Chimney Repair & Repointing in New Jersey

At First Rate Roofing and Chimney, we specialize in repairing and repointing chimneys to restore structural integrity, safety, and appearance. Over time, weather, moisture, and general wear can cause mortar joints to deteriorate, bricks to loosen, and surfaces to crack. Without proper maintenance, these issues can lead to serious damage and costly repairs.

Repair and Maintenance

Our chimney repair services address all types of damage, including cracks, loose bricks, and mortar erosion. We carefully inspect your chimney to identify weak points and provide tailored solutions that ensure lasting results. Proper maintenance and timely repairs help extend the life of your chimney while improving safety and efficiency.

Repointing Services

Repointing is a vital process in which damaged or deteriorated mortar is removed and replaced with a high-quality, weather-resistant mortar. Our team uses Type N mortar, which is sulfate-resistant and highly durable. Repointing strengthens the chimney, prevents water infiltration, and restores its original structural stability.

Materials We Use

• Clay and Calcium Silicate Bricks: Durable, frost-resistant, and long-lasting masonry materials.

• Mortar: Type N, weatherproof, and resistant to corrosion for superior bonding.

• Flashing: High-quality, corrosion-resistant metal to prevent leaks at roof intersections.

• Stainless Steel: For interior liners and chimney caps, providing durability and safety.
