The Importance of Chimney Masonry Repair
Brick chimneys not only add character to your home but also serve a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of your fireplace. Over time, weather exposure, age, and wear can lead to issues such as mortar deterioration, brick cracking, and structural instability. Addressing these issues through timely chimney masonry repair is vital for maintaining the integrity of your chimney and safeguarding your home against potential hazards.

Chimney masonry repair is an on-going maintenance request for all home owners and property managers. Loose bricks and safety related issues are common with aging home and buildings! We recommend that you have one of our qualified chimney technicians inspect your home’s chimneys annually to prevent costly repairs down the road.
At Midtown Chimney, we offer brick repair and replacement, tuckpointing services, and full water protection.
What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing, or repointing, is the process of removing and replacing any damaged or missing mortar joints on the exterior of your chimney. Not only does is help the look of your chimney, it helps with water intrusion and creating further damage to the structure over time.
We fix Leaky Chimneys by addressing the three main points of water entry:
- Chimney crowns
- Deteriorated bricks of the chimney
- The roof flashing

They sent over Levi Bruckelmyer to help us out. What a great experience it was working with him! As I suspected, our fireplace and chimney were in bad shape. After cleaning and inspecting he told us that it would not be safe to use it anymore. He went through lots of options for us in order for us to use it again; total restoration (our home and chimney are stone, so that would have been quite a job!), different styles of inserts, price points, etc.
We gave him a call back a couple of moths later when we were ready to have him install a steel insert. He helped us pick out just the right one for price and look.
Then, OOF! We encountered some road bumps because of how our fireplace had been built. He kept coming back friendly, timely, persistent, and committed until we finally had gotten all of the ducks in a row to get it working.
He was so professional and kind. It was very clear that he personally cared about our installation and put everything he had into getting that thing in there! It's obvious that this is his vocation and it really shows in his quality of service.
I happily recommend MTCS. Especially Levi. Even with my fireplace being a pain, the experience was great. I wouldn't want to have gone through that process with anyone else!
he's very knowledgeable and professional. highly recommend
I very much appreciate his honesty and help!

I had an outstanding experience with Marcus! From start to finish, his professionalism and expertise were top-notch. He arrived on time, was extremely courteous, and took great care to keep my home clean while thoroughly sweeping the chimney. He also performed a detailed inspection and provided helpful maintenance tips to keep everything in top shape. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a chimney sweep! Will definitely be using them again in the future.
Really impressed with the beautiful and efficient stoves they sell as well: the one pictured is just amazing!
