"We had a new pellet stove installed.  I was super impressed with everything from the consultation to the finished product.  Let me just say that I researched getting a pellet stove off and on for over 2 years.  I got ranges in price between $1900.00 and $5500.00. Finally, I went to Angie's list for reviews.  They did not steer me wrong.  I met with the owner Matt for a consultation.  He knew his stuff and was very pleasant to work with. 90 days same as cash and my pellet stove was installed.  I love it.  It is beautiful.  I had just painted my brick hearth white and they didn't even make any marks during installation.  I highly recommend this company.

"American Professional Chimney installed a gas fireplace that is both beautiful (looks like a real wood fireplace) and warm. They installed a gasline that was done a very professional way, burying the line underground. Stephen and his team did an impeccable job, clearly explaining the pros and cons of the many options. Super happy with the service."

"The company rapidly responded to the service request and booked an appointment with me in a timely fashion. Technician, John, arrived on time and did call 20-30 minutes prior to arrival. He was polite, profession and respected the property. Quickly diagnosed the issue and provided me with several options after showing me and explaining the issue with the fireplace. Fortunately the parts were in his truck and he was able to quickly effect a repair. Everything was cleaned up and he even cleaned the fireplace glass insert (this is a natural gas fireplace). I am very pleased with this company's professionalism from start to finish. I will be keeping them on file should another issue arise. Thank you Chimney Experts for your assistance!!"

"The repointing work was generally done well. Old mortar and bricks were removed and new bricks were installed. The craftsmanship was excellent. However, the color of the mortar used differed from that in the rest of the brickwork, so at present it stands out. Sixpenny said to wait a period and then re-evaluate whether any change should be made. I would rate this as an "A" but for the color difference in the mortar that was not expected. The chimney cap work was done well."

"Great job. Our fireplace was falling away from the house due to water leaks and rotted wood. We hired Chimney.com to remove the old insert, rebuild the support, remove the brick surrounding the fireplace, install a new insert, and replace drywall. Long story short, they came, they saw, they fixed. The work was done on schedule, the team was thoughtful and cleaned and vacuumed the work area each day before leaving. We are very happy with the end result and would definitely hire again."

Customers say: True professional

"Repair went pretty much as planned, although it ended up being a much bigger job due to a cracked liner inside the chimney. The owner/boss of the operation is hard-working, conscientious, friendly, and straightforward. My minor gripe, the B for quality, is not a criticism of the boss, but more his workers, who left things messy and somewhat unfinished. It seemed like they wouldn't do a good job unless he was there to point out the shortfalls.  As long as you're willing to speak up when things aren't right, I am confident that the firm will do whatever is needed. I am very happy, and would use them again.

"Yosuary Diaz is very professional, friendly, responsive, pleasant to work with, and does great work. We were selling our 20 year old townhouse and it needed significant updating. Yosuary gave us a quote significantly less than two other companies and was highly recommended by our realtor. Yosuary and his crew worked on the house non-stop for two weeks, repainting the entire interior and parts of the exterior (with Sherwin Williams!), replacing fixtures, cleaning carpets, refinishing woodwork and power washing the entire exterior and deck. Basically Mr. Diaz does it all, and he has the knowledge and experience to know what improvements sell houses. Also, he is the kind of guy who tells you when a repair is necessary versus replacement, and when something isn't even worth doing at all. What's the proof? After a single open house, our house was under contract in four days and sold a few weeks later. The buyers loved the work that Mr. Diaz did!!! I strongly recommend Mr. Diaz and his team for your home improvement needs."

"Dave was flexible and juggled his schedule and came out on a Saturday. He was very thorough and professional. He notified us of a few issues but did not apply any pressure to have repairs done. I would definitely recommend him."

"The service attendant was prompt and arrived at the scheduled time and was very professional. He provided answers to all my questions and posed other questions that I hadn't thought of as well as gave me benchmark costs on other related fireplace appliances or changes to consider based on my inquiries. I'd used them again and was very pleased with the service obtained."

"My chimney needed repairing for a while.  Mr. Athos, Professional Construction provided me a free estimate and a video he had taken inside my damage chimney, he explained what I was looking at as we viewed the video and the extend of the damage.  Professional Construction started work within the next two days after signing the contract.  They arrived on time and went right to work, after covering my furniture and hardwood floors, which really pleased me.  As I watched the process outside, Mr. Athos would stop and explain what was being done at that particular time.  They were professional and friendly throughout the work process.  When the job was complete, they cleaned up very well.  I am very pleased with the outcome of the repairs inside and outside of my home and look forward to a cozy fire and a good book."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Bowie, MD

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.
