A damaged chimney can mean anything from a minor mortar fix to a full rebuild—but how do you know which is right? At Galway Tuckpointing we take the time to inspect your chimney’s condition first, explain your options, and only recommend the work that’s truly necessary. No upselling. No vague advice. Just honest answers and lasting results.
Whether you need tuckpointing, brick replacement, a new chimney crown, or a full chimney rebuild, we help homeowners and commercial clients restore their chimneys safely—and beautifully.
Every Chimney Is Different. That’s Why We Start With Inspection.
Mortar Problems? Tuckpointing May Be Enough.
Many chimney issues begin with aging mortar. In these cases, tuckpointing might be all that’s required to stop water intrusion and strengthen the structure. We carefully remove failing mortar and replace it with a durable, color-matched joint.
Brick Damage or Structural Lean? Rebuilds May Be Needed.
If mortar has failed entirely or the bricks have started to shift, a partial or full chimney rebuild could be necessary. We’ll explain your options clearly and walk you through the condition of the brick, crown, and liner before work begins.
Crown, Cap, or Liner Issues? We Address It All.
Our team evaluates every part of your chimney—not just the bricks. From crowns and liners to chimney caps, we ensure all components are working safely and sealing properly.
We Offer Custom Chimney Work to Match Your Home
Not every chimney repair is about function alone. Many clients want their chimney to look as good as the rest of the home—and we agree! That’s why we offer custom solutions for color, material, and layout.
Brick Matching With Customer Sign-Off
Every brick we use for repairs or rebuilds is approved by the customer first. We take the time to match the size, shape, and color so your chimney blends seamlessly with the rest of your home’s exterior.
Colored Mortar Options Available
Want something other than plain gray mortar? Choose from charcoal, brown, red, or other hues to better match your property. Custom-colored mortar is especially popular for front-facing chimneys and historic restorations.
