Chimney crown repair from the roof down
Broken corners and crumbling crown edges
Crown edges and corners take the most weather and usually fail first. Once a corner breaks off, water runs into the gap and the damage spreads along the edge. Homeowners often find the broken pieces on the roof, in the gutter or in a flower bed.
Small edge damage on a sound crown can sometimes be rebuilt with a repair mortar made for the job. When the edges are crumbling all the way around, a new crown is the honest answer. We show you the damaged sections so the recommendation makes sense to you.
Fallen pieces can also scuff shingles and clog gutters and downspouts. When our crew repairs a crown, we collect loose pieces from the roof and the gutters around the chimney, so the damage stops spreading once the crown itself is fixed.
Tar, roof cement and caulk on the crown
Roofing tar and caulk spread over crown cracks are common quick fixes. They seal for a while, then crack and hold water against the concrete. The dark smears also hide whatever is happening underneath.
Our crew removes old tar and caulk before judging the crown, because the real condition sits below it. The estimate lists that removal as its own step, so you can see what the cleanup involves and why the repair has to start there.
Removing tar takes time because it softens in heat and smears. Our crew scrapes and cleans until the concrete surface is exposed, then lets the crown dry before any repair. That extra care is why a proper repair outlasts the quick fix that came before it.
A local family business on your roof
Our company is family owned and operated. The people who inspect your crown, write the estimate and do the work answer to the family that owns the business, and they answer the phone too.
That shows in small things, a call back when we say we will, a clean roof when we leave and honest advice when a coating will do and a rebuild is unnecessary. We would like to be the chimney company Mount Plymouth Lakes neighbors recommend to each other.
A family business depends on the word of the people it has worked for. When a neighbor asks who fixed your chimney, we want you to give our name without hesitating. Every crown job is held to that standard, from the first phone call to the last sweep of the roof.
Using the fireplace while the crown is cracked
In many cases a cracked crown is mainly a water problem. The damage builds slowly as rain soaks the brick and the inside of the chimney.
If pieces of the crown have fallen into the flue or the flue tile is cracked at the top, stop using the fireplace until it has been checked. Our technician tells you plainly whether it is reasonable to use it before the repair is done.
If you notice water in the firebox, smell damp masonry or see debris falling onto the grate, stop using the fireplace and book a free inspection. Our technician checks the crown and flue and tells you when it is safe to light a fire again.

Chimney crown repair questions in Mount Plymouth Lakes
Do I need to be home during the crown repair?
Someone needs to be home for the inspection so we can look at the fireplace from inside. For the repair itself we mostly work from the roof, so many homeowners leave the gate open and a phone number. We call you when the work is done and walk you through it.
Do you offer a discount on chimney crown repair?
Crown repair booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off. Mention the offer when you book and we note it on your written estimate.
