Planning the joint work on your Crown Point chimney
Homeowners in Crown Point ask about points like these on almost every chimney we repoint.
Spot repointing or a larger section
Repointing only the failed areas keeps more original mortar in place, and Preservation Brief 2 notes that spot repointing is generally preferable. The same brief adds that when old and new mortar differ too much, repointing a whole area or feature can look better.
We talk through both with you in Crown Point. If the failed joints are scattered on an otherwise sound chimney, spot work may be right. If they cover most of a face, repointing that face gives a more even look and closes joints that are about to fail.
Letting each layer firm up before the next
Preservation Brief 2 explains that each layer should reach thumbprint hardness before the next goes on, since most shrinkage happens while the mortar hardens and layering keeps overall shrinkage down.
In practice, our crew works along a stretch of wall on your Crown Point chimney, filling the backs of the joints, then returns to add the next layer once the first has firmed up. The rhythm of the day follows the mortar, not the clock. Warm, sunny days speed this up and damp days slow it down, and the crew adjusts accordingly.
A clean site when the crew leaves
Repointing produces dust, crumbs of old mortar and splashes of new. All of it should be gone when the job is done, from the roof, the gutters and the ground below.
Our crew sweeps the roof around your Crown Point chimney, clears the gutters of mortar debris, cleans walkways and removes all waste. Brick faces are brushed clean as the work goes, so the chimney looks finished, not freshly smeared. If anything is missed, tell us at the walk-through and it is dealt with before we leave.

Before your chimney repointing in Crown Point
If your question is not here, call our Crown Point crew and ask.
What if my chimney is stucco or stone?
Stucco has no exposed joints to repoint, and stone joints need a different approach. We tell you at the inspection and point you to the service that suits your chimney.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Not for most of it, since the work happens on the roof. We do ask to walk the finished chimney with you, and someone should be reachable if a question about the scope comes up.
