Partial Chimney Rebuild
Taken down to sound masonry and rebuilt from there — no further than the condition needs.

A rebuild becomes worth considering when damage is widespread enough that repeated spot repairs no longer make financial or structural sense. ABC Chimney Solutions compares the cost and long-term value of repairing the existing chimney with rebuilding the damaged section, and sometimes a rebuild is surprisingly close in price to a long list of individual repairs.

What Rebuild & Construction actually involves
A rebuild becomes worth considering when damage is widespread enough that repeated spot repairs no longer make financial or structural sense. ABC Chimney Solutions compares the cost and long-term value of repairing the existing chimney with rebuilding the damaged section, and sometimes a rebuild is surprisingly close in price to a long list of individual repairs.
No fixed rebuild height
ABC Chimney Solutions does not automatically rebuild every chimney to the roofline or use one standard cutoff point. The brick, mortar, stability, water damage and overall structure determine how far the chimney should be dismantled before sound construction is reached.
Preserve the look when possible
The team makes a strong effort to match existing brick color, texture, bonding pattern and proportions. Very old brick may no longer be manufactured, in which case ABC Chimney Solutions uses the closest suitable match that is practical. If the original design or material choice caused the failure, the rebuilt section can be corrected rather than repeating the old mistake.
Any scale of construction
ABC Chimney Solutions can rebuild exterior sections, complete tall chimneys and full masonry chimneys starting at the foundation or footing when the project requires it.

Questions & Answers
Rebuild & Construction — frequently asked
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about rebuild & construction in Connecticut.
How do you decide between chimney repair and a rebuild?
ABC Chimney Solutions compares the extent of the damage, stability, water exposure and cost of multiple repairs with the cost and long-term value of rebuilding the affected section. Learn more about this service.
Do you only rebuild chimneys above the roofline?
No. ABC Chimney Solutions can rebuild a chimney at the height required by the actual project, including complete construction from the foundation when necessary. Learn more about this service.
Can you match old brick during a rebuild?
ABC Chimney Solutions makes a strong effort to match the existing brick, mortar and appearance. When an old brick is no longer available, the closest suitable match is selected to minimize the visual difference. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by no fixed rebuild height?
ABC Chimney Solutions does not automatically rebuild every chimney to the roofline or use one standard cutoff point. The brick, mortar, stability, water damage and overall structure determine how far the chimney should be dismantled before sound construction is reached. Learn more about this service.

The team makes a strong effort to match existing brick color, texture, bonding pattern and proportions. Very old brick may no longer be manufactured, in which case ABC Chimney Solutions uses the closest suitable match that is practical.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by any scale of construction?
ABC Chimney Solutions can rebuild exterior sections, complete tall chimneys and full masonry chimneys starting at the foundation or footing when the project requires it. Learn more about this service.
When does a chimney need rebuilding rather than repairing?
When the deterioration runs through the masonry rather than sitting on its surface. ABC Chimney Solutions rebuilds where repointing and patching would be repeated every few years, and repairs where sound masonry supports the fix. Learn more about this service.
What is a partial rebuild?
The chimney is taken down to sound masonry and rebuilt from there, usually above the roofline. The cutoff point is set by the condition of the material, not by a standard height. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at rebuild & construction. Learn more about this service.
How long does a chimney rebuild take?
It depends on the size of the stack, the access, and the weather, because masonry needs conditions that let it cure. ABC Chimney Solutions will set out a realistic sequence before starting rather than a best case. Learn more about this service.
Can a chimney be rebuilt in winter?
Masonry work needs temperatures that allow proper curing, so ABC Chimney Solutions will say when a rebuild should wait. Making a deteriorated stack safe in the meantime is a separate and usually quicker job. Learn more about this service.
Will the rebuilt chimney look like the original?
That is the intention on older houses. ABC Chimney Solutions matches brick, bond and mortar as closely as available materials allow, which matters more on historic masonry than on a modern stack. Learn more about this service.
Do you rebuild the crown and fit a cap as part of the work?
A rebuild is finished with a crown built to shed water and an overhang, and capped, because rebuilding masonry and leaving the same water path open is how the new work fails early. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book rebuild & construction. Learn more about this service.
Is the fireplace usable during a rebuild?
Generally not while the flue is open to the work. ABC Chimney Solutions will tell you what is out of use and for roughly how long before the job starts. Learn more about this service.
Do you build chimneys for new construction?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions builds complete chimneys from the foundation to the cap for a fireplace, stove or heating appliance, designed around the appliance that will actually be connected to it. Learn more about this service.
What happens to the roof where the chimney passes through?
The roof opening and the flashing detail are part of the job. A rebuilt stack with the old flashing put back is a leak waiting to happen, which is why the two are handled together. This is part of what ABC Chimney Solutions checks before quoting rebuild & construction. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews from the towns we work in
Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.
The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
