Fireplace & Chimney Masonry Services In New Haven & Fairfield CT

Your chimney is one of the most distinguishing features of your home. Unfortunately, your chimney also takes a beating from the elements. From extreme temperatures to rain and snow, your chimney must withstand everything that Mother Nature has to offer. On the other end, settling in your home’s foundation can also wreak havoc on your chimney, making your fireplace structurally vulnerable and causing ugly cracks that can detract from both the beauty and value of your home.

For these reasons, tuckpointing and masonry repairs are something that you must expect when you own masonry chimney. And while most masons can do this, when it comes to your chimney, it has to be done right or you will be paying to have it done again.

When to Call a Professional Chimney Mason

When you first begin to notice that your chimney bricks are starting to flake or mortar is falling out, you should have your chimney evaluated as soon as possible. Oftentimes, masonry repairs can be done for a very reasonable price.
