We repair chimneys throughout Nutley: repointing, new crowns, caps, flashing, stainless steel liners, rebuilding deteriorated upper sections, waterproofing and cleaning. We inspect the whole stack, from the flue interior to the flashing to the crown, and show you photos before recommending a scope, so you can see for yourself what is failing and why.
Compact lots put many Nutley chimneys close to a neighbor's roof or driveway. Loose brick or a crumbling crown at that height is a hazard to both houses, and tight access calls for careful staging. We plan the work with both properties in mind and keep debris contained from start to finish.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Nutley
An inspection tells you what the chimney needs. For most Nutley chimneys that means some combination of a crown, a cap, repointing and a liner for gas appliances. Where the upper section is loose or heavily deteriorated, a rebuild from the roofline up is the lasting fix. We provide photos and a written scope and distinguish urgent items from ones that can wait.
If your basement has taken on water in a flood or heavy rain, mention it. Saturated masonry at the chimney base can deteriorate, and it is worth a look while we are inspecting the rest.
