Chimney Crown Rebuild in Aledo, TX
Most crowns in DFW are a mortar wash — a bag of mortar troweled flat over the brick, feathered to the flue, no overhang. It cracks, and after that every rain goes straight into the top of the stack. A rebuild removes that wash entirely and replaces it with a poured, steel-reinforced concrete crown: sloped to shed, extended past the brick face by at least two inches with a drip edge cut underneath so water leaves the masonry instead of running back down it, and formed with an expansion joint around the flue tile so the two materials move independently. Cost moves with the footprint of the stack and how much of the top course has to be reset first. Serving Aledo (1 ZIP codes, 5k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
