Another chimney project completed in Lake Barrington!

We installed new chimney flashing to provide a strong, watertight connection between the chimney and roof, helping prevent water pe*******on around the chimney base.

We also repaired and restored the overhanging chimney crown, creating proper protection and water runoff to help keep moisture away from the masonry and extend the life of the chimney.

Clean work. Proper protection. Built to last.

Another chimney project completed in Glenview! This smoke chamber had significant cracks and damaged areas that needed professional repair.

We restored the smoke chamber by repairing and sealing the cracks and damaged surfaces, creating a smoother transition for smoke and heat to properly travel into the flue.

A properly repaired smoke chamber improves fireplace performance, helps reduce creosote buildup, and most importantly provides a safer path for heat and combustion gases.

Another chimney restored and protected.

We rebuilt the chimney with a new overhanging concrete crown, properly pitched to direct rainwater away from the brickwork and help prevent future water pe*******on.

Clean work, proper drainage, and a chimney built to last.

Chimney crown repair and tuckpointing completed in Glenview, IL.

This chimney’s crown was cracked and letting water in, with deteriorated mortar joints throughout the brickwork. We rebuilt and sealed the crown, sealed around the flue tile, and tuckpointed the damaged joints with fresh mortar to restore the structure and keep moisture out.

Crown damage is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks — and one of the easiest to fix before it turns into a major rebuild.

This Deer Park chimney was left exposed for years — a rusted, deteriorating flue with no protection against rain, animals, or moisture damage.

Our team completed a full top-end restoration: removed the old rusted components, rebuilt and sealed the chimney crown, and installed new custom stainless steel chimney caps with a black powder-coated finish.

The result is a fully protected chimney that keeps water and wildlife out and extends the life of the entire structure. Swipe through the photos to see the transformation.
