You’re dealing with crumbling mortar that’s letting water seep into places it shouldn’t be. Every storm makes it worse. Every freeze-thaw cycle creates new cracks.
Here’s what happens when we repoint your chimney properly. The water stops getting in. Your bricks stop shifting and loosening. You stop worrying about expensive emergency calls during the next big storm.
Most importantly, you get years of protection instead of temporary fixes that fail when you need them most. That’s what professional mortar joint repair actually delivers.
We’ve been handling exterior home improvements across Suffolk County for years. We’re not just chimney contractors – we’re full-service specialists who understand how your roof, siding, and chimney work together.
That means we spot problems other contractors miss. When we’re repointing your chimney, we’re also checking your flashing, examining your roofline, and making sure everything connects properly.
East Quogue homeowners choose us because we focus on residential work exclusively. No commercial distractions. No rushing between job sites. Just thorough, professional service for people who want their homes protected right.
First, we inspect your entire chimney structure to identify all the problem areas. Not just the obvious ones – the spots where water’s been sneaking in for months without you knowing.
Next, we carefully remove the deteriorated mortar without damaging your bricks. This takes skill and the right tools. Rush this step and you’ll have bigger problems than when you started.
Then we apply fresh, weather-resistant mortar that’s properly matched to your existing chimney. We’re talking about mortar that can handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and storm conditions.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll see exactly where the problems were and how we’ve solved them for the long term.

Our chimney repointing service includes complete mortar joint repair, not just patching the worst spots. We address tuckpointing needs, exterior chimney mortar renewal, and all the weathered joints that are letting water penetrate your masonry.
In East Quogue, we see the same patterns every year. Chimneys that face the ocean get hit harder by salt air. Properties with mature trees deal with more moisture retention. Homes built in certain decades have mortar that fails in predictable ways.
We factor all of this into our repointing approach. That’s why our repairs last longer and our customers don’t call us back with the same problems six months later. When you’re investing in professional masonry work, you want it done once and done right.
Brick chimney repointing cost depends on your chimney’s height, condition, and how much mortar needs replacement. Most East Quogue homeowners invest between $1,500 and $4,000 for complete repointing.
Partial repointing – just fixing the worst areas – typically runs $800 to $2,000. But here’s what matters more than the initial price: doing it right the first time versus needing emergency repairs later.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting. No surprises, no hidden costs, no pressure to add services you don’t need.
You need repointing when you see crumbling mortar, gaps between bricks, or white staining on your chimney exterior. Don’t wait until you have water damage inside your home.
The best time for repointing work is late spring through early fall when weather conditions are stable. We can work in cooler temperatures, but mortar cures better when it’s not freezing overnight.
If you’re seeing loose mortar falling from your chimney or notice moisture stains in your attic near the chimney, call us now. These problems get exponentially more expensive when you wait.
Most residential chimney repointing projects take 1-3 days depending on the chimney size and extent of mortar replacement needed. We don’t rush the curing process.
Day one is typically removal of old mortar and preparation. Day two involves applying new mortar and initial shaping. Day three covers final finishing and cleanup if needed.
Weather can extend the timeline since mortar needs proper curing conditions. We’d rather take an extra day than deliver work that fails in the first winter storm.
Repointing means removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar that matches your existing chimney. It’s structural repair that restores integrity and prevents water infiltration.
Tuckpointing is more detailed work where we create precise, decorative mortar lines for both function and appearance. It’s often used on historic chimneys or when you want enhanced curb appeal.
Both services address failing mortar joints, but tuckpointing includes additional aesthetic finishing. We’ll recommend the right approach based on your chimney’s condition and your goals.
Look for mortar that’s cracking, crumbling, or missing between bricks. You might see white staining (efflorescence) where water has been penetrating the masonry.
Check inside your home too. Water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney, musty odors, or visible moisture in the attic are warning signs that your mortar joints are failing.
The key is catching these problems before they become structural issues. A quick inspection can save you thousands in water damage repairs down the road.
Professional repointing solves most chimney leak issues when the problem is deteriorated mortar joints. However, leaks can also come from damaged flashing, cracked crowns, or missing chimney caps.
That’s why we inspect the entire chimney system before starting repointing work. If mortar failure is causing your leaks, proper repointing will stop the water infiltration permanently.
We guarantee our repointing work because we use quality materials and proven techniques. But we’ll be honest about any additional issues that need attention to completely solve your leak problems.
