Need chimney repair? Most problems trace back to one of four things: the crown, the masonry, the flashing, or the liner. The trick is knowing which. We inspect it free, find the real issue, and price it on the spot — no guesswork, no surprises.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you see cracked or crumbling brick, you need repointing or masonry repair before water spreads behind it.

If water is getting in, it is usually the crown or flashing — a targeted seal. The trade-off is a few-hundred-dollar fix now versus structural water damage later.

If the flue itself is damaged, a reline is the durable fix; we confirm which on a free inspection.

Not sure? Text a photo and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

What we handle

Crown sealing matters when hairline cracks are letting water in; repointing matters when freeze-thaw has loosened the brick.

What homeowners say

“The tech called before he came, showed me photos of the cracked crown right on his phone, and gave me the price on the spot. No pressure, no upsell. Honestly refreshing.”
— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
— Allie T., Richmond, VA
