Masonry Repair and Repointing

Over time, weather, moisture, and age cause brick and mortar to weaken. Cracked or crumbling masonry can lead to leaks, structural instability, and dangerous chimney deterioration.

Our masonry services include:

  • Brick replacement
  • Mortar repointing
  • Crown repair
  • Crack sealing
  • Structural stabilization

We restore your chimney’s strength and appearance using high-quality materials designed to withstand New York’s weather.

Chimney Cap Installation and Replacement

A chimney cap is one of the simplest—and most important—ways to protect your chimney. Without a cap, your chimney is vulnerable to:

Rain and moisture damage

Animal nests

Leaves and debris

Downdrafts

Blockages

We install durable, properly fitted chimney caps that keep your chimney safe, dry, and functioning efficiently.

Chimney Relining—Our Specialty

Your chimney liner is essential for safe operation. A damaged or outdated liner can cause:

Carbon monoxide leaks

Chimney fires

Poor draft

Excessive creosote buildup

Heating system inefficiency

With 30 years of experience, chimney relining is one of our strongest specialties. We install high quality stainless steel liners that:

Improve safety

Enhance airflow

Protect masonry

Extend chimney life

Support fireplaces, wood stoves, and oil/gas heating systems

If your liner is cracked, deteriorated, or improperly sized, we provide the safest, most reliable solution.

Chimney Waterproofing to Prevent Leaks and Damage

Moisture is the number one cause of chimney deterioration. Waterproofing protects your chimney from:

Rain penetration

Freeze-thaw damage

Mold and mildew

Brick spalling

Interior leaks

We apply professional grade waterproofing that allows your chimney to breathe while blocking water intrusion — extending the life of your masonry and preventing costly repairs.

Chimney Rebuilds for Severe Damage

When a chimney is too damaged for standard repairs, a rebuild may be necessary. We provide:

  • Partial chimney rebuilds
  • Full chimney reconstruction
  • Crown rebuilds
  • Structural reinforcement

Our rebuilds are completed with precision, quality materials, and craftsmanship that ensures long term safety and durability.

Chimney Blockage Removal

Blockages are a major fire and carbon monoxide hazard. We safely remove:

Animal nests

Leaves and debris

Soot and creosote obstructions

Collapsed flue materials

A clear chimney ensures proper ventilation and safe operation of your fireplace or heating system.
