PROFESSIONAL MASONRY CONTRACTOR
Chimney Repair
Your chimney might not ask for attention — until it starts leaning, cracking, or showing signs of water damage. What looks like a minor issue can turn into a major safety hazard if left alone. Crumbling mortar, loose bricks, and moisture intrusion aren’t just cosmetic — they’re signs that your chimney may be failing structurally.
At Milwaukee Brickwork Brigade, we specialize in professional chimney repair and full rebuilds designed for Wisconsin’s harsh, shifting weather. Whether your chimney needs repointing, brick replacement, or a top-to-bottom restoration, we deliver lasting solutions with clean workmanship and no shortcuts. We’ll assess the damage, explain your options clearly, and get your chimney back to safe, stable, and solid — without any upselling or pressure.

Trends in Modern Masonry
While safety and performance always come first, many Milwaukee homeowners are also thinking about how their chimney contributes to the overall look of their home. Today’s chimney designs aim to balance durability with visual appeal — whether that means restoring classic brickwork on a historic house or giving a modern build a cleaner, updated finish.
We’re seeing growing demand in the Milwaukee area for neutral brick blends, reclaimed materials, and streamlined chimney caps that reduce clutter and boost efficiency. Stone accents, extended stacks, and decorative crowns are also gaining popularity — especially on larger homes or full exterior restoration projects.
Whether you’re planning a full chimney rebuild, repairing an aging structure, or just want to give your existing chimney a bit more presence, we’ll help you explore options that align with your home’s style, stay within code, and stand up to Wisconsin weather.

Chimney Repair Services in Milwaukee, WI
Chimneys take a beating — from rain, snow, ice, and relentless freeze-thaw cycles — and when the masonry starts to break down, it’s more than just an eyesore. Cracked bricks, loose mortar, and leaning stacks are serious red flags that can lead to major structural issues if left unchecked.
At Milwaukee Brickwork Brigade, we handle all types of chimney repair — from minor tuckpointing to full structural rebuilds. Whether your chimney is leaking, losing bricks, or just looking worse for wear, we’ll assess the damage and restore it with a long-term fix — not a quick patch.
We begin with a full inspection of the brickwork, mortar joints, crown, cap, and flashing to pinpoint the source of the problem. Sometimes it’s just weathered joints or surface damage. Other times, it’s a deeper issue that’s been building over years. We’ll tell you exactly what needs to be handled now, what can wait, and what you can expect down the line.
Common chimney repairs we handle in Milwaukee include:
Replacing damaged or spalled bricks
Tuckpointing worn-out mortar joints
Rebuilding leaning or unstable chimneys
Installing or repairing crowns and caps
Waterproofing exposed masonry to prevent future damage
We also assist homeowners preparing to sell their home or handle flagged inspection issues. If a contractor or home inspector pointed out chimney concerns, we’ll take care of it fast — and by the book.
Our goal isn’t just to make your chimney look good — it’s to make sure it’s solid, safe, and ready to stand through another twenty Wisconsin winters.

The Art of Stonework: Creating Beautiful & Functional Chimneys
Stone chimneys have a weight and presence that’s hard to replicate. Whether built with natural stone or high-quality veneer, the right materials can add serious character and lasting value to a home. We approach every stone chimney project with an eye for balance — solid construction, clean lines, and a finish that matches the overall style of the house.
Great stonework is all about the details: the size and shape of each stone, the spacing of the joints, and how the chimney visually connects with the rest of the structure. Some homeowners prefer a rustic, natural look with varied stone profiles. Others go for a more uniform, modern style with tight lines and smooth surfaces. Whatever the design, we make sure the chimney isn’t just visually striking — it’s built to handle the freeze-thaw cycles and wild seasonal swings that come with Wisconsin weather.
Keeping Your Brick and Stone Looking Like New
Over time, even the best-built masonry starts to show wear. Between harsh Milwaukee winters, driving rain, and the natural settling of a home, brick and stone surfaces take a beating. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. With the right maintenance, your masonry can hold up in both strength and appearance for decades.
In addition to chimney repairs and structural fixes, we also provide cleaning, sealing, and protective treatments that restore aging brickwork and help prevent future damage. It’s not just about curb appeal — it’s about protecting your investment. Stains from dirt, mold, or moisture might seem cosmetic, but they’re often signs of deeper issues starting to form.
We’ll inspect your masonry carefully, clean it the right way, and apply durable sealants or water-repellent coatings as needed — all to keep your home looking sharp and standing strong through every season Wisconsin throws at it.
