Our Masonry & Chimney Repair Specialties
We take pride in our masonry work and are committed to providing the most professional results, every time. We offer these specialty services:
Crown Repairs
The crown – or cement cover – that rests atop your chimney stack is vital for a healthy chimney. It functions to keep out moisture, debris, birds, and small animals from your chimney stack, season after season, year after year. Unfortunately, crowns can develop cracks or wear away over time, especially if they were not constructed of appropriate materials and to proper standards. If your crown is beginning to deteriorate, we can help. We provide expert repair and rebuild services to ensure your chimney remains dry and in good shape.
Tuckpointing
Whether your chimney is brick or stone, the mortar that binds these materials together plays a crucial role in maintaining the chimney’s strength and structural integrity. When these mortar joints begin to recede, crack, or crumble, whether due to weather, age, house settling, or other factors, the chimney’s safety and functionality are compromised. If your chimney stack is riddled with mortar damage, our team can provide seamless and clean tuckpointing work that will restore your chimney and leave it looking better than ever.
Chimney Rebuilds & Framing
From leaning chimneys and poorly constructed chimneys to chimneys damaged by fire, earthquakes, or strong storms, the experts at Chimney Doctors of Colorado handle it all. Our certified and experienced team can ensure your chimney is rebuilt to proper specifications and ready to vent your fireplace or stove safely and effectively.

We specialize in the construction and repair of chases, and we install durable chase covers to protect your chimney system year-round. Our expert craftsmanship ensures a visually appealing and functionally sound chase that enhances the aesthetics of your home while maximizing the efficiency of your chimney system.
Chimney Relining
Is your chimney experiencing excessive smoke, drafts, or even a bird infestation? These issues often indicate a damaged or deteriorating chimney liner. At Chimney Doctors of Colorado, we specialize in professional chimney relining services. Our expert technicians utilize the latest techniques and high-quality materials to restore the integrity of your chimney system. With proper relining, you can enjoy a more efficient and enjoyable fireplace experience, free from the concerns of smoke damage and potential hazards.

By preventing water damage, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your chimney, reduce the risk of costly repairs, and ensure years of enjoyable fireplace use.
What Are the Signs My Chimney Needs Repair?
Regular chimney inspections are vital for identifying hidden problems, but some warning signs may indicate your chimney requires immediate attention. Get in touch with our team if you see any of these common issues:
- Cracks in the masonry. Visible damage to bricks or mortar could weaken the chimney structure and lead to further deterioration.
- Efflorescence. A white, powdery substance on the masonry surface indicates water infiltration, which can cause extensive damage over time.
- Damaged or missing chimney cap. Without a proper cap, debris, water, and even animals can enter your chimney, causing blockages or other issues.
- Leaking or stained walls near the chimney. Moisture from the chimney can seep into nearby areas, causing water stains or damage.
- Poor draft or excessive smoke. A chimney that doesn’t vent properly could have obstructions, creosote buildup, or structural issues that need addressing.
- Strong odors from the fireplace. Unpleasant smells could result from creosote accumulation, moisture, or trapped debris.
Does Insurance Cover Chimney or Masonry Repairs?
Insurance coverage for chimney or masonry repairs often depends on the cause of the damage. Policies typically cover sudden and accidental damage, such as that caused by severe weather, chimney fires, or structural collapses. However, damage resulting from neglect, lack of maintenance, or gradual wear and tear may not be covered.
To determine coverage, review your homeowner’s insurance policy and consult your provider. It’s also helpful to document any damage with photos and detailed notes, as this can support your claim. Keep in mind that insurers may require proof of routine maintenance, such as annual chimney inspections or cleanings, to approve repair claims.
Chimney Doctors of Colorado provides comprehensive inspection reports that can serve as evidence for insurance claims. These detailed evaluations outline the condition of your chimney, highlight any damage, and provide recommendations for repairs. If you’re uncertain about coverage, our team can assist you with the information needed to streamline the claims process.
