Signs a chimney needs rebuilding, not repair
If only the mortar, crown or a few bricks are bad, a repair is enough, and we'll tell you so.
The stack leans
Or has a visible crack running through several courses
Widespread spalling
Brick faces flaking off across most of the chimney
Repeated repairs
That keep failing
Mortar so soft
It scratches out with a key
Storm damage
A top knocked loose by wind or a tree

Rebuild
With new or matched brick and fresh mortar, keeping the flue tiles aligned.

- 08
Clean-up
And before/after photos.
Rebuild with a new roof?
It's the best time. The flashing comes off anyway, the staging is up, and you only pay for one tear-out around the chimney. Many of our customers did both: see the reviews above and below.

FAQ
Chimney rebuild questions
How long does a chimney rebuild take?
Mortar needs above-freezing temperatures to cure.
Do I need a permit?
Some NJ towns require one for rebuilding a chimney.
Can you match my brick?
We match as closely as possible. On older homes we sometimes suggest a contrasting brick for the whole rebuilt section, which looks better than a near-miss.
Can I still use my fireplace after a rebuild?
Yes, once the mortar has cured. We'll tell you when. Have a certified sweep check the flue if you use it regularly.
Is a rebuild covered by insurance?
Usually only if a sudden event (wind, a tree, lightning) caused the damage. Wear from age isn't. We give you photos for a claim.
