The "Roof" of Your Chimney
The chimney crown is the most overlooked part of the entire structure, yet it is the most important for moisture protection. It is the flat (or sloped) surface at the very top that seals off the masonry. Most builders use a thin layer of mortar that cracks within a few years. We do things differently.

Drip Edges: Whenever possible, we build crowns with an "overhang." This ensures that when it rains, the water drips off the edge and hits the roof, rather than running down the face of your expensive brickwork.
Expansion Joints: We leave proper gaps around the flue liners so that when the heat expands the clay, it doesn't crack your new crown.
A cracked crown is a funnel for water. By investing in a proper crown today, you prevent the need for a total chimney rebuild tomorrow. We take the time to form and pour our crowns correctly, ensuring they remain the "umbrella" your chimney needs for years to come.
