Seeing Any of These Chimney Problems?
Small chimney problems can turn into expensive water and masonry damage when the source is not addressed correctly.
Crumbling Mortar
Open or deteriorated mortar joints allow more moisture into the chimney and weaken the masonry over time.
Spalling or Broken Brick
Brick faces that are cracking, flaking or breaking apart are often signs of repeated moisture and freeze-thaw damage.
Cracked Chimney Crown
Cracks at the top of the chimney can allow water to penetrate directly into the masonry system.
Rusted or Failed Flashing
Improper or deteriorated flashing is one of the most common sources of chimney-related leaks.
Leaning or Severely Damaged Chimney
Advanced deterioration may require structural repair, partial rebuilding or complete reconstruction.
Not sure what the problem is?
Focused chimney expertise
Complete Chimney Repair & Restoration
From a focused mortar repair to a full rebuild, the recommendation starts with what your chimney actually needs.
Chimney Repointing
Deteriorated mortar is removed, joints are cleaned and properly repointed with suitable mortar.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Step flashing, counter flashing and transitions are assessed. Caulk alone is not a chimney flashing system.
Chimney Crown Repair
Cracked or deteriorated crowns are repaired or rebuilt to help reduce water entry.
Chimney Waterproofing
Breathable masonry waterproofing can reduce absorption while allowing trapped vapor to escape.
Chimney Cap Installation
A properly fitted cap helps protect the chimney from rain, debris and animal entry.
Chimney Leak Repair
We investigate the actual water pathway before recommending a repair.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
For deterioration isolated to the upper portion of a chimney.
Full Chimney Rebuild
For severe structural or widespread masonry deterioration.
Diagnosis before the quote
We Diagnose the Problem Before We Recommend the Repair.
A leaking chimney does not automatically need to be rebuilt. Cracked mortar does not always mean the entire chimney has failed. Our first job is to determine where the problem actually starts.

Built for local conditions
Why New Jersey Chimneys Take a Beating
Chimney masonry faces rain, snow, freezing temperatures, thawing and constant seasonal changes. Moisture can enter brick and mortar. When that moisture freezes, it expands. Repeated cycles can contribute to open joints, flaking brick and crown damage over time.
Our team understands these local conditions and looks for the pathways that let water into the chimney system.

Why Homeowners Call Best Choice GC
Diagnosis Before the Quote
We inspect the crown, cap, mortar, masonry, flashing and visible water pathways before recommending a repair.
Correct Masonry Methods
We focus on proper joint preparation, compatible materials and long-term repair methods instead of cosmetic surface patches.
Proper Chimney Flashing
Step flashing, counter flashing and other transition details need to work together. We address the system, not just the visible leak.
