Full Chimney Rebuild in Connecticut
When deterioration, original construction problems or structural condition make smaller repairs a poor investment, ABC Chimney Solutions can rebuild the chimney completely. The company can work from the foundation or lower structure to the top and can perform high-elevation masonry work when the project requires it.
Correct old problems instead of copying them
Some older chimneys were built with masonry products that were not well suited for decades of exterior exposure, or with details that repeatedly allowed water into the structure. ABC Chimney Solutions preserves the original look when practical but does not intentionally reproduce a construction detail that caused the failure.
A complete system, not just brick
Depending on the project, a full rebuild can include the chimney structure, flue or liner components, crown, flashing, cap and related connections. The actual components are specified from the system rather than sold as a one-size-fits-all package.

Structural Inclusions
Also part of Rebuild & Construction
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.
Masonry Restoration
Spalled brick cut out and replaced, with mortar matched for color and joint profile.

Questions & Answers
Full Chimney Rebuild — frequently asked
What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about full chimney rebuild.
Can you rebuild a chimney from the ground up?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can construct or reconstruct a masonry chimney from its footing or foundation through the upper masonry, flue system and top components when the project requires that scope. Learn more about this service.
Will the rebuilt chimney look like the original?
ABC Chimney Solutions makes a strong effort to preserve the original shape, proportions and masonry appearance while correcting construction details or materials that contributed to the old chimney's failure. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by correct old problems instead of copying them?
Some older chimneys were built with masonry products that were not well suited for decades of exterior exposure, or with details that repeatedly allowed water into the structure. ABC Chimney Solutions preserves the original look when practical but does not intentionally reproduce a construction detail that caused the failure. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by a complete system, not just brick?
ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every job. Depending on the project, a full rebuild can include the chimney structure, flue or liner components, crown, flashing, cap and related connections. The actual components are specified from the system rather than sold as a one-size-fits-all package. Learn more about this service.
When is a full rebuild the honest answer?
When deterioration runs through the stack rather than sitting above the roof, so a partial rebuild would leave failing masonry underneath the new work. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every full chimney rebuild job it takes on. Learn more about this service.
Does a full rebuild include the part inside the house?
It can, and that is what distinguishes it from a partial rebuild. How far down the work goes is set by where sound masonry begins. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at full chimney rebuild. Learn more about this service.
How disruptive is a full rebuild?
More than a partial one, because it involves the structure inside the building as well as above it. ABC Chimney Solutions sets out the sequence before starting. Learn more about this service.
Will the chimney need a new liner?
Usually, because the conditions that destroyed the masonry have generally affected the flue too, and a rebuilt chimney is the right moment to size the liner for the appliance. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every full chimney rebuild job it takes on. Learn more about this service.
Can the chimney be rebuilt differently from the original?
Where the structure allows, yes. A rebuild is an opportunity to correct height, flue size or a crown detail that was wrong from the start. This is part of what ABC Chimney Solutions checks before quoting full chimney rebuild. Learn more about this service.
Is a rebuild better value than repeated repairs?
Where the masonry keeps failing, yes. Repointing and patching a stack that is deteriorating throughout is money spent on the same problem every few years. This is part of what ABC Chimney Solutions checks before quoting full chimney rebuild. 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 full chimney rebuild. 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.
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 full chimney rebuild. 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.
