Steves Brothers Chimney grew out of a straightforward frustration: Cambridge homeowners were being sold services they did not need, or worse, missing dangerous conditions that a thorough inspection would have caught. Founded by two brothers with deep roots in the Greater Boston trades, our company was built on the conviction that chimney safety is a public-health issue as much as a home-maintenance one. Carbon monoxide has no smell, no color, and no mercy — and most of the Cambridge families we serve had no idea their aging brick flues were quietly channeling it toward their living spaces. We started with a commitment to education first, and that commitment has never wavered.
Our technicians hold CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certification, carry Massachusetts contractor licensing, and maintain ongoing training as NFPA 211 standards evolve. We invest in professional-grade camera inspection systems, rotary cleaning equipment, and HEPA-filtered vacuums because the right tools produce the right outcomes — not because they look impressive in a truck. Cambridge's housing stock is genuinely unique: Georgian colonials in Old Cambridge, converted mills in Cambridgeport, dense triple-deckers near Central Square, and post-war multifamily buildings throughout North Cambridge each present distinct chimney configurations and failure patterns. We have seen them all, and that experience translates directly into faster, more accurate diagnoses for every customer we serve.
Steves Brothers Chimney is fully licensed and insured, and we back our work with a written craftsmanship warranty on all repairs. We offer free estimates with no obligation and no high-pressure close — if your chimney is safe and needs only routine maintenance, that is exactly what we will tell you. We are proud to serve Cambridge and the surrounding communities of Somerville, Medford, Watertown, Belmont, and beyond, and we treat every job — whether a $99 annual sweep or a full liner replacement — with the same level of care and documentation. Call us at (857) 265-7643 and experience the difference that a safety-first approach makes.
