Chimney Repointing
We remove deteriorated mortar to the proper depth, clean the joints, and repoint using mortar suited for exterior chimney exposure. Proper joint preparation restores strength and helps reduce water entry.
Flashing Repair & Replacement
Chimney flashing is one of the most common roof leak sources. We repair or replace step flashing, counter flashing, and saddle flashing where needed, integrating the system correctly with both the roof and masonry.
Crown Repair & Waterproofing
A cracked chimney crown allows water to enter from the top down. We repair or rebuild damaged crowns and apply breathable masonry waterproofing where appropriate to help protect the chimney from future absorption.
// We Restore & Protect Damaged Chimney Systems
Most chimney damage in New Jersey begins with moisture. Rain, snow, ice, and freeze–thaw cycles can break down mortar joints, loosen brick, crack crowns, and open gaps around flashing.
That is why proper diagnosis matters. A ceiling stain near the fireplace does not always mean the leak is directly above the stain. Water may enter at the crown, cap, flashing, masonry joints, or roof-to-chimney transition before traveling to another area.
We inspect the cap, crown, brick, mortar joints, flashing, roof connection, and visible interior signs before recommending a repair. The goal is to solve the cause of the problem — not cover the symptom.
Why Best Choice GC
// Why Nj Homeowners Trust Our Chimney Work
We Diagnose Before We Quote
We inspect the crown, cap, mortar joints, flashing, masonry, and visible water pathways before recommending repair.
We Use Correct Masonry Methods
Exterior chimney work requires proper joint preparation, mortar selection, and finishing. We do not rely on surface patches that fail after the next freeze–thaw cycle.
We Flash the Chimney Correctly
Step flashing, counter flashing, and saddle flashing must work together. Caulk alone is not a flashing system.
We Explain What Matters Now
You get a clear written scope that separates urgent repairs from items that can be monitored. No inflated repair list. No vague recommendations.
