This 1920s brick chimney had severe deterioration after nearly a century of Colorado weather. The homeowner wanted to preserve the home's historic character while ensuring the chimney would last another hundred years.
We carefully documented the original brick pattern and mortar color before beginning demolition. The tear-down revealed the flue liner had completely failed, which explained the moisture problems the homeowner had been experiencing.
The rebuild used reclaimed period-appropriate brick matched to the original, with a custom-mixed mortar to replicate the historic color. We installed a new stainless steel flue liner and modern crown to prevent future water intrusion.
