Chimney Rebuilding & Restoration

Severely damaged chimneys in the Buffalo area often need to be partially or completely rebuilt. Chimney rebuilding can prevent a dangerous collapse that could seriously damage your roof, other areas of your home or people living in your home.

Partial chimney rebuilds: Often, just areas within the chimney stack (the part above the roof) need rebuilding. In other cases, you may need parts of the stack as well as sections within the breast (the part below the roof) rebuilt.

Full chimney rebuilds: When damage is significant throughout the chimney system, we typically recommend a full chimney rebuild that includes removing both the breast and the stack and rebuilding from the ground up.

Tuckpointing: This process is common during partial chimney rebuilding. Tuckpointing removes crumbling, decayed mortar and replaces it with a strong new compound to add years of life to your chimney.

Brick replacement: If there is damage to just some of the bricks in your chimney, our expert masons will replace them to restore strength and good looks to the structure.
