Chimney Repair & Maintenance in Sheboygan, WI
(207) 900-3086This is our main line of work. Most chimneys in Sheboygan, WI take a beating every winter. Snow melts, refreezes, and pushes into any crack it can find. Left alone, small cracks become big ones — and big ones become a chimney that needs to be rebuilt instead of repaired.
We repair the parts of the chimney that fail most often here: the crown, the mortar joints between bricks, the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and the flue liner inside. We also handle chimney caps, dampers, and waterproofing.
Maintenance is cheaper than replacement. Catching a cracked crown or a few bad mortar joints early can save you from a full rebuild a few years down the line.

Repairs Built to Last a Wisconsin Winter
We don't patch and hope. Every repair uses materials and methods sized for freeze-thaw cycles, so the fix holds up past one season.
What We Repair
Chimney Crown Repair & Replacement
The crown sheds water off the top of the chimney. Cracks here let water straight into the masonry below.
Tuckpointing & Mortar Repair
We remove damaged mortar and repack the joints so water can't get behind the brick.
Brick & Masonry Repair
Cracked, spalling, or loose brick gets replaced or rebuilt section by section.
Flashing Repair
The metal seal where your chimney meets the roofline. Bad flashing is one of the most common causes of ceiling leaks near a chimney.
Flue Liner Repair
A cracked or damaged liner is a fire and carbon monoxide risk. We inspect and repair or reline as needed.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Keeps rain, snow, and animals out of the flue.
Damper Repair & Replacement
A damper that won't seal lets heat escape and cold air in.
Waterproofing
A water-repellent sealant applied to masonry to slow down freeze-thaw damage.

Why Repair Instead of Rebuild
Lower Cost
Catching problems early is almost always cheaper than a full rebuild.
Extends Chimney Life
Proper mortar and crown repair can add years to a chimney's service life.
Prevents Water Damage Inside Your Home
A sealed, repaired chimney stops leaks before they reach your walls and ceiling.
What Happens If You Wait
Once the crown or mortar cracks, water has a way in — and it doesn't stop. Every freeze-thaw cycle pushes the crack wider, so a hairline crack this winter is a bigger one by spring.
A few bad mortar joints caught early is a tuckpointing job. Left alone, the brick around them starts to spall and loosen too, and what would've been a day of tuckpointing becomes a partial rebuild.
Catching a cracked crown or a section of bad mortar early is one of the cheapest chimney repairs there is. A full rebuild, once it gets to that point, isn't.
A chimney that's leaning or has deteriorated masonry isn't just a repair issue anymore — it's a structural one. That's a bigger, more expensive job than catching the same chimney a year or two earlier.
