Ask around Dennis Port about Christopher Spallina and the answer usually comes back chimneys. The clearest account of how he works is from a 2020 customer who called him out to waterproof a fireplace: he climbed a ladder, found the mortar around the top three feet of the chimney disintegrating, took photos and showed them before anything was quoted. The repair was scheduled, he arrived on time, finished on time, cleaned up the mess, and the new brick matched the old.
That pattern — look properly, explain, then do the whole repair instead of the patch — repeats. Another 2020 customer, with two chimneys leaking after 24 years, said he did not simply patch the old cement work but repaired it correctly and sealed both, working through extreme heat. A 2022 reviewer said he walked through every part of the job in advance, held to both his timeline and his estimate, and staged the work area to keep everything around it clean. In 2023 a customer described brickwork repairs, a brick step removed and the patio pressure washed on top of it; another that year said he had done several projects for them over the years.
The written accounts run from 2020 to early 2025 — 14 in all, uniformly positive: 5 stars from 8 Google ratings, and 4.9 from 8 on HomeAdvisor, where every rating is a five. Eight of those accounts date from 2020, so the most detailed ones are now several years old. The newest, from February 2025, is a chimney waterproofing for a new homeowner who called him quick to respond and professional.
Two things are worth clearing up before hiring. His Massachusetts construction supervisor license, CS-116609, is verified active in the state registry, but the registry shows the holder of record as Christopher M Mason — ask him to confirm the license is his and that it matches the name going on your contract. And his own site describes a Dennis-area chimney and fireplace service — maintenance, inspections, repairs, flashing, crowns, caps and fireplace restoration — while HomeAdvisor lists him under masonry with 34 years of experience, so be specific about which work you want.
For chimney rebuilds, crown and mortar repair, waterproofing, and brick step and stair work on the mid-Cape, the accounts are consistent about the same three things: he shows up when he says, explains the fix, and cleans up after.
