Chimney Crown Repair

Chimney Crown Replacement: This old chimney in Bethesda, Maryland was in pretty bad shape when we arrived.  The home-made DIY chimney caps weren't much to look at either, so we installed some newer up-to-date units (below).

New High Density Mortar Chimney Crown: After carefully chipping away the old mortar crown, we mixed and skillfully applied the new crown mortar . . .

. . . gently sloping the new material away from the flu liners so that water can run off properly . . .

. . . and the result is a beautifully restored chimney with new caps, mortar, and flashings.  Very nice!  Restoring the chimney crown is one of the most important AND most overlooked detail of a truly professional roof job.
