Chimney Repair
This is our repair hub. Chimneys fail in a lot of small ways — a cracked crown, worn mortar, a rusted cap, a leak at the flashing — and the right fix depends on what's actually wrong. We start by understanding the problem, then recommend what makes sense.
A system, not a single part
A chimney is a stack of components that each do a job: the crown sheds water, the cap keeps out rain and animals, the liner protects the masonry and vents combustion, the flashing seals the roof line, and the masonry holds it all together. A problem in one place often shows up somewhere else.
We don't make problems bigger than they are
Sometimes the answer is a targeted repair. Sometimes a component needs replacing. And sometimes the honest answer is that a large project isn't necessary. We explain the options so you can decide.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which repair I need?
Start with an inspection. Many chimney problems are not visible from the room, so the repair plan should be based on what an evaluation actually finds.
Can small chimney problems wait?
Some can, some shouldn't. Water intrusion in particular tends to get worse with Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles, so it's worth understanding sooner rather than later.
