Repointing is the process of recessing the current mortar on your chimney to a workable depth and applying new mortar to strengthen the bond between bricks.

Rebuilding a chimney entails tearing down each row of brick to the roofline and starting fresh with new flashing, bricks, and mortar.

Capping a chimney involves forming and pouring a concrete crown to encase the flue liners, cover the brick, and prevent moisture from penetrating the interior of the chimney.
