Frequently Asked Questions

What is chimney repointing?

Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. This restores structural integrity and prevents water infiltration.

Why choose a copper chimney cap?

Copper chimney caps are extremely durable, never rust, and develop a beautiful patina over time. They're custom-fabricated to fit your chimney perfectly and can last 50+ years.

How often should chimneys be inspected?

We recommend annual inspections, especially before winter. Regular maintenance prevents minor issues from becoming expensive repairs.
