Expert Chimney Repair Services

Professional chimney repairs addressing Minnesota's unique weather challenges with lasting solutions.

Minnesota's brutal winters and dramatic temperature swings create some of the most challenging conditions for chimney systems in the country. Our expert repair services address the full spectrum of weather-related damage that affects Twin Cities homes.

Freeze-thaw cycles are Minnesota's #1 chimney enemy. When water penetrates masonry and freezes, it expands with tremendous force, cracking mortar joints, damaging bricks, and compromising structural integrity. This seasonal cycle repeats endlessly, accelerating deterioration far beyond national averages.

Our repair expertise includes:
- Masonry restoration and repointing
- Crown and cap repairs/replacement
- Flue liner installation and repair
- Damper replacement and adjustment
- Structural reinforcement
- Waterproofing and sealing
- Emergency leak repairs

We use Minnesota-appropriate materials designed to withstand extreme temperature variations, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy snow loads. All repairs come with comprehensive warranties and are performed by licensed, insured professionals.

Common repairs in our region include spalling brick replacement, mortar joint restoration, crown rebuilding, and flashing repairs. We prioritize safety-critical repairs while helping homeowners budget for long-term maintenance needs.
