Tacoma's old brick chimneys are our bread and butter. Soft historic mortar, salt air off Commencement Bay, and decades of freeze-thaw leave crowns cracked and joints crumbling. We rebuild and repoint using mortar matched to the original — important for keeping a historic home's character intact.
From a simple crown seal to a full above-roofline rebuild, we waterproof everything to handle Tacoma's rain belt. Done before winter, these repairs stop the water damage that otherwise compounds every freezing night.

Chimney & Crown Repair — your questions
My old chimney is leaning — can it be saved?
Often yes. We assess the structure and rebuild the damaged section, frequently above the roofline, rather than tearing the whole thing down.
Do you match historic mortar and brick?
Yes. We use lime-based mortar matched to original historic mixes and source matching brick so repairs respect the home's era.
How long does a crown repair last?
A properly rebuilt and waterproofed crown lasts decades. We seal against Tacoma's heavy rain and freeze-thaw to maximize its life.
