How a chimney crown gets fixed properly
Cleanup once the crown is finished
Concrete work is messy. Chips, dust and form lumber end up on the roof, in the gutters and around the yard when nobody takes charge of them.
Our crew carries the old crown down, sweeps the roof around the chimney, checks the gutters below and hauls everything away. The last thing we do before leaving your property is walk the yard with you.
We also check the firebox and the area around the fireplace inside, in case any dust found its way down. The flue is covered during the work, but a final look costs nothing and makes sure you find the house the way you left it.
When a home inspector flags the crown
Crown cracks are a frequent note on home inspection reports. If you are buying or selling in North Quarter, you need to know whether the crown needs a coating, a patch or a rebuild, and you need that answer in writing.
Our technicians inspect the crown and give you a written estimate you can share with the other side of the sale. We explain the findings in plain words so buyer and seller both understand what the repair involves.
Timing matters in a sale. We can usually schedule the inspection quickly and deliver the written estimate promptly. If the repair has to happen before closing, we tell you how long it takes, including any cure time.
Crowns on older chimneys without a liner
Some older chimneys have no flue liner, only brick inside. The crown on those chimneys sits around a bare masonry opening, and there is no tile to seal against.
A crown repair on an unlined chimney is possible, but the missing liner is its own concern. We mention it in the estimate, along with chimney liner installation, so you can plan both together if you choose.
An unlined chimney also changes how we shape the crown around the flue opening, since there is no tile to separate from. Our crew sheds water away from the opening and keeps the top ready for a liner if you add one later.
Repair materials made for chimney crowns
Crown repairs call for materials made to bond to old concrete and stand up to weather on a chimney top. Ordinary bagged mortar often shrinks and cracks when it is spread thin over an old crown.
Our crew uses products suited to the repair, prepared the way the maker specifies. The estimate names the material, so you can look it up yourself or ask us anything about it.
Material choice also depends on the size of the repair. Thin repairs need products made to grip in thin layers, while larger sections need a mix that can be formed and cured like new concrete. Our crew matches the material to the repair, and the estimate says which one.

What homeowners ask about crown work
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.
Can you repair the crown on a stucco or block chimney?
Yes. Stucco and block chimneys have crowns too, and the edges need extra care where the crown meets the finish. We look at how water leaves the top and how the crown ties into the wall below before recommending a repair.
