Asset Roofing & Chimney repairs, repoints, relines and rebuilds these chimneys. Because so many Madison homes have slate or steep asphalt roofs, chimney flashing is a particular focus; it is one of the most common leak sources in the borough and often blamed on the roofing. Mid-century and newer homes in Madison have simpler single-flue chimneys and, on later houses, prefabricated fireplaces with chase covers, which we also service.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Madison
We inspect from the roof and from inside before recommending anything. On a typical older Madison chimney the work is a combination of crown rebuilding, repointing the exposed section above the roofline with compatible mortar, new flashing, a cap on each active flue and, where the flue is in use, a liner. We match brick and mortar color as closely as possible on chimneys visible from the street.
If the stack above the roof is loose, leaning or deeply spalled on multiple faces, a rebuild from the roofline up is more durable than repeated patching. We rebuild to match the original coursing and, where present, the corbeled detail at the top so the chimney continues to look like it belongs on the house.
