Central Connecticut's
chimney family.

J Corrigan LLC started with a simple promise: treat every chimney like it was keeping our own family warm. We restore, rebuild, repoint, and re-flash chimneys across West Hartford and the Farmington Valley, then stick around if anything ever needs another look.

New England weather is brutal on masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles split mortar joints, ice dams push water under flashing, and a fifty-year-old crown gives up one winter at a time. Everything we do is tuned for that: the mortar mix, the cap design, the flashing lap. No shortcuts, no mystery line items, no disappearing after the last brick.

Chimneys are all
we think about.

Whether your crown is crumbling or water's dripping into the firebox, we've seen it before. Here's what we handle every week.

Fully restored brick chimney with fresh mortar and cap

Chimney Restoration

Top-to-bottom bring-it-back-to-life work. Fresh crowns, tuckpointed joints, new caps, re-flashed seams. Protects the structure, protects the home, adds curb appeal.

Chimney Rebuilding

When restoration isn't enough, we take it down to a sound course and rebuild from there. Matching brick, proper flues, and a crown the way it should have been built the first time.

Chimney Leak Detection

Water in the firebox or stains on the ceiling nearby? We find the source before we quote, whether it's the crown, cap, flashing, or mortar, so you pay to fix the problem instead of chasing it.

Chimney Repointing

Old mortar joints crumble and wick water. We grind them out, match the color and texture, and pack them with a mortar mix built for New England freeze-thaw.

Chimney Flashing

The single biggest source of chimney leaks. We install proper step flashing, counter flashing, and a tight reglet cut into the mortar, the way it's supposed to be done.

Three steps,
zero surprises.

A chimney job shouldn't feel like a guessing game. Here's exactly how it goes once you give us a call.

1
We walk the roof with you
We come out, inspect the chimney from up top and from the firebox side, and show you exactly what we're seeing. You walk away with a written number, not a sales pitch.
2
We fix the cause, not the symptom
If it's leaking, we find the water path first. If it's crumbling, we grind out the old mortar and rebuild properly. No smearing sealant on a failing joint and calling it a repair.
3
We leave it cleaner than we found it
Tarps down, roof swept, yard clear. We walk you through what we did, answer questions, and stand behind the work if anything ever needs another look.

Built on repeat neighbors.

Fully covered

CT contractor registration, general liability, and workers' comp on every truck. Certificates of insurance sent over before the work starts if your HOA requires them.

Built for New England

Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and coastal driving rain age chimneys differently than anywhere else. Our mortar specs, crown design, and flashing details are tuned for here.
