This Middletown project involved chimney crown repair and pointing on a brick chimney with two capped flues. PB Chimney Services repaired the top surface and upper mortar joints, documented in the two photographs shown here.
Before: a weathered crown beneath two caps
The front view shows the chimney before the crown and pointing work. The top surface is weathered, with a visible line through its center between the two flues. The upper brick courses and their mortar joints are also visible below the crown edge.
Two individual metal caps appear in both photographs. Their position helps identify the same chimney when comparing the wider before view with the closer, angled after view.
After: the crown surface and upper joints
The after photograph shows a renewed crown surface extending around both capped flues. Fresh mortar is visible along the upper brick courses, where the pointing work was carried out.
These views document two parts of the same repair: the surface at the top of the chimney and the joints between the bricks beneath it. The full photographs are included so the surrounding masonry remains visible alongside the repaired areas.
