Chimney Design and Installation
Whether you need a new chimney installation, repairs to your existing chimney, or a complete chimney redesign, Ramos Masonry deliver exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. From chimney design and installation to repair and maintenance, we handle it all.
Rain and wind caps
Chimney caps are a reliable solution to safeguard your chimney against rain and wind. Rain and wind caps sit atop the chimney crown, protecting it from the harsh elements, preventing water damage, regulating airflow and improving your chimney’s overall efficiency
Flue tile crown
The crown is the very top part of your chimney, which prevents precipitation from entering your home. Our high-quality crowns enhance your chimneys strength and integrity while acting as a protective barrier, shielding the flue tiles from moisture and debris.
Corbelling (brick step out)
Corbels are a beautiful way to give your home character and architectural interest. Corbelling involves the gradual stepping out of bricks or stones to create a projecting ledge, giving you the bonus of additional support to your masonry.
Tuckpointing (re-mortaring)
Tuckpointing, sometimes referred to as repointing or brick pointing, is a process to finish or repair mortar joints between bricks or stones. Our skilled craftsmen meticulously remove and replace damaged mortar, ensuring a flawless finish and preserving the integrity and character of your masonry.
Metal Flashing
Roof flashing directs water away from certain areas of your roof, including the chimney. As water flows down your roof, it ensures the space where the chimney comes through the roof is sealed and watertight. We specialize in installing durable and weather-resistant metal flashing to safeguard vulnerable areas of your structure, such as roof joints and chimney intersections.
Chimney Repairs and Maintenance
Chimneys play a crucial role in keeping your home warm and comfortable during cold seasons, and with regular use comes the need for regular maintenance.
Neglecting your chimney can lead to costly damages. Regular maintenance and chimney repairs can prevent fires, reduce heating bills, and prolong the lifespan of your fireplace. From simple chimney cleanings to full chimney rebuilds, Ramos Masonry is here with the skill, integrity and expertise to handle it all.
- Fire hazards: Cracks or gaps in the chimneys structure can allow heat and sparks to escape into the surrounding walls or roof, potentially igniting a fire in your home.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning: When your chimney is compromised, toxic gasses that are meant to be safely expelled can seep back into your home.
- Structural instability: A damaged chimney can compromise the structural stability of your home, pose a safety hazard and require expensive repairs or even complete reconstruction to fix.
