Local chimneys

What we look for on Huntingdon Valley chimneys

Most Huntingdon Valley houses went up in the 1950s and 60s. A chimney that age has been through a lot of winters.

  • Brick chimney rising above a grey shingle roof with metal flashing at its base

    Mortar and winter

    Winters here swing above and below freezing, over and over. Water gets into a worn mortar joint, freezes, and pushes it open a little more each time. We grind out the bad mortar and repoint before the damage reaches the brick.

  • Concrete chimney crown with two stainless steel flue caps, seen from the roof

    Crowns and caps

    The crown is the concrete on top, and the cap sits over the flue. A cracked crown lets water into the brick below it. A missing cap lets in rain, leaves and animals. We repair or replace both.

  • Brick chimney where it meets a dark shingle roof, with copper counterflashing along its base

    Flashing

    Most leaks beside a chimney come from the flashing where it meets the roof. We use step flashing and counterflashing cut into the mortar joints. A bead of caulk isn't flashing, and it will fail.

Leak near the chimney? It might be the roof. We do both, so we check the flashing, the crown and the shingles on the same visit.

No guessing from the ground

Repair or rebuild? You'll see the photos first

We get up on the roof and look at the brick, the mortar joints, the crown, the cap and the flashing, and we send you the photos. If the damage is in the top few courses, we repoint or repair it. If the brick is soft and the crown is gone, a rebuild from the roofline up is usually the better money, and we'll say so. Either way, it's your call.

How a Huntingdon Valley chimney job goes

  1. Free inspection

    We look at the chimney from the roof, check the flashing where it meets the shingles, and photograph all of it.

  2. Written estimate

    Everything's on paper: what we're repairing, what we're replacing, and why.

  3. Permits

    We check the job against Lower Moreland's rules and file the mechanical permit when it needs one.

  4. The work

    We grind out bad mortar and repoint, rebuild what has to be rebuilt, and finish with a sound crown, a cap, and step flashing with counterflashing.

    I live in Cheltenham PA, and Dynasty Construction & Roofing recently installed my new roof. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with them! From start to finish, Jack keep me update with the pictures from the drone view and the entire team was professional, efficient, and completely transparent throughout the whole process. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Dynasty Construction & Roofing to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced roofing company. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience!

    Replacing a roof isn't something you do everyday. But in doing so you want to make sure you have someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. When I met Rich and Jack from Dynasty Construction & Rofing they made me feel comfortable immediately. I knew they knew their stuff and they handled everything for me. I didn't have time to worry or doubt because their confidence and professionalism surpassed all my expectations. Jack walked me through everything step by step and answered any questions or concerns patiently. I definitely recommend them because they definitely have your best interest in mind.

  • Smokey IGoogle review

    I recently hired Dynasty Construction & Roofing to take care of some issues with my roof, including replacing missing shingles and recapping my chimney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They clearly explained the scope of work, provided a fair estimate, and showed up on time ready to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship really stood out and everything was completed with attention to detail, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The new shingles blend in perfectly with the existing roof, and the chimney recap was done cleanly and securely. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job, which I really appreciated.

Price

What chimney work costs in Huntingdon Valley

We don't price chimney work over the phone. A new cap and a rebuild from the roofline are very different jobs, and you can't tell which one you need from the ground. What moves the number is how far down the damage goes, how tall the chimney is, how many flues it has, and whether the flashing or the liner need work too.

A cheap fix that smears mortar over bad joints or caulks the flashing will look fine for a season. We'd rather show you what's actually wrong.

Questions about chimney repair in Huntingdon Valley

Do I need a permit for chimney work in Huntingdon Valley?

For a gas fireplace or other vented appliance, yes, on Lower Moreland's mechanical permit. For masonry repairs, we check the township's rules for your job before we set a date.

My address says Huntingdon Valley. Am I in Lower Moreland?

Usually, but not always. Huntingdon Valley takes in Lower Moreland and parts of Abington and Upper Moreland, plus small slices of Bucks County. Give us the address and we'll check.

Why does my chimney leak when it rains?

Usually the flashing where it meets the roof. After that, a cracked crown, a missing cap, or mortar joints that have worn open. There's no way to tell which from inside the house, so we look at all of them on the same visit.

Should I repair my chimney or rebuild it?

It depends how far down the damage goes. Loose bricks and worn mortar in the top few courses can usually be repaired. When the damage runs down the chimney, the crown is gone and the brick is soft, a rebuild from the roofline up is usually the better money.

Do I need a stainless steel liner?

You do if the clay liner is cracked or missing, or if you're connecting a new furnace, boiler or wood stove that the old flue wasn't sized for. We look before we quote, and if the liner is fine we tell you.

Free, and nothing to book

Want to know what your chimney needs?

We'll get up on the roof, look at the brick, the crown and the flashing, and show you the photos. It costs nothing and you don't have to book anything. If it just needs a cap, we'll tell you that.
