Safe, Stylish, and Structurally Sound
A chimney isn’t just a design feature—it’s a critical part of your home’s safety system.
Over time, weather, settling, and wear can cause your chimney to deteriorate, lean, or crack. And when that happens, it’s not just an eyesore—it’s a potential hazard.
At Premier Custom Masonry, we specialize in chimney construction, repair, and restoration for homes throughout Gloucester, the Middle Peninsula, and Hampton Roads. Whether you need a new chimney built from the ground up or repairs to an existing one, we’ll make sure it’s both safe and beautiful.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Attention
Not sure if your chimney needs repairs?
Here's what to look for:
-
Cracked or missing mortar between bricks
-
Spalling or crumbling brickwork
-
A leaning or tilting chimney stack
-
Water stains inside the home or on chimney exterior
-
Gaps at the flashing or roofline
-
Poor draft or smoke issues
Left alone, these issues can lead to bigger problems—from moisture damage to fire hazards.
