Chimney Rebuilding
With severe masonry damage, including spalling or missing bricks, gaps in the mortar joints, and other structural issues, the best solution is to tear down the original structure and rebuild the chimney. The advantage of chimney rebuilding is that it allows you to be part of the customization process and have a brand new chimney that meets your unique lifestyle and enhances curb appeal.
Custom Fireplaces
A custom-built surround will enhance the appearance of any indoor or outdoor fireplace or insert. With a wide array of materials to choose from, like brick, stone, slate, marble, and more, there are endless design possibilities for creating a traditional, modern, rustic, industrial, or any other appearance you desire.
Chimney Tuckpointing
While brick and mortar are durable masonry materials, mortar is a softer compound making it more susceptible to moisture. It can cause the mortar to crack and crumble, making it appear as if it is being washed away, leaving gaps in the joints. With tuckpointing, the mortar joints are filled or tucked with new mortar material that is color-matched to blend with the rest of the chimney. It restores the chimney's strength and stability with a like-new appearance.
Chimney Crown Repair
With its location at the top of the chimney, it is often difficult for homeowners to know if they have a cracked or severely compromised crown. That's why annual chimney inspections are so necessary. An inspection allows us to spot cracks when they are minor and easily fixed before they manifest into more extensive repairs and rebuilding.
