About our chimney repair
Water is the main enemy of a masonry chimney. It gets in through a cracked crown, a missing cap, loose flashing or worn mortar joints. In winter it freezes and expands, and every cycle widens the gaps. That is how small cracks become loose bricks and leaks into your ceiling.
We start with an inspection and photos, then give you a written estimate that explains each repair. Common jobs include crown repair and sealing, chimney cap installation, flashing repair, repointing mortar joints, damper replacement and flue liner work.
