 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with this company. The chimney came out square, solid, and looks beautiful. The crew had excellent communication throughout the job, showed up as promised, and cleaned everything up when they were done. You can tell they take pride in their work and did the best job possible. I’m very satisfied and would definitely use them again. Marc M. Quakertown Pennsylvania

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my chimney repointed due to a water leak. The completed work looks like my chimney is new. Also, there is no more water intrusion. Great group of people to work with! Awesome communication (very quick response in emails, or texts), and they were very helpful answering all my questions/concerns. In the future I will be using them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Q & E were very responsive from the quote to the end of the project. I knew when the crew was arriving and the guys even stayed late to get the work done. All of my questions were answered quickly and I even received pics of the repaired chimney crown that’s not visible from the ground. I definitely recommend!!!

How We Work

No shortcuts, no guesswork.

Roof-Level Inspection

We get on the roof, photograph every defect, and show you exactly what's happening — no guessing from the ground.

Written Scope & Estimate

Line-item estimate with materials, labor, timeline, and warranty terms. No surprises, no change orders.

Precision Execution

Scaffolding goes up. Old masonry comes down. New work goes in — brick by brick, joint by joint, to code.

Final Walkthrough

We clean up everything, walk you through the work, and hand over a written warranty before you pay.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

How do I know if my chimney needs a rebuild vs. repointing?

If more than 30% of the mortar joints are deteriorated, or if bricks are spalling/crumbling, a rebuild is usually more cost-effective than patching. We'll assess and give you an honest recommendation.

How long does a chimney rebuild take?

3–5 days for a standard above-roofline rebuild, depending on height, weather, and whether the flue liner also needs replacement.

Do you match existing brick?

Yes. We source matching brick by manufacturer, color, and size. For historic homes, we can source reclaimed brick from the same era.

Is chimney work covered by homeowner's insurance?

Storm damage and sudden events are often covered. Normal wear and deterioration typically are not. We can provide documentation for your claim.

Do I need a permit for chimney work?

In Bucks and Montgomery counties, structural chimney work requires a building permit. We handle all permitting as part of the project.
