The Service

Minnesota weather can be hard on chimney masonry. Over time, moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can cause mortar joints to deteriorate and brick or stone to crack, loosen or flake.


Depending on the condition of the chimney and the overall project,

our work may include:

  • Chimney tuckpointing or repointing
  • Replacement of deteriorated mortar joints
  • Replacing isolated cracked, loose or spalled brick or stone
  • Repairing or rebuilding damaged masonry sections
  • Matching new mortar and masonry to the existing
  • Replacing damaged chimney crown or cap

What Is Chimney Tuckpointing / Repointing?

Mortar joints help hold chimney masonry together and protect it from Minnesota weather. During tuckpointing or repointing, deteriorated mortar is removed and replaced with new mortar that is compatible with the existing brick or stone.


This restores the joints, improves the appearance of the chimney and helps protect the surrounding masonry from further deterioration.

Our Chimney Repair Process

  1. Review the visible condition of the brick, stone and mortar
  2. Identify the masonry repairs included in the project
  3. Complete the approved tuckpointing, brick replacement or masonry restoration
  4. Review the finished work and clean the project area
