How It Works

We take the guesswork out of chimney repairs with a transparent, 5-step process designed for quality and peace of mind.

1. Inspection

We conduct a thorough examination of your chimney's exterior to identify spalling, mortar decay, and structural risks.

2. Assessment

Our certified masons document the extent of the damage and explain the root causes of the masonry failure.

3. Repair Plan

You receive a clear, customized estimate outlining the exact scope of work and the durable materials we'll use.

4. Masonry Work

We carefully remove damaged sections, meticulously match your existing brickwork, and apply waterproofing sealants.

5. Final Review

A final walkthrough with our team ensures the structure is solid, secure, and fully restored to its original beauty.

Structural Integrity

What Is the Freeze-Thaw Cycle?

Your brickwork is naturally porous, soaking in water throughout the year. Once temperatures drop below freezing, that trapped water expands, exerting extra pressure on the surrounding brick and mortar. When temperatures rise again, the ice melts and the material contracts. This repeated expansion and contraction (sometimes occurring multiple times in a single day) gradually widens cracks, crumbles mortar joints, and causes brick faces to spall and break away.

Backed By Quality Workmanship

We work hard to ensure you're fully satisfied and that things are done right the first time.

I highly recommend Blackburns Chimney Services. When requesting a quote for services (tuckpointing and crown repair), they were the only company that went on my roof and took photographs of my chimney. The price was competitive and fair. Being attentive to details, I was impressed at the repairs and how well the technicians cleaned the roof, following grinding out the old mortar. They exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough about how fantastic this company has been to work with, even down to the office staff.

Technicians were very knowledgeable and made sure that I was comfortable with every aspect of the work being done. They also were careful to protect surfaces in the house and remove all debris and remnants after repair.

We have used Blackburns for years. They noted some mortar joints showing their age, but did not try to push an immediate, expensive repair job since it could wait. They also did a great Santa trick for the kids! We will continue to use Blackburns in the future.
