What does chimney masonry repair involve exactly?
Our hardscaping specialists start with a thorough inspection of brick, mortar, flashing, and crown around the chimney, then deliver a tailored repair plan. Expect tuckpointing to rebuild mortar joints, targeted brick replacement, crown and cap work, flashing adjustments, and a weather-sealing finish. We protect your landscaping during work, control dust, and leave the area clean and secure.
