Chimney Repair & Repointing Services
Is your chimney looking worse-for-wear? Or, are you concerned about its structural integrity? At GWS Masonry, we can help with our quality-focused chimney rebuilding services. Whether you need a complete overhaul or a custom solution in the form of our own specialized caps, we have the tools and talent necessary to do the job properly.
Why Your Chimney May be Damaged
Chimneys serve as the highest point on a home or business property in order to push soot and smoke away from the building itself. However, that also means they are more exposed to the elements and often get hit the hardest by the weather. While they’re designed to take a beating from mother nature, they don’t last forever as they are commonly built from mortar, brick and similar materials that can deteriorate over time. The damage will start at the cap and find its way downwards, so chances are if the upper part of your chimney is in rough shape, the lower half may be losing its strength as well.
Our Chimney Repairs
Primary indicators that your chimney needs major work include red flags such as leaning and visible deterioration. In addition, exhaust leaks in strange areas on the chimney and improper cap installation can also pose issues. A simple repair may suffice but, in some cases, a chimney rebuilding may be necessary. We are fully prepared to handle either, so don’t hesitate to call us if your chimney is leaning or appears to be damaged – for your own safety and peace of mind!
Our Chimney Rebuilds
GWS Masonry’s professional team ensures there are no safety risks or dangers with your chimney. We achieve this by taking the chimney down to the most structurally stable point possible – all the way to the roofline if need be. Then, our experts carefully reconstruct it using the highest-quality materials and tools, finishing it off with our own custom metal chimney caps. We can address broken or damaged caps, leaning, and brick deterioration as a result of water leaks, among other issues.
Our Chimney Refacing
We tend to receive requests for refacing services during major renovations, especially lately. This is a process similar to repointing that focuses more on giving your chimney a refreshed look. Structural integrity can also be strengthened using this service.
