- Clean • Safe • Reliable • Done Right
The crown is your chimney’s first line of defense against weather. A cracked or missing crown lets water into the masonry – accelerating decay from the top down. We repair and rebuild crowns to last.
Most of the water damage you see on a chimney – spalled bricks, failed mortar, interior staining, even chimney leaks inside the house – starts at the crown. When the crown cracks, every rainstorm sends water straight into the heart of the masonry, where it freezes, expands, and breaks the brick from within.
Fixing the crown is almost always the most important single step you can take to protect the chimney. It’s a small repair relative to the structure, but its failure causes cascading damage that’s exponentially more expensive to fix.
We treat your home like our own – careful, clean, and respectful, especially around kids, seniors, and pets.
Fully credentialed technicians on every job.

The crown is the concrete slab at the very top of your chimney. It acts as a roof, shedding rainwater away from the bricks and structure.
Yes. Small cracks can be sealed with a specialized waterproof coating. If the crown is completely broken or crumbling, it must be rebuilt.
Water will seep into the cracks, freeze, expand, and cause severe masonry damage and leaks inside your ceilings and walls.
Crown repair rebuilds or seals the concrete slab on top of the chimney to stop water getting into the masonry below and causing leaks and freeze-thaw damage — for homes across Greater Boston. Call (781) 782-8727.
