Wind-driven Sound rain on Burien's bluff homes, plus decades of weather on Olde Burien bungalows, leaves crowns cracked and mortar failing. We seal and re-cast crowns, tuckpoint failing joints, and waterproof masonry so water stops soaking into the structure. Early sealing on an exposed bluff chimney prevents years of slow damage.
When a chimney is past saving, we rebuild from the roofline with materials rated for our wet, windy climate. On vintage homes we match brick and mortar so repairs blend with the original.

Chimney & Crown Repair — your questions
Why do Burien crowns deteriorate?
Wind-driven Sound rain keeps crowns saturated, and freeze-thaw cracks them open. Bluff homes see it worst. Sealing early is the cheap fix.
Can you match my bungalow's brick?
Yes. We source matching brick and tint mortar so repairs blend with your vintage home's masonry.
How long does crown repair take?
A seal is usually one appointment; a re-cast or partial rebuild typically takes a day or two depending on weather and access.
