We inspect chimneys from the roof and from inside, using a camera where needed, and explain what is urgent and what can wait. Most Fort Lee chimney repairs are exterior masonry: new crowns, caps, repointing, brick replacement and waterproofing. Relining with a stainless steel liner is the fix when the flue itself has deteriorated or is the wrong size for a gas appliance.
Because we also roof, we handle the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, which is where many Fort Lee chimney leaks actually originate. Wind-driven rain gets behind lifted counterflashing long before it gets through sound brick. One crew addresses the masonry and the roofline together, so there is no gap between trades and no second contractor to call.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Fort Lee
If your Fort Lee chimney shows a cracked crown, missing cap, loose mortar, white staining or pieces of tile in the cleanout, schedule an inspection. Exterior repairs like crowns, caps, repointing and waterproofing are routine and prevent much more expensive damage. A chimney that has lost brick or is leaning above the roofline may need a partial rebuild, which we also do.
If the chimney vents a gas furnace or boiler and has never been relined, have the flue checked. Estimates are free.
