Nashville's Masonry connects homeowners across Middle Tennessee with licensed, insured masons for chimney repair & rebuild. Estimates are free and written, the price is agreed before work starts, and the workmanship is backed in writing.
What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

Chimney Repair & Rebuild, in practice
Chimneys fail from the top down. A cracked crown lets water into the masonry, freeze-thaw does the rest, and by the time the brick is spalling the crown has been failing for years. A proper cast crown with an overhang and a drip edge is what prevents it.
Chimney flashing is where most chimney leaks actually are. Counter-flashing has to be let into a mortar joint and lapped over the step flashing — caulk smeared where the brick meets the roof is the standard cheap version and it fails every time.
