Chimney masonry repair in Atlanta, GA

Your chimney is the tallest, most exposed piece of masonry on your house. Sun, storms and the occasional hard freeze work on it year after year, and small problems in the brick and mortar turn into big ones once water gets inside.

What we repair

Cracked and broken bricks, spalling brick where the face has flaked or popped off, loose bricks near the top of the chimney, worn mortar joints and damaged brick or stone. Inside the house, we repair firebox masonry and cracked hearths.

Brick replacement

Damaged bricks are cut out and replaced with brick matched as closely as we can to the color, size and texture of the original, then set in mortar matched to your joints.

Stopping the cause

Most masonry damage starts with water. White staining, flaking brick and crumbling joints all point to moisture getting in. Along with the repair, we fix the source, such as the crown, cap or flashing, so the damage does not keep coming back.

Repair or rebuild?

Most chimneys can be repaired. When the damage is widespread, the chimney leans or the brick crumbles when touched, rebuilding the top section is often the better long-term fix. We show you photos and explain both options.
