Chimney Repair in Brooklyn, NY From Your Local Crew

Brooklyn gets nearly 50 inches of precipitation a year, and that steady moisture is what wears a chimney down. Water soaks into brick and mortar, freezes on cold nights and expands, and after enough winters the brick faces flake and the joints open. Repair work here is mostly about stopping that cycle: sealing the top of the stack, replacing failed mortar and fixing the spots where water gets in. Our own local crew does the work, and the free written estimate lists each repair so you know exactly what is being done and why.

Chimney Repair for Brooklyn Homes

Sunset Park was developed mostly between 1892 and 1910, and the majority of its row houses are faced with brick. On a stack that old we match the repair mortar to the original brick, so the new joints do not crack the faces around them.

Dyker Heights has detached and semi-detached homes, many with driveways and private yards. On those houses the chimney often runs up an outside wall, open to weather on three sides, and the upper courses and crown usually fail first.

Our crew repairs chimneys in Sunset Park, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Marine Park and Sheepshead Bay.

When to Call Us

  • Crumbling or missing mortar between bricks

Chimney Repair Questions in Brooklyn

Can a crumbling chimney on a Brooklyn row house be repaired, or does it need a rebuild?
Most can be repaired. If the damage is limited to the crown, a few courses of brick and the mortar joints, we fix those sections. Rebuilding above the roofline only makes sense when brick is loose through the stack, and we show you which case you are in before any work starts.
Do I need approval to repair the chimney on a landmarked Brooklyn house?
If the building sits in a historic district, exterior work that changes how the chimney looks, such as rebuilding it above the roofline, can need approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Ask the commission early, and we will plan the schedule around that step.
Can a small crack wait?
It can wait a little, but freeze and thaw cycles widen cracks every winter. Fixing a crown or a few joints early costs far less than rebuilding.
