5. Chimney Repointing: Attic and Roof

Interior chimney in an attic, repointed and stabilized against damage.

Shown here is the process: After removing bad mortar and refilling gaps with mortar, a stabilizing layer of masonry wire and stucco is applied to the outer surface.

Up on the roof, the old chimney was also very weathered and missing a lot of mortar. Skilled repointing, re-flashing and tarring over the flashing made it look great again, and it should stay weather-tight for years to come.

6. Rebuild Chimney Base

I have seen some funky things in Masonry! Someone decided to build a BBQ in their Chimney :). The new owner got my team and I to restore it. This entailed cleaning off the old mortar stains , matching the existing brick and replacing the concrete in front of chimney.
