Chimney masonry covers the brick, mortar, flue and cap work that keeps water and smoke where they belong. Typical jobs in New Haven's older housing stock include repointing crumbling joints, rebuilding the top few courses above the roofline, replacing cracked crowns, installing flashing and relining flues. Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on soft historic brick, so the cause of damage matters as much as the patch.
Ask whether the contractor matches mortar to the existing brick. Hard modern mortar on old brick makes it spall. Confirm they carry liability insurance and hold a Connecticut home improvement contractor registration. Get a written scope that names the work, such as repoint versus rebuild, and says how scaffolding or roof access is handled. Be wary of anyone who wants to coat bricks with sealant and call it a repair.
