This fireplace was in Bud Grant’s old cabin on Forest Lake. The mortar joints were different colors and did not match and when they vaulted the ceiling the mortar joints where not finished. We cleaned out the old mortar and tuck pointed the fireplace. (picture 3)

The owner had this chimney repaired one year before they called me. The contractor installed a new cement cap, but he didn’t replace broken flue tile in cap or replace the bad brick in the chimney. (picture 10)

I had to remove new chimney cap, tear down approximately 25 courses of brick, re-laid new brick, replace broken flue tiles, and I installed a stone crown to help protect chimney. (picture11)
