Our Chimney Repair Services
Full Chimney Rebuilds
When a chimney is too damaged for spot fixes, a full rebuild may be the safest route. We’ll remove the damaged materials and rebuild your chimney from the ground up — safely, securely, and in full compliance with local building codes.
Chimney Repointing & Tuckpointing
Over time, mortar between bricks starts to wear out. Our precision tuckpointing technique removes the old, failing mortar and replaces it with fresh, matching material that strengthens your chimney and keeps moisture out.
Brick Replacement & Crack Repairs
Cracked or spalling bricks? We can replace individual bricks or address wider damage using high-quality materials that match your home’s aesthetic.

Leaky roof near the chimney? Flashing is often the culprit. Our team replaces or seals flashing around your chimney to prevent future water intrusion.

Chimney Repair Questions Homeowners Ask Before Small Problems Turn Into Big Ones
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Some chimney problems are obvious, and some are sneaky.
Signs you may need chimney repair include cracked or crumbling mortar, loose bricks, leaning sections, water stains near the fireplace, damaged flashing, white staining on the brick, or pieces of masonry showing up in your yard or on your roof. If your chimney looks worn out, leaks during heavy rain, or seems to be pulling away from the house, it is a good idea to have it inspected before the damage gets more expensive.
What causes chimney damage?
In Michigan, chimneys take a beating from moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, wind, aging materials, and years of exposure to the elements. Water is usually the biggest troublemaker. Once moisture gets into brick, mortar, or flashing, it can lead to cracking, spalling, deterioration, and leaks. In some cases, chimney damage also starts with roof-related issues, worn sealants, or poor previous repairs that did not hold up the way they should have.
Can a leaking chimney cause damage inside my home?
Yes — and that is one of the biggest reasons chimney problems should not be ignored. A leaking chimney can allow water to reach your attic, ceilings, walls, insulation, or fireplace surround. What starts as a small leak outside can turn into stained drywall, rotted wood, mold concerns, or more extensive structural repairs inside the home. In other words, a “small chimney issue” has a bad habit of becoming a much bigger project when it gets left alone.
What is chimney tuckpointing, and when is it needed?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing damaged or deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with new mortar to restore the strength and appearance of the chimney. It is usually needed when the mortar between bricks starts cracking, eroding, or falling out. If the bricks are still in decent shape, tuckpointing can be a smart way to extend the life of your chimney without rebuilding the whole thing.
Can cracked chimney bricks be repaired, or does the chimney need to be rebuilt?
It depends on how extensive the damage is. If only a small section of bricks is cracked or deteriorated, targeted repairs may be enough. But if the chimney has widespread damage, major movement, structural instability, or severe water intrusion, a partial or full rebuild may be the safer and longer-lasting option. The best next step is a professional inspection so you know whether a repair will truly solve the problem or just buy a little time.
What is chimney flashing, and why does it matter?
Chimney flashing is the metal material installed where the chimney meets the roof. Its job is to keep water from sneaking into that joint and causing leaks. If flashing is loose, rusted, improperly installed, or pulling away from the chimney or roofing materials, water can work its way into the home. When homeowners think they have a roof leak, the chimney flashing is often one of the first places worth checking.
Why is my chimney brick flaking or falling apart?
That kind of damage is often called spalling. It happens when water gets into the brick, then expands and contracts during freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, the face of the brick starts to chip, peel, crack, or break apart. Spalling is more than just a cosmetic issue — it is a sign that moisture is getting where it should not, and the longer it continues, the weaker the chimney can become.
How long does chimney repair usually take?
That depends on the type and extent of the repair.
Minor masonry or flashing repairs may take a day or two, while more involved structural work or partial rebuilds can take longer. Weather also plays a role, especially when masonry materials need proper conditions to cure. A good contractor should walk you through the scope of work, timeline, and what to expect before the project begins.
Is chimney repair something I should handle right away, or can it wait?
Most chimney problems are worth addressing sooner rather than later.
Cracks, leaks, loose masonry, and failing mortar rarely fix themselves, and they usually get worse with time. Waiting can lead to more water damage, more structural deterioration, and a higher repair bill down the road. If your chimney is showing signs of wear, getting it checked now is almost always the cheaper and smarter move.
How much does chimney repair cost?
Chimney repair costs vary based on the type of problem, how long it has been going on, how accessible the chimney is, and whether the fix involves mortar repair, brick replacement, flashing work, waterproofing, or rebuilding sections of the structure. The best way to get an accurate number is with a site-specific inspection. That way, you are not guessing — and you are not paying for a solution that misses the real issue.
