Your chimney is kinda falling apart. Bricks crumbling. Mortar cracking. Water leaking into your house every time it rains. And winter’s coming fast. Not good.
At Flint Masonry, we fix broken chimneys that other guys are scared to touch. Been doing it for over 25 years. Your chimney problems? They end here.
Why Your Chimney Is Basically Screaming for Help Right Now
Most homeowners ignore their chimney until something bad happens. Big mistake. By then, small fixable problems turn into expensive nightmares.
Here’s what we see every day in Flint:
- Crumbling mortar joints letting water seep inside
- Cracked chimney caps causing moisture damage
- Leaning chimneys that could literally fall on your car
- Spalling bricks that drop chunks in your yard
- Blocked flues that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning
Ignoring these problems? That’s how $500 repairs turn into $5,000 rebuilds. Not smart.
Flint’s Most Trusted Chimney Repair and Restoration Experts
We’re not those fly-by-night “masonry contractors” who learned on YouTube last week. Flint Masonry brings serious experience to every chimney we fix.
Our approach is simple:
- We show up when we say we will
- We fix it right the first time
- We clean up after ourselves
- We charge what we quote – no surprise bills
Here’s the deal: Your chimney is basically the most exposed part of your house. It takes beatings from rain, snow, wind, and extreme temperatures year after year. Michigan weather is brutal on masonry. We know exactly how to make repairs that actually last in our climate.
Chimney Problems We Fix Every Day in Flint
Chimney Rebuilds
When things are really bad, sometimes partial or complete rebuilds are necessary. We match your existing brick perfectly. Your neighbors won’t even know it was rebuilt.
Tuckpointing and Repointing
Mortar joints deteriorating? We remove the damaged mortar and replace it with fresh mortar that matches the original color. Stops water damage dead in its tracks.
Chimney Crown Repair
That concrete cap on top of your chimney? It’s probably cracked. We repair or replace chimney crowns to prevent water from getting inside the structure.
Flashing Repair
The metal that seals the gap between your roof and chimney is critical. When it fails, water leaks into your attic. We install proper flashing that actually works.
Brick Replacement
Spalling, cracked, or missing bricks aren’t just ugly – they’re dangerous. We replace damaged bricks to match your existing masonry.
Waterproofing
After repairs, we apply professional-grade waterproofing treatments that prevent future water damage.
Why Hiring Cheap Chimney “Experts” Is a Terrible Idea
Look, we get it. You want to save money. But here’s the truth about those super cheap chimney offers you see online:
- They use garbage materials that fail within months
- They don’t understand proper waterproofing techniques
- They slap mortar on without removing damaged material first
- They disappear when problems start showing up
- They don’t carry proper insurance when they fall off your roof
The hard truth: Fixing a botched chimney repair costs WAY more than doing it right the first time.

Look What Happens When You Ignore Chimney Problems
We see it all the time. People wait too long. Then disaster strikes:
- Water damage destroys ceilings and walls (thousands to repair)
