Crumbling Chimneys, Rebuilt to LastChimney and masonry service for Eastchester, Scarsdale, Edgemont, New Rochelle and nearby towns
Most chimneys in Eastchester went up between the 1920s and the 1960s. After enough freeze and thaw, the top courses loosen, the crown cracks and moss holds water against the brick. Eastchester Chimney & Masonry takes those stacks back to solid brick and rebuilds them with a proper crown, cap and flashing. Slide through the before and after photos below, then call the dispatch line any time of day.

Before and after: two chimney rebuilds
Same chimney, same roof, before the crew arrived and after it left. Drag the yellow handle, or tab to it and use the arrow keys.
Full rebuild above the roof
Bricks had blown out of the face and the top was coming apart. We took it down to the roofline, relaid it with new brick, poured a crown and set a cap.

- New crown
- Cap & flashing
Moss, rot and a tired cap
Under a big oak, this chimney stayed damp all year and the brick was soft. It was rebuilt, given a stainless cap and new step flashing. The owner had the roof replaced at the same time.
- Shade-damaged brick
- Stainless cap
- Step flashing

Animals, birds & rain
Something living in the chimney?
Raccoons in spring
Mothers nest on the smoke shelf to have their young. We work with licensed wildlife removers, then cap the flue so they can't come back.
Chimney swifts & birds
Chimney swifts are a protected species, so active nests wait until fall. Caps go on after they migrate.
Rain down the flue
An uncapped flue lets in gallons of rain a year, rusting the damper and staining the firebox.
Leaves & debris
Big oaks and maples drop leaves into open flues. A screened cap keeps the flue clear for the first fire of the season.

On-the-way text
Roof and flue check
Times start at 1 Michael Frey Dr. The Hutch, I-95 and White Plains Road can add minutes, so dispatch gives the real ETA.
Scaffolding & lifts
Tall chimneys and bigger buildings
Churches, schools, older commercial buildings and three-story houses have stacks a ladder can't safely reach. We set up scaffolding or a lift so each course can be rebuilt by hand.
Full scaffold towers
Planked levels all the way up give a safe platform to strip and relay brick.
Course-by-course rebuilds
Loose brick taken down and relaid level, with original brick reused where it's sound.
Corbels & decorative tops
Stepped corbels and two-tone banding rebuilt to the original pattern.
Permits & insurance
Certificates for property managers and permits for sidewalk scaffolding handled.
Bricks loose high upUnreachable

Before the first fire
A fall check-up, step by step
Book in September or October to beat the cold-weather rush. Here's what a visit covers.
TOP
Roof & cap
Crown, cap, mesh and flashing checked from the roof with photos.
FLUE
Brush & camera
Creosote brushed out and the flue scanned for cracks or nests.
BOX
Firebox & damper
Firebrick, mortar joints and damper operation tested.
LIGHT
Ready to burn
We leave the room clean and tell you whether the fireplace is safe to use.
Can I reach you in the middle of the night?
You can. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours, so a chimney top shedding bricks, an animal stuck in a flue or water coming through the ceiling gets a callback and a plan right away. If you smell gas, see smoke where it shouldn't be or a CO alarm sounds, leave the house and phone 911 first.
How do I know if my chimney needs a rebuild instead of a repair?
Missing or loose bricks, a leaning top, or mortar you can scrape out with a key usually mean the upper section needs rebuilding. Hairline cracks and a few soft joints can often be repointed.
How long does a chimney rebuild take?
Most above-the-roof rebuilds take one to three days, depending on height and weather. Tall stacks needing scaffolding take longer.
There's an animal in my chimney. What should I do?
Keep the damper and fireplace doors closed and don't light a fire. Call us. We'll arrange humane removal and then cap the flue.
Will you match my existing brick?
We source brick close in color and size, and reuse sound original brick where possible so the rebuild blends in.
Do you work on churches and commercial buildings?
Yes, with scaffolding or lifts, insurance certificates and coordination with building managers.
Which towns do you cover?
Eastchester and Chester Heights, Tuckahoe, Bronxville, Scarsdale, Edgemont, Hartsdale, White Plains, New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mount Vernon, Pelham and Yonkers.
