Masonry Repair Services
Beautiful, Durable Results From the Experts at Chimney Knights
Your chimney and fireplace are key architectural features of your home, and their masonry plays a major role in both appearance and structural stability. While brickwork can last for generations, the mortar that holds it all together naturally wears down much sooner. Once mortar begins to crack, crumble, or separate, moisture is able to enter the structure—leading to weakened bricks, internal damage, and long-term deterioration.
At Chimney Knights, we understand how important it is to address masonry issues early. Exposure to rain, snow, and freezing temperatures causes bricks and mortar to expand and contract repeatedly, slowly breaking them down from the inside out. Even when the damage isn’t immediately visible, warning signs often include:
Loose or crumbling brick pieces
Cracks in brick or mortar
Recessed or missing mortar joints
White staining (efflorescence)
Greenery or moss growing on the masonry
Evidence of moisture or leaks inside the home
Recognizing these problems early helps prevent more extensive—and expensive—structural failures later on.
Our CSIA-certified technicians specialize in restoring damaged masonry and preventing new issues from forming, helping you maintain both the safety and the beauty of your chimney and fireplace.
Our Masonry Repair Services
Every chimney and fireplace has unique needs, which is why we offer a full range of professional masonry repair options. Our team ensures that each repair blends seamlessly with your existing structure while restoring strength, stability, and visual appeal.
Repointing
Repointing involves removing and replacing deteriorated mortar joints. This detailed process:
Restores the chimney’s structural integrity
Prevents water penetration
Extends the lifespan of the chimney
Ensures a clean, cohesive appearance
We carefully match the color and texture of the original mortar for a flawless finish.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is used when both the mortar and the brick have minor damage. We apply mortar that matches the brick color closely, creating a crisp, refreshed look while preserving the original character of the structure.
Firebox Repair
The firebox experiences extreme heat and constant use, making it one of the first areas to show signs of wear. We repair damaged firebrick, replace failing mortar, and ensure the interior of your fireplace operates safely and efficiently.
Chimney & Fireplace Rebuilds
When masonry damage is extensive—or when the structure was not built properly to begin with—a partial or full rebuild may be necessary. Our rebuilds are crafted to:
Meet modern safety and code standards
Improve performance
Enhance the look of your home
Provide long-lasting strength and durability
We approach every rebuild with precision and attention to detail.
Protect Your Masonry With Waterproofing
After repairs are complete, we strongly recommend protecting your chimney and fireplace with our professional masonry waterproofing service. Using high-quality, environmentally friendly products, we create a breathable barrier that:
Repels exterior moisture
Allows trapped vapor to escape
Prevents cracking, staining, and freeze–thaw damage
Helps your masonry stay strong and beautiful for years
Waterproofing is one of the best ways to preserve your investment and extend the life of your repaired masonry.
