Tuckpointing is the process of removing old, deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with new mortar. It restores the structure and appearance of your chimney without needing a full rebuild.
If your chimney is leaning, collapsing, or beyond spot repairs, a rebuild is the safest option. We’ll assess the structural integrity and recommend whether partial or full reconstruction is needed.
Yes. A leaking chimney can lead to mold, ceiling stains, damaged drywall, and rot. We address the source—often poor flashing, damaged mortar, or crown cracks—to prevent future leaks.
Absolutely. We source matching bricks and mortar whenever possible to blend repairs seamlessly into your existing exterior.
Most repairs take 1–2 days, depending on the scope of the damage. Larger rebuilds may take a few days longer, but we’ll walk you through the full timeline up front.
