Chimney Rebuilding in Rochester, NY
Some chimneys are past the point of patching. Years of water and freeze-thaw cycles can loosen brick until the stack leans or falls apart. Mr. Fix It rebuilds chimneys so they're solid and watertight again.
Partial vs. full chimney rebuild
A partial rebuild replaces the damaged section — usually above the roofline, where weather hits hardest. A full rebuild is needed when damage runs deeper. We'll explain which one your chimney needs and why.
What a rebuild includes
We do the chimney and the roof around it together.
- Careful tear-down of damaged brick
- New brick and mortar laid to match where possible
- New chimney crown
- Chimney cap installation
- New flashing tied into the roof
- Cleanup of all debris
Common problems we see
- A chimney visibly leaning away from the house
- Loose bricks or bricks falling onto the roof
- Mortar so worn you can see gaps through the joints
- Repeated tuckpointing that keeps failing
- A crumbling crown on top of an old chimney
Why Rochester homeowners hire Mr. Fix It
- Roofing and masonry handled by one crew
- Flashing installed correctly so leaks don't return
- 20+ years working on Rochester-area chimneys
- We only recommend a rebuild when repair won't last
Common questions
How do I know if I need a rebuild or just a repair?
Leaning, widespread loose brick or failed past repairs usually mean a rebuild. Isolated damage can often be repaired — we'll inspect and tell you honestly.
How long does a chimney rebuild take?
Most partial rebuilds take a few days, depending on size and weather.
