A chimney takes more weather than any other part of the house. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, and opens them wider every winter. Caught early it is a repointing job. Left alone it becomes a rebuild.

Signs your chimney needs repair

Crumbling mortar

Mortar you can scrape out with a key, or gaps opening between the bricks.

Flaking or loose brick

Brick faces flaking off or lying on the roof, or white staining running down the stack.

Leaning or leaking

A lean you can see from the street, or water marks on the ceiling near the chimney.

COST AND QUESTIONS

What affects the price of chimney repair

The price depends on how high the chimney is, how easy it is to reach, and how much of it has to come down. You get a firm number in writing before we start.

​

Do I need a rebuild or just repointing?
If the bricks are solid and only the mortar is failing, repointing is enough. If bricks are cracked, loose or flaking, that section needs rebuilding. We will tell you which, and why.

​

Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Photos help if you have them. If it needs a closer look, we come out.

​

How soon can you start?
Usually within a week or two.

​

Are you insured?
Yes, with $2,000,000 in liability insurance. We can send proof on request.
