Chimney Masonry & Repair in Connecticut

What chimney masonry work involves

Chimney masonry covers repairs to the brick, mortar, crown, flashing and flue of a chimney. Common jobs include repointing crumbling mortar joints, rebuilding a leaning or spalling stack above the roofline, replacing a cracked concrete crown, and fixing flashing where water gets in. New Britain has plenty of older brick homes and freeze-thaw winters, so moisture damage is the usual cause.

What to look for

Ask whether the contractor is licensed and insured, and whether they will inspect the flue as well as the exterior. Get a written scope that names the materials, such as mortar matched to the existing brick, and says how much of the chimney will be taken down and rebuilt. Be wary of a fix that is only sealant over failing joints. Ask to see photos of earlier chimney work.

Common questions about chimney masonry & repair

How much does chimney repair cost?
Small jobs like a crown repair or flashing fix often run a few hundred to around $1,500. Repointing commonly costs $500 to $2,500 depending on height and condition. A partial or full rebuild can reach $3,000 to $10,000 or more. Get at least two written quotes.
How often does a chimney need masonry repair?
A well built chimney may go 20 years or more between major work, but mortar joints and crowns often need attention sooner in freeze-thaw climates. Have it inspected yearly and after any severe storm.
What should I expect during a repair?
Expect an inspection, a written scope, scaffolding or roof access, and removal of damaged brick or mortar before new work. Most repointing and crown jobs take one to three days. Rebuilds take longer and need curing time.
How can I tell if the work is good quality?
Mortar joints should be full, even and color matched, with no gaps or smearing. The crown should slope away from the flue, and flashing should be sealed and lapped properly. Ask for a warranty in writing.
