Your chimney takes more abuse than almost any other part of your home — rain, snow, wind, extreme heat, and freezing cold. Over time, bricks can crack, mortar can crumble, and the entire structure can become unstable or start leaking. Whether you need minor repairs or a full rebuild, we restore chimneys with safety, durability, and curb appeal in mind.
Crumbling mortar between chimney bricks is more than just an eyesore — it’s a sign that your chimney is starting to weaken. We carefully grind out deteriorated joints and repoint with fresh, high-quality mortar to keep moisture out and structure intact. Matching color and texture ensures the repair blends seamlessly into the original brickwork.
Whether from weather or age, damaged bricks can compromise the chimney’s strength. We remove loose or spalling bricks and replace them with carefully selected matches. This not only restores the chimney’s appearance but also reinforces its overall stability.
The chimney crown (top slab), cap (metal cover), and flashing (roofline seal) are essential for keeping water out. If any of these fail, leaks can reach your attic, walls, or interior ceilings. We repair or replace these components to ensure your chimney is sealed tight from top to bottom.
Sometimes, chimney damage goes beyond what repointing or brick replacement can fix. If the structure is leaning, separating from the house, or has widespread cracking, a rebuild may be the safest option. We assess the condition from the roofline to the foundation and determine whether a partial or full rebuild is necessary. Partial rebuilds are common for the top few feet where damage is most severe from weather exposure, while full rebuilds address deeper structural issues. In both cases, we rebuild with care — using durable materials and proven methods to ensure the chimney is safe, straight, and built to last.
A damaged chimney isn’t just a cosmetic issue — it’s a potential hazard. Water intrusion through failing mortar or flashing can quietly damage your roof, attic framing, and even your drywall. Cracked bricks and shifting masonry compromise the structural integrity of the chimney, especially during winter freeze-thaw cycles. And if left unchecked, the entire chimney could become unstable or dangerous.
That’s why proper chimney repair isn’t something to delay or DIY. It takes a trained eye to diagnose the cause of damage and skilled hands to fix it the right way. At Saint Brick & Stone, we take the time to repair or rebuild your chimney using the correct materials and techniques. No shortcuts. No surface-level patch jobs. Just solid, safe masonry you can rely on — season after season.
