How we repair chimneys
We look at the chimney from the roof, not just the yard: the crown, the flashing, the joint at the roofline, and the mortar on every face. Almost every chimney problem is water getting in somewhere, so we find where before we price the fix.
Failed joints get raked out and re-pointed with mortar matched to the brick. Cracked or spalled brick is replaced, the crown is repaired or recast so it sheds water, and the flashing is reset, with a cricket behind wide chimneys. Where the top has gone too far, we take it down to sound brick and rebuild it.
We do the masonry. Sweeping and flue inspections are a separate trade, and we'll tell you if you need one.
What does chimney repair cost?
Chimneys are priced after we've been on the roof. What moves the price:
- Re-pointing versus a partial or full rebuild
- Height of the chimney and pitch of the roof
- Crown repair or a new crown
- Flashing and whether a cricket is needed
- Number of flues
- Matching old brick and mortar
Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Chimney Repair: common questions
I have a stain on the ceiling near the chimney. Is that the chimney?
Often, and it's usually the flashing rather than the brick. Flashing seals the joint between the chimney and the roof, and when it lifts or rusts, water gets in right there. Fix it before you repaint, or the stain comes back.
What is a chimney crown?
The sloped cap across the top of the chimney that sheds water off the brick. When it cracks, water runs straight down into the chimney. A lot of the damage we see started at the crown.
How often does a chimney need re-pointing?
There's no set schedule. The chimney is the most exposed masonry on the house, so it usually needs work before the walls do. Look for recessed joints, flaking brick faces, or staining inside near the fireplace.
Do you sweep or inspect flues?
No. We do chimney masonry: re-pointing, crowns, flashing, and rebuilds. We'll tell you if you need a sweep.
