When You Need Chimney Repairs

How We Do It
Inspect the chimney stack, lead flashings, and pot from a safe vantage point. Rake out old, damaged mortar and clean the brickwork. Repoint joints with fresh mortar and replace worn lead flashing. Secure pots and cowls to prevent future water entry.
What to Expect
Most chimney repairs and repointing jobs are completed within 1 to 2 days.
