Our Chimney Repair Services
Every chimney has its own set of problems. Some only need a small repair, while others require more extensive restoration. We inspect the chimney first and recommend the repair it actually needs. As a trusted Westchester construction company, we focus on providing reliable chimney repair solutions that restore safety, protect your home, and extend the life of your chimney.
- Masonry Repair: Brick and mortar naturally wear down after years of exposure to the weather. If parts of the masonry have started cracking, shifting, or breaking apart, we’ll repair the damaged areas and restore the chimney’s strength and stability.
- Replacement: A few damaged bricks can quickly lead to more extensive repairs if they’re left unaddressed. Instead of patching over the problem, we remove the affected bricks and replace them with new ones that match the existing chimney as closely as possible.
- Repointing (Tuckpointing): Mortar doesn’t stay strong forever. Once it starts crumbling or falling out, water finds an easy way in. Chimney repointing replaces those worn joints with fresh mortar and gives the chimney the support it needs.
- Crown Repair: The top of the chimney is exposed to the weather year-round. Rain, snow, heat, and freezing temperatures all leave their mark. If the crown has cracked or started wearing away, we’ll repair it before the damage reaches the masonry.
- Flashing Repair: The flashing around your chimney should create a tight seal against the roof. When it loosens or pulls away, leaks usually follow. We repair or replace the flashing so water stays outside.
- Leak Repair: Tracking down a chimney leak isn’t always straightforward. Water doesn’t always drip in where it enters. We take the time to find the actual source first, then repair the part that’s causing the problem.
- Waterproofing: Once repairs are finished, many homeowners choose to waterproof the chimney as an extra layer of protection. It helps reduce moisture penetration and protects the masonry from weather-related deterioration.
- Cap Repair & Replacement: A missing or damaged chimney cap leaves the flue exposed to rain, debris, birds, and even small animals. If the existing cap isn’t doing its job anymore, we’ll repair it or install a replacement that fits properly.
- Crown Sealing: Small surface cracks don’t always call for a full crown replacement. In many cases, sealing the crown early is enough to stop moisture.
- Rebuilding: Every once in a while, a chimney is simply beyond a standard repair. If that’s the case, we’ll explain why, walk you through the options, and rebuild only the sections that truly need it.
