Common Questions

Masonry FAQ

Look for white staining (efflorescence), crumbling mortar, missing bricks, water in your firebox after rain, or a deteriorating crown.

Tuck-pointing replaces damaged mortar between bricks with fresh mortar. It's needed when mortar becomes soft, crumbly, or recessed more than 1/4 inch.

We do our best to source close matches and will show you options before proceeding.

Storm damage to chimneys is often covered. Gradual deterioration typically is not. We'll document storm damage clearly for your claim.
