Chimney Rebuilding in Queens & Long Island
When bricks are loose, the chimney leans or the masonry above the roof has deteriorated too far to repair, rebuilding is the safe fix. We take the chimney down to sound masonry and rebuild it, usually from the roofline up.
What is chimney rebuilding?
A rebuild is the right call when the masonry is too far gone to repair: bricks are loose, mortar has washed out, the chimney leans or the crown and top courses are falling apart.
Most rebuilds are from the roofline up, since that's the part exposed to weather. We take the chimney down to sound masonry and rebuild it with a new crown, cap and flashing.
