Chimney Rebuilds & Full Restoration

When decades of weather have pushed a chimney past the point of repair, we rebuild it — plumb, to code, and built to outlast the roof it stands on. Most rebuilds are partial: the section above the roofline takes the worst of the weather and often fails decades before the rest of the stack.

Our rebuild process

  • Assessment & honest scoping — we rebuild only what actually needs rebuilding
  • Careful teardown — protecting your roof and property during demolition
  • Masonry construction — proper brick, flue tile alignment, and a cast crown with drip edge
  • Finishing — new cap, flashing tie-in, and cleanup that leaves no trace we were there
The cost of waiting: A failing stack sheds brick onto your roof — and eventually into your yard. Past a certain point, repair money is wasted money; rebuild once, correctly.

Signs a rebuild is on the horizon

  • Multiple courses of loose or missing brick at the top of the stack
  • A crumbling crown you can break apart by hand
  • Visible lean, deep cracking, or daylight through the masonry
  • A previous repair that keeps failing every spring

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a chimney rebuild take?

A partial rebuild above the roofline typically takes 1–3 days. Full rebuilds run longer depending on height and access. We give you a schedule up front and stick to it.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover it?

Sometimes — especially when damage traces to a specific storm event or chimney fire. We document conditions with photos that support your claim either way.

Can you rebuild it to look like the original?

Yes. Matching the original brick and profile is standard practice for us, including on older homes where character matters.
