PB Chimney Services completed chimney crown repair and pointing work on this brick chimney in Clifton, New Jersey. The photographs document the chimney-top surface and upper masonry before and after the work.
Before: the chimney top and upper brickwork
The wider before photograph shows a weathered chimney-top surface, uneven edges along the upper brick course and visible openings at some of the upper mortar joints. It records the exterior condition before the crown and pointing work.
The flue openings and surrounding brick courses provide reference points when comparing the two views.
Crown repair and repointing
The work covered the chimney crown and pointing at the upper masonry. In the after photograph, the renewed top surface extends around the flue openings, and fresh mortar is visible at the repaired joints between the upper bricks.
The closer after view makes the finished surface and joint work easier to see. The photographs are presented together so homeowners can compare the specific areas addressed.
