Before you repair chimney masonry in Lockwood
Questions every Lockwood homeowner should have answered before chimney masonry is cut out.
When an inspection report flags masonry
Home inspection reports often note chimney masonry in a single line, such as cracked mortar or loose brick at the top. That line rarely says whether the problem is cosmetic, routine or structural.
We inspect the same masonry, separate maintenance items from anything that needs a closer look, and write up only the work the chimney needs. Buyers and sellers each get a plain answer they can use, with each item priced on its own line.
When more damage turns up during the work
Removing loose material sometimes reveals a wider unsound area than the surface showed. It is one of the few surprises masonry work can hold.
When it happens, we stop, show you the new boundary and explain what changed, what can still stay and how it affects the finish and the price. Nothing extra goes ahead without your agreement. If you are not home, we call you before continuing, and if the change is large, we can make the area safe and return once you have decided.
Every crack has a cause
Cracks in chimney masonry come from movement, water, hard mortar, rusting steel, loads on the chimney or heat, and the right repair depends on which one it is.
A crack filled without asking why it opened often opens again next to the repair. We look at the crack's pattern and surroundings before choosing a method, and the estimate states the likely cause alongside the fix. Where the cause cannot be fixed by masonry work, such as ongoing movement, we say that before quoting rather than after the crack returns.
Old anchor holes and fasteners
Chimneys collect fasteners over the years, from old antenna straps to cable clips and light fixtures. Each hole drilled into brick or mortar can let water in and start a crack.
We remove attachments that no longer serve a purpose, fill the holes with material suited to the masonry and repair any joints the fasteners damaged. Anything still in use is left in place and noted in the estimate. Filled holes are finished to blend with the surrounding masonry as closely as practical, so the chimney does not end up dotted with patches.

Brick and mortar answers for Lockwood homeowners
What Lockwood homeowners ask us before chimney masonry is repaired.
Why are there white deposits on my chimney?
White deposits usually mean water is moving through the masonry and leaving dissolved minerals behind as it dries. Brick industry guidance says to find and fix the water source first, or the deposits come back. We look for that source during the inspection.
Is your chimney masonry work guaranteed?
Yes. Masonry we repair is covered by our workmanship warranty, and if you are not satisfied, our 100% satisfaction guarantee has us back to make it right.
