Chimney work above flat and low-pitch roofs
Many Skokie roofs put chimneys in the path of wind-driven ice. We rebuild crowns, renew flashings, and repoint stacks so interior ceilings stop staining after freeze events—and flues stay usable when families want the fireplace again.
Our process
- 1 We begin with a thorough, truthful evaluation Deteriorating mortar near the roofline, rust stains, or a damp spot by the fireplace—these are signs your chimney needs care. Positioned above the roof, it bears the brunt of storms from every direction. We will climb up, inspect it properly, and explain our findings step by step.
- 2 We rebuild the components that keep moisture out The crown—that concrete slab on top—often cracks first, and once water enters, our area's freeze-thaw cycles take over. We reconstruct crowns with a correct overhang, replace the flashing, and install a durable cap. It's the kind of silent protection ylocal crews can rely on without a second thought.
- 3 We won't consider the job complete until it's family-safe A compromised chimney can allow smoke or carbon monoxide into living areas, and we take that risk seriously. Before we declare any project finished, we verify the flue is secure. You will receive a clear answer about whether your fireplace is safe and ready for enjoyment.
