WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
Chimneys done
with attention to detail.
Every project starts with understanding your home and the improvements you have in mind.
Pointing and mortar joints
Review areas where weathered mortar may need to be carefully repaired.
Chimney caps and crowns
Examine exterior top-of-chimney components and protection against precipitation.
Chimney flashing
Evaluate the transition between the chimney and roof when moisture is a concern.
THE SOLID APPROACH
Small details. Big exposure.
Chimney crowns, caps, mortar joints and the roof connection deserve a careful look because they experience rain, wind and temperature changes.

Why is my chimney leaking?
Water may enter through flashing, the crown, masonry or nearby roof areas; identifying the source comes first.
What is chimney repointing?
It is the replacement of damaged or deteriorated mortar in existing masonry joints.
Does this include fireplace inspections?
