What we look for on Sierra Madre chimneys

Sierra Madre has a strong preservation ethic, and many homes still have original masonry chimneys from the early 1900s. That is the kind of work we like best. Old patches often used hard gray mortar that does not match the softer original. We cut those patches out, match the old color and texture, and repoint so the stack reads as one piece again. Where bricks have spalled, we look for salvaged brick of the same size and tone. A cracked liner gets relined, not the whole chimney rebuilt. The aim is a chimney that is safe to use and still looks like it belongs to the house. The city sits directly against the mountains, and the 2008 Sierra Madre Fire burned within city limits. Spark arrestors are required on chimneys here, and we fit or repair one on every flue we restore. The top courses of an old stack also take the most weather. We check them closely for loose brick and open joints on each visit, since that is where water gets in first.

The Masonry

Our Sierra Madre work centers on early 1900s brick chimneys, cottage fireplaces and flues that have been patched more than once.
