Chimney Repair & Rebuild Services

At Cahill Building and Roofing, we provide comprehensive chimney services tailored to your home’s specific needs. Depending on the condition of your chimney, we can perform targeted repairs or a full rebuild.

Typical services include:

  • Grind and Tuckpointing: Repairing mortar joints above the chimney flashing, cutting a drip edge into the existing chimney cap, and repairing the chimney crown using Type M concrete mix.

  • Chimney Rebuild: Rebuilding the chimney above the flashing with new brick and Type S mortar, installing a new cap with drip edge, and reconstructing the crown with Type M concrete mix.

  • Chimney Liner & Flue: Installing a new chimney liner with rain cap, reconnecting the furnace or water heater to the new liner, and replacing any defective flue pipes.

  • Additional Work: Resealing flashing at the base of the chimney when included.

All materials and workmanship are backed by a five-year guarantee, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
