Chimney problems can range from annoying to downright dangerous. Before we begin any chimney repair work at your Henrietta, NY, home, we’ll perform a thorough inspection. This will tell us exactly what the problem is, why it’s happening and what to do about it.
Chimney Masonry Repair Henrietta NY
We address damaged chimney masonry by replacing bricks that are cracked or spalling. For crumbling mortar joints, we perform tuckpointing to fill in the spaces and strengthen the entire structure. After the chimney repair work is complete, we can waterproof the masonry to help prevent future damage from water and snow.

Henrietta, NY, homeowners call on the Felgemacher crew when their chimneys are badly damaged and beyond repair. We perform total and partial chimney rebuilds in strict compliance with New York state and local building and fire safety codes.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
Broken or cracked chimney liners will allow flames, heat and deadly carbon monoxide to escape. The result can be a house fire or toxic gases moving into the air inside your home. We can often repair a damaged liner; if the damage is severe, we recommend relining with a sturdy new stainless-steel liner.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
Widespread damage throughout a chimney system can happen when a chimney crown is cracked or deteriorated. We offer expert crown repair and complete crown rebuilding.
Chimney Cap Repair and Installation
Flue covers protect a chimney’s flue opening, while full-width custom chimney caps protect the entire top of a chimney. We repair minor damage to covers and caps. For replacement, we recommend full-width chimney caps.
