Modern Exterior provides chimney repair services for homeowners in Milwaukee. Our team repairs common chimney issues that affect safety, performance, and the exterior appearance of the home. Chimneys often develop problems such as water damage, deteriorated mortar, and wear near the roofline, and our team repairs these issues at their source.
Over time, exposure from rain, snow, wind, and temperature changes can break down masonry materials and create leaks or structural problems. Some of the most common chimney issues include:
Cracked mortar joints
Mortar wears down over time and creates gaps between the bricks. This allows water to enter the chimney structure.
Loose or damaged bricks
Bricks can crack, shift, or begin to separate after years of weather exposure.
Chimney crown damage
A cracked crown allows water to enter from the top of the chimney and spread into the masonry below.
Chimney cap problems
A missing or damaged cap can allow rain, debris, and animals into the chimney.
Flashing leaks
The metal flashing where the chimney meets the roof can fail and cause leaks around the base of the chimney.
Water intrusion
Water stains, interior moisture, and exterior deterioration are often signs that the chimney is no longer sealed properly.
Our Chimney Services
Modern Exterior provides chimney repair services that address both visible damage and the underlying cause of the problem. Our chimney services include:
Chimney inspections
We inspect the chimney structure and surrounding roof area to identify cracks, leaks, and worn materials.
Tuckpointing and mortar repair
Damaged mortar joints are repaired to restore strength and help prevent water penetration.
General chimney restoration
For chimneys with more extensive wear, we provide repairs that improve both performance and appearance.
Flashing repair
We repair chimney flashing where roof leaks are forming around the chimney base.
Chimney crown and cap repair
Our team repairs or replaces damaged chimney crowns and caps to help keep water out.
Chimney rebuild
When a chimney has severe structural damage, a rebuild may be necessary. Our team can rebuild sections of the chimney or reconstruct the entire structure to restore safety and stability.
Our Chimney Repair Process
1
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of the chimney to evaluate its condition, identify damage, and determine the most effective repair approach.
2
Preparation and Repair
Damaged materials such as cracked masonry, deteriorated mortar, or faulty flashing are addressed, and necessary repairs are completed to restore the chimney’s integrity.
3
Final Inspection
After repairs are completed, we perform a final inspection to ensure the chimney is secure, properly sealed, and functioning as intended.
Related Services That Help Improve Your Home
We also evaluate other exterior areas of your home that may impact overall performance, durability, and long term protection. If we identify concerns with the roof, windows, gutters, or siding, we can recommend additional services to help improve your home as a whole.
Roofing
Your roof plays a critical role in protecting your home. Issues such as damaged materials, poor ventilation, or leaks can affect overall performance and lead to further structural concerns. We provide roof installation, repair, and replacement services to keep your roofing system in reliable condition.
Outdated or poorly sealed windows can reduce comfort and affect how your home performs overall. Installing modern, high quality windows helps improve sealing, functionality, and the appearance of your home.
A properly functioning gutter system directs water away from your home, helping prevent buildup that can lead to damage over time. We offer gutter installation and replacement services to support proper drainage and protect your property.
Siding adds an extra layer of protection and plays a key role in your home’s exterior appearance. Properly installed siding helps maintain structural integrity and enhances curb appeal while protecting against everyday wear.
