Water is the chief enemy of Everett chimneys. Marine moisture off Port Gardner, wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw on cold north-Sound nights crack crowns and erode mortar — fast on exposed bayfront and bluff-side homes. Once water gets behind the brick, the damage snowballs.
We rebuild and seal crowns, repoint failing mortar, and rebuild masonry above the roofline when needed, matching brick and color on historic homes. Everything is waterproofed for Everett's wet, exposed climate.

Chimney & Crown Repair — your questions
How can I tell if water is damaging my chimney?
White staining, crumbling mortar, spalling brick, or dampness in the firebox are all signs. A camera inspection confirms exactly where water is getting in.
Can you match the brick on my historic home?
Yes. We color-match mortar and source matching brick so repairs blend with Everett's older mill-era masonry.
Should I repair my crown before winter?
Yes. Water in a cracked crown freezes and widens the cracks each cold night, so sealing before winter prevents far costlier damage.
