When freeze-thaw damage has gone past what repointing can fix, we rebuild the chimney above the roofline with matched brick and proper flashing — built right the first time.
Determining exactly how much of the chimney needs to come down and be rebuilt.
Removing damaged masonry without disturbing the sound structure below.
Sourced or blended to match your home's existing masonry as closely as possible.
Step and counter flashing installed correctly during the rebuild, not left to chance.
Poured with correct slope and overhang as part of the rebuild, not an afterthought.
A breathable sealant applied to protect the fresh masonry from day one.
The chimney is structurally compromised, not just cosmetically damaged at the surface.
A sign the underlying structure has shifted and surface repairs can't hold.
Spalling that's progressed beyond what individual brick replacement can address.
The most serious finding an inspection can surface, usually pointing toward a rebuild.
Deferred maintenance compounds over time until repair alone is no longer enough.
A partial rebuild and a full reconstruction are both "chimney rebuild," at very different price points.
No service call fee, no obligation. Written quote before any work begins.
A partial rebuild of the top few feet costs far less than a full reconstruction.
Taller chimneys and steep rooflines require scaffolding, which adds to the job.
Salvaged or custom-matched materials cost more than a generic mix.
Multi-flue chimneys or unusual shapes add engineering considerations.
Tell us what you're seeing — leaning, crumbling, or a failed repair.
We assess the structure and give you a written quote.
Careful demolition, then matched brick and mortar rebuilt to spec.
We confirm it's sound and back it for three years in writing.
It depends heavily on scope — a partial rebuild of the top few feet is a very different job from a full reconstruction. We give a free on-site estimate with a written quote before any work begins.
Tuckpointing addresses mortar joints. A rebuild is needed when the structure itself has failed — visible leaning, widespread crumbling brick, or repointing that keeps failing in the same spot. An inspection can usually tell you which one you actually need.
We source or blend brick and mortar to match as closely as materials allow. Since most rebuilds only reconstruct the portion above the roofline, matching the visible section closely is usually achievable.
A partial rebuild often takes one to a few days. A full reconstruction can take longer depending on height, access, and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeline as part of the estimate.
Yes, and that's the most common scenario. Freeze-thaw damage typically concentrates above the roofline, so a partial rebuild of that section is usually sufficient rather than reconstructing the entire structure.
Yes. A proper rebuild includes a new crown with correct slope and overhang, along with correctly installed flashing, since rebuilding the masonry without addressing those components would leave the same failure points in place.
