We Also Handle
The four above are our specialty, but the same free diagnosis covers the rest of the chimney too.
What Waiting Actually Costs
None of these four repairs get cheaper by putting them off. Here's how small problems turn into big ones.
A Hairline Crown Crack Becomes A Structural One
Every freeze-thaw cycle widens it a little more. What's a straightforward crown repair today is often a full re-pour, or worse, in two or three winters.
A Cracked Liner Doesn't Heal Itself
Combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, find the same gap every time you burn. It's not a problem that improves with time.
Mortar Damage Spreads To Its Neighbors
Once a joint fails, water gets behind the bricks around it too. A few feet of tuckpointing this year is a partial rebuild in a few years if it's ignored.
Draft Problems Get Blamed On The Wrong Thing
An unparged smoke chamber gets swept, inspected, and swept again without anyone addressing the actual gap causing the draft issue.
Nearly Every Expensive Job Was A Cheap One Once
The single biggest cost driver we see isn't the damage itself — it's how long it sat before someone looked at it.

Real Reviews From The Twin Cities
Every review below is a real customer. Hover a card to pause and read.
“Our 1920s brick chimney in Mac-Groveland was shedding mortar after a rough winter. MockingBird Chimney performed a detailed inspection and handled both the tuckpointing and crown repair in a single afternoon. Outstanding craftsmanship.”
“Had a rusted chase cover staining our siding. They measured on Monday and installed a custom stainless steel replacement by Thursday. Zero leaks through recent downpours.”
“Quick annual chimney sweep. Arrived right on time, laid down protective runners, and didn't leave a speck of soot on the hearth.”
“Solid tuckpointing work on our exterior brick stack. The top courses of brick were crumbling, but they restored them neatly and charged a very fair price.”
“Replaced our rusted chase cover fast. Clean, courteous, and reasonably priced.”
“Other contractors pushed for a complete rebuild, but MockingBird Chimney gave us an honest diagnosis. The brick was structurally sound; it just needed a sweep and a crown seal. They saved us thousands.”
“Zero mess, great chimney sweep, and very respectful crew.”
“The exterior brick stack was in rough shape with crumbling mortar joints. They ground out the old mortar, matched the tuckpointing to our vintage brick, and fitted an animal-proof cap on top.”
“Repaired our badly cracked concrete crown before freezing weather hit. Clear estimate, quick scheduling, and solid work.”
“Older brick homes need technicians who understand historic masonry. They rebuilt the damaged chimney crown and did flawless tuckpointing along the weathered north side.”
“Our old chase cover was pooling water and causing rust lines down the siding. The new sloped stainless steel cover drained perfectly during the last storm.”
“Great crown repair. Caught hairline fractures early and prevented moisture damage inside our walls.”
“Swept our wood stove flue and tuckpointed several loose mortar joints near the roofline. Punctual, polite, and left the hearth cleaner than they found it.”
