Chimney questions, answered

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing vs full rebuild?

If the brick itself is sound and only mortar joints are eroded, repointing is the right call. If brick is spalling, leaning, or significantly displaced, a partial or full rebuild is needed. We assess in person — no guessing.

Do you pull the permits?

Yes. We pull all required building permits, coordinate with the local building inspector, and provide certificates of completion.

How long does the chimney work last?

A proper rebuild with quality brick and mortar lasts 60–100+ years. Repointing extends life by 25+ years before the next service.
