Chimney Repair & Restoration
The most weather-beaten masonry you own, rebuilt, capped and made watertight so it stops feeding damage into the rest of the wall.
This is work we self-perform, week in and week out. If it is on your notice, it is on our schedule.
How the work goes
- 1The deteriorated section rebuilt from a sound course where it needs it
- 2What is sound repointed rather than needlessly torn down
- 3Cap and crown built or replaced so the stack is finally weathertight
- 4Height corrected where the code calls for it
What owners worry about first
Chimneys are self-contained work. This is one of the few items that can often be finished in a couple of days without disrupting anyone in the building.
Did this come off a violation notice?
Then read the violation page instead. It covers what the inspector was looking at, what it costs you to wait, and what the department needs to see before the item closes.
Chimney repair, capping or height →Usually done at the same time
The joints get ground out and repointed to match, so the wall stops shedding mortar and the inspector stops writing it up.
Cracked and missing brick swapped for units that match yours, so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.
The wall above your roof line made solid again, so nothing is loose over the sidewalk and water stops entering the top of the building.
Rusting steel above your windows replaced before it lifts the brick any further. This one gets worse and more expensive every year you wait.
The masonry under your windows repaired and pitched properly, which is the cheapest way to stop water getting into the wall.
The details that make a Chicago greystone or two-flat worth what it is worth, stabilised and restored instead of stripped off.
