Fireplace and chimney cleaning for homes in Hialeah

Tuckpointing is careful, unhurried work, and it is one of the masonry services our family team offers in Hialeah. We cut out mortar that has gone soft or cracked, pack the joints with new mortar and tool them to match the rest of the wall. We do not smear a thin layer over the face, because that hides the problem instead of fixing it.

Every job begins with a free inspection. The free written estimate that follows shows how much of the chimney needs repointing and why, with upfront pricing. Say yes to any service on it during the 72 hours after your free inspection, and you pay 10% off the stated price. Preservation guidance on repointing sets out principles we follow on every wall.

Old mortar comes out to sound material, using tools that do not chip the brick edges. The new mortar should be no harder and no less permeable than the brick. Moisture and movement then pass through the joint rather than the brick face. Colour, texture and joint profile are matched so the repair does not stand out.

Masonry maintenance guidance adds a practical point. Joints fail fastest where water reaches them most, so the crown and flashing above deserve a look before any repointing is planned. Tell us where you see gaps or sand, and whether the problem sits near the roof line or lower down. Mention any past sealing or painting of the brick.

During the work we protect the roof, the plants below and the path to the chimney. Mortar waste is cleaned up and hauled away, and an open chimney is covered whenever we stop for the day. You receive a written record of the joints we repointed, and our workmanship warranty covers the repair.
