"Communication was very poor. Owner talks a good game when you have his attention and falls short on his promises. Arrive late or not al all. My roof leaked more than the initial leak when they were finished."

"hired Chimney and Duct Experts based on their reviews on Google and Angis list to address a potential problem with a roof leak near my chimney. They quickly determined the flashing of my chimney was probably the reason for the leak, so they gave me a quote to rebuild the chimney flashing for $1300. They were able to do the work that same day, which I thought was great. However, the leak continued, so I moved on to roofers to help figure out the problem. I had 5 different roofing and repair companies come out, and each one said that the flashing on the chimney was terribly done, using a sealant instead of metal step flashing as is standard. I called back Chimney and Duct Experts and spoke with a supervisor. He agreed to come and redo the flashing, but insisted that fully rebuilding the flashing is only done when you get a new roof. Ended up being incorrectly done again, and I'll have to pay someone now to fix it correctly."

Professional Chimney Services was established in 1986 and is a basic family owned and operated business offering a variety of chimney services at a very affordable price to the Schenectady, New York area. Serving the capital district of NY, we do it all when it comes to chimneys. No amount of chimney work is too tough or too small for us to handle. We are fully insured with workers compensation and liability. Our goal is to perform the highest quality of work, leaving the customer telling their co-workers, friends, and relatives about us. Many homeowners may not be aware that the chimney's interior, when not maintained, will decay and break down - just like neglecting your teeth and not having them checked annually may result in cavities. It's the same thing with your chimney. The incomplete by product of combustion is soot, which contains carbon and sulphur. Sulphur, when mixed with rain water (from a missing rain cap) or moisture from the flue gases themselves is absorbed into the flue tile and starts a deteriorating process called flaking or spalling. Just like tartar on your teeth, annual brushing will remove these soot deposits and keep the deterioration process to a minimum. Annual visual inspection by Professional Chimney Services will find these problems and give you recommended corrective actions. When we arrive at your home to do the annual visual inspection and sweeping of the chimney, we will set up our equipment (vacuum, etc.), remove and inspect the connector pipes (the pipes from the oil furnace to the chimney) - careful as not to spill soot into the home. The chimney connector will be cleaned and closed off so that when the chimney is swept, no soot will enter the home. A visual inspection of the exterior chimney will be made, the chimney swept, and then the interior of the chimney inspected for deterioration and soundness. The sweep completes the exterior work and next returns inside and removes the soot that was brushed down the chimney. When the connector pipes are re-installed, the furnace will be restarted and checked for proper chimney draft.
"The work was done as agreed. The worker was professional, made changes when we asked, and did more than expected. The owner came and verified that we were satisfied before his worker left the site. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Albany, NY
Tuckpointing an 8-by-8-foot brick wall section costs between $300 and $1,600, with variations based on mortar condition and accessibility. Walls with intricate brickwork patterns or severely deteriorated mortar tend toward the higher end of this range. Ground-level walls with minimal damage cost less than elevated surfaces or those requiring extensive preparation.
The cost reflects the labor-intensive nature of properly removing damaged mortar without harming surrounding bricks, plus the skilled craftsmanship needed to apply new material correctly. Professional tuckpointing requires specialized tools, material knowledge, and precise application techniques. The investment provides significant value by preventing water damage that could lead to extensive structural repairs costing many times more than preventative maintenance.
To estimate tuckpointing expenses, multiply the area's square footage by the appropriate rate ($5 to $25 per square foot) based on project complexity. Add adjustments for factors like height requirements, accessibility challenges, or specialized materials. For chimney work or other difficult-to-access areas, expect rates toward the upper end of the range. Professional assessments provide the most accurate projections for your specific situation.
While technically possible for small areas, DIY tuckpointing presents significant challenges, including proper mortar removal without brick damage, achieving a consistent joint appearance, and ensuring structural integrity. The process requires specialized tools and materials along with physical dexterity. Professional masons bring experience in identifying underlying issues that might not be apparent to untrained observers. Complex or structurally significant areas should always be entrusted to qualified professionals.
The frequency of tuckpointing depends on environmental exposure, original masonry installation quality, and local climate conditions. Regular inspections, particularly of chimneys and weather-exposed walls, help identify deterioration before it becomes severe. Addressing small areas of deterioration promptly can extend the life of the overall masonry system and prevent more extensive repairs in the future.
While both processes replace deteriorated mortar, tuckpointing involves additional aesthetic enhancement. Repointing simply restores structural integrity by replacing damaged mortar with new material. Tuckpointing adds a decorative element by creating contrasting lines that give the appearance of precision joints. This additional craftsmanship explains why repointing costs $3 to $15 per square foot while tuckpointing ranges from $5 to $25 per square foot.
