Chimney Repair

What This Service Involves

Northwest rain finds every weakness in a chimney, from cracked crowns to failing flashing and eroded mortar joints. We diagnose the leak or damage and repair it at the source, repointing joints, sealing crowns, and replacing flashing as needed. Prompt repair protects both the chimney and the ceilings and walls below. Our masons match materials so the fix blends with the original.
