot enters your living space. We price sweeping transparently by flue type and buildup level, so you know the cost before we start. Most Everett homes are quoted and completed in a single visit.

A Level 2 inspection — required when selling a home, after a chimney fire, or following any significant change of use — includes video camera scanning of the flue interior. Level 3 is reserved for serious structural concerns. Ed's Brothers performs all three levels for Everett homeowners and delivers a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we saw. We never recommend a higher inspection level than your situation warrants, and we'll explain plainly whether a repair is urgent, advisable, or simply something to monitor.
Request this service →A compromised chimney liner allows toxic gases including carbon monoxide to seep into living spaces and exposes masonry to corrosive flue gases that dramatically shorten its lifespan. Ed's Brothers installs flexible and rigid stainless-steel liner systems as well as cast-in-place liners for older clay-tile flues common in Everett triple-deckers and older colonials. We size every liner correctly to the appliance it serves — an oversized or undersized liner is a performance and safety problem. All liner work meets Massachusetts building code and manufacturer specifications. We'll give you a written quote comparing your options by cost and longevity so you can make an informed decision rather than simply accepting whatever is recommended at the door.
Request this service →The chimney crown — the concrete or mortar wash that covers the top of your chimney structure — and the chimney cap — the metal cover over your flue opening — are your first line of defense against Everett's wet, freeze-thaw winters. A cracked crown lets water infiltrate the masonry below, accelerating spalling and mortar deterioration with every frost cycle. A missing or damaged cap invites starlings, squirrels, and rainwater directly into your flue. Ed's Brothers inspects both components during every service visit and provides honest, itemized repair quotes. Crown repairs are sealed with elastomeric chimney sealant rated for decades of New England weather, and our caps are stainless steel or copper — not cheap galvanized metal that rusts within two seasons.
Request this service →Everett's climate is hard on exterior masonry. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles work water into hairline mortar cracks, expanding them season after season until bricks shift, spall, or fall. Tuckpointing — removing deteriorated mortar and packing in fresh, properly mixed mortar — is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend a chimney's life by decades when done at the right time. Ed's Brothers technicians are experienced in matching mortar composition and color to existing masonry, ensuring repairs are both structurally sound and visually clean. We also address spalled bricks, failed flashing joints, and leaning chimney stacks. We'll show you photos of problem areas and quote repairs in writing, so there's no debate about what was found or what was fixed.

Ed's Brothers cleans dryer exhaust vents using flexible auger brushes and high-velocity air tools, clearing lint from the entire duct length from appliance connection to exterior vent cap. We inspect the duct for crimps, disconnections, and improper materials that reduce airflow. The job typically takes under an hour and costs a fraction of what a dryer fire or a seized dryer motor will. We recommend combining dryer vent cleaning with your annual chimney sweep visit for maximum convenience and a bundled discount.
