Cracked chimney crown? We seal, resurface, or fully replace damaged crowns before water destroys your chimney structure. Crown resurfacing from $400. Free inspection and estimate.
The chimney crown is the concrete cap on top of your masonry chimney. It sheds water away from the flue and protects the brick and mortar below. When it cracks — and in Chicago, they all crack eventually — water enters the chimney structure and accelerates deterioration through freeze-thaw cycles.
Crown resurfacing with a flexible crown coat sealant starts at $400. Full crown replacement (removing old, pouring new with proper overhang and drip edge) runs $800–$1,500. The cost depends on chimney size, accessibility, and damage severity. Fixing a crown early saves thousands in brick and mortar repairs later.
We use ChimneySaver CrownCoat for resurfacing (15-year warranty, flexible, waterproof) and pour new crowns with proper Portland cement mixes, steel reinforcement, and a minimum 2-inch overhang with drip edge — the way they should have been built originally.
