We repair and rebuild all types of brick, natural stone, block, cultured stone, and stucco on both residential and commercial properties

Tuck Pointing
Masonry work that is exposed to extreme temperature and moisture will develop cracks where water will penetrate and eventually loosen the bricks. We use the highest strength mortar and will work to match the existing mortar color.

Crown and Cap Repair
The crown can also develop cracks that will compromise the strength of a masonry chimney. When resealing a damaged crown, we use a special material that was formulated to ensure proper repair of damaged crowns. This material will bond to the old chimney crown

Chimney Rebuilds
Chimney rebuilds include the tearing down and rebuilding of an existing chimney. Most chimneys fall under the following categories of damage:

• Minor rebuild: small chimneys or only the top few courses of a large chimney.
• Tear-down to roofline: Substantial brick, stone, and or mortar deterioration has eliminated the possibility of tuck-pointing. The chimney is torn down to the flashing area near the roofline and rebuilt usually with new brick or stone and always with new mortar.
• Total rebuild: Complete tear down of the outer layer of brick or stone on a chimney. In most instances the firebox, hearth and smoke chamber do not have to be removed. Total rebuilds are necessary when a chimney is leaning, has severe mortar deterioration or severe spalling.

Spalling Repairs
Spalling refers to the scaling, pealing and/or flaking away of the brick or stone face. Some bricks or stone are more prone to spalling than others. It occurs when water in the brick or stone freezes and expands. In doing so, the pressure forces the face of the brick or stone to "pop" off. If only a few bricks or stones have spalled, they can be cut out and replaced.

However, brick replacement and masonry water-sealers provide minimal deterrence once the damage begins. The best way to stop spalling is to rebuild with new brick.

Clay Flue Tile Repair
The flue tiles of the chimney flue can become cracked and/or spalled or off-center causing a disruption in ventilation of the smoke. Our crews can replace the flue with a lifetime warranty, stainless steel flue to ensure proper ventilation.

Rebuild Fireplaces
Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the walls of fireplaces, returning them to their original or more efficient pristine condition.

Smoke Chamber Repair
The area above the masonry fireplace damper is know as the "smoke chamber". Sometimes this area has voids or offset bricks that make proper draft a problem. We can repair these areas by parging (smoothing) the entire smoke chamber.
