Flashing Repair
 

When flashing is not constructed & sealed properly between the chimney and the roof, it can cause severe water damage to the roof, leakage inside the house, as well as other issues such as mold. The sequence of pictures below take you briefly through our process of repair.

Rebuild From Roof Up
 

When a chimney is built in the center of the house, generally, there is only a limited amount of damage that occurs. In these cases, when necessary, we take the chimney down below the roof line, and rebuild it from the roof up. Below are a few before and after pictures of rebuilds that we have done.

Full Rebuild & New Construction
 

In some cases, you may just want a masonry chimney or chase where there isn’t one already. A chase is built to look like a chimney, but it is a framed out box that runs vertically along side the house. Sometimes a chase is covered in vinyl siding to match the house. Otherwise, it is typically faced with either brick or stone to mimic a real chimney.
 
In some cases, a full, existing chimney is either in bad disrepair, or due to settling or other factors, the chimney has pulled away from the house. The only way to fix these situations is to take the entire chimney down to the ground and start from scratch. Below, you will find a few examples of these different types of jobs.
