CHIMNEY REBUILDING
When a chimney is severely damaged such as water damage, settling of the foundation or the chimney has been struck by lightning, this is when the chimney is required to be rebuilt. The rebuilding process can be completed in two forms. The most common form is to rebuild the chimney from the roof line up, because this is where the chimney is exposed to elements. The other form of rebuilding would be from the ground up, this is where the chimney is torn down to the ground and built back to the original design, unless the customer requests differently.
When Is a Chimney Rebuild Necessary?
Many homeowners don’t realize how quickly chimney damage can worsen when left untreated. Cracked bricks, deteriorating mortar joints, leaning chimneys, and severe water penetration can all lead to larger structural issues.
If you’ve been searching for reliable Ellicott City chimney repair, it may be time to determine whether your chimney needs repairs—or a full rebuild. Our team performs thorough inspections to help homeowners make the right decision.
Common reasons a chimney may need rebuilding include:
- Severe water damage
- Foundation settling
- Lightning strikes
- Leaning or unstable chimney structures
- Extensive brick deterioration
- Long-term neglect of repairs
Two Types of Chimney Rebuilding
The rebuilding process can typically be completed in two ways depending on the extent of the damage:
Rebuilding from the Roofline Up
This is the most common type of chimney rebuild because the upper portion of the chimney faces constant exposure to weather. Rain, snow, wind, and temperature fluctuations often cause the most damage above the roofline.
Rebuilding from the Ground Up
For severe structural damage, the chimney may need to be completely torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. We carefully restore the chimney to its original design unless a homeowner requests modifications.

“The Absolute Best”
Don’t waste your time contacting other chimney services. The folks at Town and Country are the absolute best. As a part of a major renovation of my home, rebuilding of my chimney was the first step, and other work was contingent on the chimney being completed. Although I received lower estimates from other contractors, I elected to work with T & C because of their experience, the value of their proposal, and their professionalism. Because of other project commitments, T & C got a late start on my project, but as a result of Manny and his crew working until nightfall for several days, the work was completed on time. Moreover, their work was beautiful: they were able to perfectly match the bricks on my 30-year-old house. One can’t tell where the original brickwork stops and the new begins. These guys are artists! I cannot recommend T & C enough.
From, Kay, to Rick, to Manny and his crew, these folks are indeed the best!
