The crown is your chimney's first defense, and in Bothell's wet valley it's the first thing to fail. We re-cast cracked crowns, tuckpoint failing mortar joints, and waterproof the masonry so freeze-thaw stops splitting your brick apart over winter.
For chimneys that have gone too far, we rebuild from the roofline up with materials rated for our climate. Caught early, most Bothell crowns just need sealing — which is why our inspections matter.

Chimney & Crown Repair — your questions
Why do Bothell chimney crowns crack so often?
Constant moisture from the river valley soaks the concrete crown, then freeze-thaw cycles expand it and crack it. Sealing early prevents the spread.
Can you match my home's brick?
Yes. For repairs on older Norway Hill and downtown homes we source brick and tint mortar to blend with the original masonry.
How long does a crown repair take?
A crown re-seal is usually a single appointment. A full crown re-cast or partial rebuild can take a day or two depending on access and weather.
