Chimney Rebuild Above Roofline
When the section of chimney above the roof is spalling, leaning, or losing mortar while the stack below the roofline is sound, rebuilding from the roofline up is the right call — you replace the part weather destroyed and keep the part that is fine. We take it down course by course to sound masonry, rebuild in brick matched to the existing as closely as the market allows, lay it in the correct mortar type for those units, cut in new flashing, and finish with a poured crown and a new cap. Price moves with stack height above the roof, roof pitch and access, how close a brick match you want, and how far down the sound masonry actually starts — which we only know once we are on the roof.

What is it
What is chimney rebuild above roofline?
When the section of chimney above the roof is spalling, leaning, or losing mortar while the stack below the roofline is sound, rebuilding from the roofline up is the right call — you replace the part weather destroyed and keep the part that is fine. We take it down course by course to sound masonry, rebuild in brick matched to the existing as closely as the market allows, lay it in the correct mortar type for those units, cut in new flashing, and finish with a poured crown and a new cap. Price moves with stack height above the roof, roof pitch and access, how close a brick match you want, and how far down the sound masonry actually starts — which we only know once we are on the roof.
Every chimney rebuild above roofline includes:
- Course-by-course teardown to verified sound masonry
- Rebuild in matched brick with the correct mortar type for the units
- New step and counter-flashing cut into the roof
- Poured, overhanging crown and a new stainless cap
- Photo record of the sound-masonry line before the rebuild starts

FAQ
Common questions about chimney rebuild above roofline.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Prime Program membership?
Prime Program is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
