Chimney Repair & Replacement
On a masonry structure, the chimney is usually the first component to show distress. It's free-standing, so it receives the brunt of mother nature's wrath. The chimney also shows signs of degradation long before other parts of your building. Call us to discuss ways to add years to your chimney's life!

GLENCOE, IL
​
This chimney belongs to a house about 100 years old. The owner was concerned with maintaining the integrity of the design to match the pattern of the bricks to the rest of the house. We were able to replicate the chimney exactly. After seeing our outstanding work, the owner decided not to paint the chimney to show off the natural beauty of the bricks!
WINNETKA, IL
​
Here we were asked to work on a chimney for another home about 100 years old. This chimney had a more sophisticated design, so the owner needed us to replicate the design EXACTLY, then tuckpoint the rest of the front of the house to match. Also, we needed to correct the mistakes inside the chimney (done by another company earlier) in order to successfully complete the job.
Mission accomplished!
