Chimney Masonry
Our masons handle chimney repairs, maintenance and full restorations, and we check the roof where the chimney meets it.
Chimney problems usually show up slowly. Mortar washes out of the joints, bricks start to flake or crack, the crown on top splits, and water finds a way in. Often the first sign is a stain on a ceiling or a leak near where the chimney meets the roof. That is why we look at the masonry and the roof together. Our masons handle chimney repairs, regular maintenance and full restorations. On a smaller job, that can mean fixing worn joints or replacing a few damaged bricks. On an older chimney that has been through years of Ohio winters, it can mean a full restoration. Because we are roofers too, we can look at the flashing and shingles around the base. That way, a masonry repair doesn't leave a roof leak behind. When you call (513) 935-0869 or send us a message, we respond within 24 hours to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate. We walk you through what we found, what needs to be done now and what can wait. We also follow up after the work is finished.

Common questions
Is a leak around my chimney a roof problem or a masonry problem?
It can be either one, and sometimes both. Water can come through cracked brick, a split crown or failed flashing at the base. We handle roofing and chimney masonry, so we can track down where the water is actually getting in.
Does my chimney need a full restoration or just repairs?
Many chimneys only need minor repairs and regular maintenance. If the damage is widespread, a full restoration can be the better long-term fix. We show you what we found and explain the options before any work starts.
What if a storm damaged my roof around the chimney?
Our storm damage team can be on-site within 24 to 48 hours to assess the damage. We also help with the insurance claims process.
