Why Choose APX Roofing?

Comprehensive Chimney Inspections: Spotting Problems Early

The first step in any chimney repair is a thorough inspection. Our experienced team will meticulously examine your chimney, both inside and out, to identify any potential issues. From cracked brickwork and damaged flashing to blocked flues and crumbling mortar, we leave no stone unturned. Using the latest equipment, we can even conduct internal inspections to assess the condition of your chimney liner. Catching problems early can prevent costly repairs down the line.

Expert Chimney Repointing: Restoring Structural Integrity

Over time, the mortar joints in your chimney can deteriorate due to weathering and exposure to the elements. This can lead to water ingress, structural instability, and even chimney collapse. Our skilled bricklayers are experts in chimney repointing, carefully removing the old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, high-quality mortar that matches the existing brickwork. This not only restores the structural integrity of your chimney but also enhances its aesthetic appeal.

Chimney Flue Liners: Ensuring Safe and Efficient Operation

The flue liner is a critical component of your chimney, protecting the surrounding brickwork from the corrosive effects of flue gases. If your flue liner is damaged or deteriorated, it can compromise the safety and efficiency of your chimney. We offer a range of flue liner repair and replacement options, including stainless steel and clay liners, to ensure your chimney meets current safety standards.

Chimney Stack Rebuilds: A Lasting Solution

In some cases, chimney damage may be so extensive that a complete rebuild is necessary. Our experienced team can safely and efficiently rebuild your chimney stack, using high-quality materials and time-tested construction techniques. We take pride in our workmanship and ensure that every chimney rebuild is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

"APX Roofing is who we hired to do our roof inspection prior to buying our home. They discovered a couple of minor issues which enabled us to negotiate a better price from the seller. Their attention to detail and knowledge saved us money in the long run!"

Korbin Marcel

"When our slate roof was losing tiles, we weren’t sure whom to trust to repair it. APX Roofing was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn't be more happy we called them. They matched the new tiles with the existing, making it look as good as new. Excellent service!"
