Repointed brick chimney with new crown, cap, and flashing

New Jersey

Chimneys repair, replacement & installation

Chimney work covers two separate risks: water getting in around the crown, cap, and flashing, and combustion gases not venting the way they should. We inspect for both before quoting.

Work ranges from tuckpointing and crown repair to liner installation, full rebuilds, and removal of chimneys that are no longer in use.

How our chimneys work is done

  1. 1Inspect the exterior masonry, crown, cap, flashing, and interior flue when accessible.
  2. 2Identify whether the problem is water intrusion, structural movement, or venting failure.
  3. 3Quote the specific repair — tuckpointing, crown rebuild, cap replacement, liner, or flashing.
  4. 4Perform the repair using matching mortar and code-compliant liners where required.
  5. 5Clean up and verify draft and water flow before finishing.

Common chimneys questions

What is the difference between tuckpointing and repointing?
Repointing is the process of removing damaged mortar and replacing it. Tuckpointing is a cosmetic technique that uses two mortar colors to create a crisp, thin-joint appearance. We use whichever is appropriate for the chimney condition.
How often should a chimney be inspected?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual inspection for chimneys in use. If you notice leaks, odors, or crumbling masonry, schedule an inspection sooner.
Do you install chimney liners?
Yes. We install stainless steel and aluminum liners sized to your appliance to improve draft and safety.
