Expert chimney repair and complete rebuilds in Fontana, CA
A damaged chimney isn't just an eyesore—it's a serious safety hazard that can lead to water damage, structural problems, and even fire risks. At FMA Fontana Masonry, we specialize in comprehensive chimney repair and rebuilding services throughout Fontana and the Inland Empire. Whether you've noticed cracks in your chimney crown, leaning bricks, or water stains on your ceiling, our experienced masons can diagnose the problem and provide lasting solutions that protect your home and family.
We've been repairing and rebuilding chimneys in Southern California for years, and we understand the unique challenges that our climate presents. From earthquake damage to the effects of temperature swings and occasional heavy rain, chimneys take a beating. Our team has the skills and knowledge to handle everything from minor mortar repairs to complete chimney rebuilds from the roofline up. We use premium materials, proven techniques, and careful attention to detail to ensure your chimney stands strong for decades to come.
The chimney crown is your chimney's first line of defense against water. We repair cracks, resurface damaged crowns, and install proper overhangs to direct water away from the masonry.
Damaged flashing is a leading cause of chimney leaks. We remove old, corroded flashing and install new, properly integrated flashing that creates a watertight seal between your chimney and roof.
We replace damaged bricks, tuckpoint deteriorated mortar joints, and restore structural integrity to chimneys showing signs of wear or damage from weather and age.
When damage is extensive, a rebuild is the safest option. We rebuild chimneys from the roofline up (or from the foundation if necessary), ensuring proper construction and code compliance.
A leaning chimney is dangerous and indicates foundation issues. We assess the cause, stabilize the structure, and rebuild as needed to restore safe, vertical alignment.
After repairs, we can apply breathable waterproofing sealants that protect your chimney from moisture while allowing trapped water vapor to escape, preventing freeze-thaw damage.
Our masons have years of specialized experience with chimney construction and repair. We understand structural requirements, fire codes, and the best practices for long-lasting results.
We don't just patch visible problems. We conduct comprehensive inspections to identify the root cause of damage and address all issues to prevent recurring problems.
We use premium bricks, specialty mortar mixes, and proper flashing materials designed to withstand our local climate and provide decades of reliable performance.
Chimney work can be messy, but we take care to protect your roof, gutters, and landscaping. We clean up thoroughly every day and leave your property looking great when we're done.
We examine your chimney from top to bottom, both inside and out. We check the crown, flashing, masonry, mortar joints, flue, and structural alignment to identify all issues.
We provide a clear, written estimate that explains what needs to be done and why. We'll discuss your options, from targeted repairs to full rebuilds, so you can make an informed decision.
Our experienced masons perform all work to code, using proper scaffolding and safety equipment. We match existing brick and mortar as closely as possible for repairs that blend seamlessly.
We inspect all completed work to ensure it meets our high standards and all applicable codes. We thoroughly clean your roof and property, removing all debris and materials.
