Chimney repointing explained for Eagles Nest homeowners
This is how our local crew thinks through repointing for chimneys in Eagles Nest.
Mapping each face of the chimney
Mortar rarely wears evenly around a chimney. One face may take most of the wind-driven rain, another may sit under a roof edge that spills water, and a third may be in shade and stay damp longer.
Our pros record the condition of each face of your Eagles Nest chimney separately. The estimate lists the faces and areas to be repointed, so you can see why one side needs more work than another and so the price reflects the chimney you actually have. It also shows which faces can be left alone for now.
Type O where a cement-rich mix is too strong
Industry guidance describes Type O as a lower-strength mortar, appropriate where mixes with higher cement content would be too strong for proper performance. It carries more lime relative to cement, which makes it softer and more workable.
Some chimneys in Eagles Nest have softer brick or older, weaker mortar that would be overpowered by a stronger mix. In those cases our masons may recommend Type O and explain why in the estimate, so you understand that a lower strength is the right call for the wall. The right choice depends on the brick you have.
Controlling dust around your home
Raking out mortar makes dust, and on a chimney that dust drifts toward windows, doors, cars and pool areas. A little planning keeps it where it belongs.
Before work starts at your Eagles Nest home, our crew asks you to close nearby windows, covers what needs covering below the chimney and cleans up at the end of each day. If you have concerns about a particular area, tell us at the inspection and we will plan around it. Pets and children should stay clear of the area below the chimney while the crew is on the roof.

Repointing answers for Eagles Nest homeowners
If your question is not here, call our Eagles Nest crew and ask.
Do you use grinders to remove mortar?
Mostly hand tools. A grinder may help on wide, hard horizontal joints in skilled hands, but head joints are always finished by chisel so the bricks above and below are not cut.
Will the work make a mess?
Raking makes dust, so we cover the roof and nearby areas, ask you to close windows and clean up each day. Gutters, walkways and the roof are cleared before the crew leaves your Eagles Nest home.
