Chimneys
Regular checks and repairs of the chimney’s bricks, mortar, crown, and flashing, as well as installation of a cap, will help ensure that it has a long life. The crown and cap prevent water from entering the top of the chimney, while flashing prevents leaks where it meets the roof. Even with proper maintenance, however, the chimney itself can fail, as can the flue liner. This requires professional attention.

Exterior Stone Work
We treat historic stone structures by considering leaks, deterioration, and past repair work as well as the type of stone used. We then determine why damage is happening and prepare an appropriate restoration program. With thoughtful design and skillful execution, our restoration preserves architecturally and culturally significant details, while reestablishing the resiliency that has enabled the historic stone to last through the years.
