With regular exposure to rain, wind, snow, and severe temperatures your chimney is one of the more vulnerable places on the exterior of your home.

It’s best to try and address any repairs to your chimney as soon as you have recognized a problem.
Chimneys should last 50 years or more if correctly maintained and properly equipped.

Tuck-pointing/Masonry Repairs
Tuck-pointing and masonry repairs are an essential form or preventive maintenance. Tuck-pointing is necessary when mortar joints begin to erode or crack and masonry repairs are needed when brick damage is becoming apparent. Keeping up with minor repairs you will save you money in the long run. Call or email now for any inquiries.
If you have an older house, the chimney may be too far gone to be repaired and thus may need to be re-built. This will be apparent if your chimney is leaning or showing signs of major brick deterioration and/or large voids between the bricks.
We do our best to find bricks that match your original ones – including antiques. We colour match the mortar and also finish the top of your chimney to replicate the period design.
