Chimney Repair & Restoration
Over time, even well-built chimneys begin to break down due to age and weather exposure. Our experienced team offers comprehensive repair services to extend the life of your chimney and prevent further damage.
Our chimney services include:
- Tuckpointing to repair deteriorating mortar joints
- Brick replacement for cracked or spalling masonry
- Crown repair and sealing to prevent water penetration
- Flashing repair and replacement at the roofline
- Full or partial chimney rebuilds when structural damage is present
We match materials and finishes to your existing structure to ensure a seamless look that complements your home.
Chimney Flashing & Leak Prevention
One of the most common sources of roof leaks is damaged or improperly installed chimney flashing. This critical barrier seals the area where your chimney meets the roof. ARC Exteriors installs and repairs flashing systems that provide long-lasting protection against water intrusion—especially important in Northeast Ohio’s rainy and snowy seasons.
Chimney Caps & Vent Protection
Installing a chimney cap is a simple but effective way to protect your home. Caps help keep out rain, snow, debris, and animals while improving proper airflow. We offer durable, weather-resistant chimney caps that enhance both performance and longevity.
Built for Northeast Ohio Weather
Akron and Canton homes experience freeze-thaw cycles that can quickly worsen small chimney issues. Water can enter small cracks, freeze, and expand—causing bricks and mortar to deteriorate over time. Our repair methods and materials are specifically chosen to withstand these harsh conditions and provide lasting results.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Attention
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a chimney inspection:
- Cracked or missing mortar joints
- Loose or damaged bricks
- Water stains on ceilings or walls near the chimney
- Rusted or missing chimney cap
- Leaks around the base of the chimney
- White staining (efflorescence) on masonry surfaces
Addressing these issues early can prevent more extensive and expensive repairs later.
