Chimney Rebuilding & Tuckpointing in Monsey & 30 miles around
When repointing is not enough, we take it down and build it back right.
What this service actually is
There is a point where a chimney stops being repairable. Mortar has washed out, brick faces are gone, the stack has taken on a lean. At that stage a rebuild is not the upsell — it is the only fix that is not a temporary one. We rebuild from the roofline or from the ground, matched to the house.
What you get
- Partial rebuilds from the roofline up — the most common and most affordable option
- Full rebuilds when damage runs below the roofline
- Historic brick matching for older Nyack, Piermont and Tarrytown homes
- New crown, flashing, liner and cap included in the scope where needed
- Site protection and daily cleanup — your roof and lawn get treated like ours
How we do it
1. Document and quote
Photos of every face, a written scope listing exactly what comes down and what goes back, and a flat price.
2. Careful demolition
Roof protection down first, masonry removed by hand rather than dropped, debris chuted and hauled the same day.
3. Rebuild to spec
Matched brick, correct mortar, new liner if required, proper crown with overhang, new flashing, cap, and a breathable sealer to finish.
Signs you need chimney rebuilding
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call. There is no charge to ask.
- The stack visibly leans or has a bow in it
- Mortar joints are gone — you can see gaps straight through
- More than a third of the brick faces are spalled or missing
- Repointing has already been done once and failed
- A structural engineer or home inspector flagged the chimney
What it costs
Chimney Rebuilding & Tuckpointing typically runs $2,500 – $9,500 for a standard single-family home in our service area, and takes about 2–5 days. The variables that move that number are roof access, flue height, how many flues share the stack, and condition.

“Needed a report for a closing in four days. They came out in 48 hours and emailed the report with photos that night. Our attorney said it was the clearest one he had seen.”
Why homeowners pick Hero
We are a family company working out of Monsey, not a national franchise routing your call to a dispatcher three states away. That means the person who quotes your job is on the roof doing it, the price does not change halfway through, and if something is not right afterward we are twenty minutes away.
Every visit includes photo documentation. Every recommendation comes with an explanation of what happens if you wait, so you can make the call on your own timeline instead of ours.
Chimney Rebuilding — common questions
Roofline rebuild vs. full rebuild — how do I know?
If the masonry below the roof is sound and the damage is all in the exposed section above it, a roofline rebuild is correct and typically half the cost. We show you photos from both sides before recommending anything.
How long will my house be a construction site?
A roofline rebuild is usually two to three days. A full rebuild runs three to five. We clean up every evening.
Can you match my old brick?
Usually yes. Between salvage sources and current manufacturers we can get very close on size, color and texture — and we will show you a sample before ordering.
Do I need a permit?
Municipal requirements vary across Rockland, Orange, Westchester, Bergen and Passaic. We tell you up front what your town requires and handle the filing when one is needed.
