Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
A chimney rebuild takes down the part of the chimney that can no longer be repaired and builds that portion back. It is for a stack that is leaning, separated, or so spalled that new brick has nothing sound to sit on.

The work
Often only the section above the roof is rebuilt. The chimney below the roofline may still be solid. The failed brick comes down, the flue tiles or liner in that section are reset or replaced, and a new crown is poured. Flashing is tied back into the roof when the work meets the shingles.
A rebuild is larger than masonry repair. If the damage is local, repair is the smaller job and that is what gets recommended.
Why it matters
A leaning chimney is not a cosmetic problem. Brick that has lost its bond can drop pieces, and a flue that has separated can spill gases. Rebuilding the failed height restores a continuous passage and a crown that sheds water.
The house does not need a story-high rebuild when only the top courses failed. The height of the work follows the damage.
What to expect
The portion to come down is identified first. The rebuild and the price are explained before any demolition.
