When is a Chimney Repair Not Enough?

In many cases the damage of a chimney is so substantial that tuckpointing will not work. When this happens a chimney repair, and/or fireplace, rebuild is necessary. As a result of direct exposure to all aspects of weather (especially moisture and freeze-thaw cycles), the mortar that keeps the bricks held together will crack, allowing water entry. The brickwork is porous and becomes saturated. This creates the framework of the brick to degrade, which causes a safety concern for the chimney and for your home.

Types of Brick Chimney Rebuilds

There are two common rebuilds of a chimney: partial and full. Partial chimney rebuilds are mostly done above the roof or the top few courses of a chimney, which generally also requires a new crown. Full chimney rebuilds consist of completely rebuilding the fireplace and chimney. This service consists of demolishing the outer layer of brick on a chimney system and adding a new crown. With a full rebuild, the firebox, smoke chamber, and hearth do not typically have to be replaced. Chimney rebuilds are required when the chimney is leaning, has extensive masonry damage, or vertical cracking has occurred.

Expert Masonry Repair and Brick Repair

In addition to chimneys and fireplaces, Excel Chimney and Fireplace repair does excellent residential brick work. We can create or repair porches, entry towers, mailbox supports, and decorative brick installation and restoration.

Excel Chimney is quick and professional in their responses. I feel confident they would do a great job with any chimney-related work you might need. – Jason A.

They fit me into their very busy fall schedule and did a thorough job of repairing and water-sealing my chimney. In the course of the repair, they found more loose bricks than anticipated, but stuck with the originally quoted price. I was very pleased with the service and the price. Highly recommended. – Michael B.

Excel was introduced to us through Homeowners Club.

Dick, the owner, came out to survey the state of our chimney and provide an estimate.

Members of the Excel team visited on three separate occasions to complete the three tasks:
- replace the B-vent; - re-mortar the top portion of our chimney, and spot-mortar the rest of the chimney;
apply waterproofing to the chimney surface. All members of the crew had a professional and considerate attitude.
The B-vent was unusually difficult to replace, but the Excel team climbed into the attic and did the extra work necessary to remove the hold unit. Excel worked well with the roofing company that came in after the to re-roof the house. – Jeff B.

I had Excel Chimney repair my chimney last week. The estimator who came out was very friendly and seemed to know exactly what he was talking about. I scheduled the repair work and when they showed up they were very kind and informative on any questions I may have had. They were prompt in getting to my home and did not do a rush job, they took their time and did a good job and made sure they cleaned up after themselves. I do appreciate that! - Cindy H.

Excel chimney rebuilt two 100+ year-old chimneys on our home. I called in November, and had to schedule for March, but that was OK with my timeline. They came out exactly as scheduled and got to work - the new chimneys look nice, with a few artistic touches added in. The included chimney caps are nice-looking. The workers were friendly and competent and kept everything clean. Overall, I would be glad to work with them again, although I don't expect the new chimneys to fail any time soon – Kevin B.
