Brick and mortar
that holds up
From repointing a few courses to a full above-roofline rebuild. Masonry is where most chimney problems start, and where they get solved.
Partial repairs through full rebuilds
Stacks with corbelled tops and cracked crowns, spalling across entire brick faces, long horizontal cracking through multiple courses. We've priced and rebuilt all of it. On the larger end that means a full demo down to the roofline, then rebuilding the wall, ceiling, and flashing around it.
We measure before we quote: brick face size, course count, flue tile dimensions. The number you get reflects the actual scope.
What this prevents
- A leaning or separating stack eventually coming down.
- Water running down the inside of the chimney into ceilings and walls.
- Losing the whole stack when repointing a few years earlier would have held it.
Signs you need this
A leaning or visibly separating chimney, wide cracks running through multiple courses, a stack shedding brick faces, or a musty smell that traces back to the chimney.
Run the estimate worksheet →Partial versus full rebuild
Partial rebuild
Rebuilding the top few feet, the section most exposed to weather and most often damaged.
Full rebuild
Demo to the roofline and reconstruction, including closing up wall, ceiling, and flashing.
Tuckpointing
Repointing failing mortar joints across the full stack without a full rebuild.
