Resetting and repointing chimney stone
Blocked weep openings in anchored veneer
Anchored veneer drains through weep openings near its base and above flashings. Mortar droppings and debris can block them over time, trapping water in the space behind the stone. A wall that cannot drain holds water against the ties and the back of the stone.
We check that weeps are open where they should be. Clearing them is simple work that can make a real difference to how the wall dries. If weeps are missing where the design needs them, we explain the options for adding drainage. Those options are priced separately, because they involve opening joints.
The people who repair your stone
We are a family-owned, locally owned company, and the team that inspects your stone chimney is the team that repairs it. The reasoning behind the estimate stays with the work from start to finish. You also know exactly who to contact if a question comes up after the job.
Ask anything, from why a joint is raked by hand to how a replacement stone was chosen. Good stone repair depends on choices you understand. We would rather explain something twice than leave you guessing about what is happening on your roof.
Protecting the roof and garden below
Stone repair produces dust, mortar droppings and broken pieces. We protect roofing, gutters, paths and plantings below the chimney before starting, and we keep removed stones off surfaces they could scratch or crack. Stone dust is swept rather than washed off roofing, so it does not run into gutters.
At the end of every work day, open areas are sheltered from rain and loose material is gathered up. Once the job is complete, the debris leaves with us. Point out anything below the chimney that is delicate, like a plant bed or a pool deck, and we will shield it.
Safe access and care for the roof
Most stone chimney work happens from the roof or from ladders and staging beside it. Stone is heavy, so access is planned so that nothing is stacked on the roof covering or dropped from height. Removed stones are carried down or set on protected boards, never piled loose on shingles or tile.
Let us know the roof covering and any weak spots you are aware of, so staging and stone handling can be planned around them. Where a face cannot be reached safely, we tell you what that leaves unrepaired rather than improvising.

Stone chimney repair questions
Do you seal stone chimneys after a repair?
Only if it suits the stone and its maker allows it. Some sealers trap moisture or darken stone. If a water repellent is appropriate, it goes on after repairs and curing, as its own line on the estimate.
Is there a warranty on stone chimney repair?
Our work carries a workmanship warranty. We explain its terms with the estimate, and the written record of the work lists which stones were reset, which were replaced and which joints were repointed.
When is a hose water test used on a stone chimney?
Selectively, when the job calls for it, meaning the water route is still in doubt and the answer would change which joints or stones we repair. Many stone jobs never need one, and we explain what it would show first.
