Chimney Repair for Glen Gardner chimneys
Glen Gardner's older homes have brick chimneys that have been through more than a century of valley winters, and many serve wood stoves or heating appliances today. Damp, shaded conditions keep the masonry wet, and wet masonry suffers most in freeze-thaw: joints erode, crowns crack and brick faces spall.

Glen Gardner housing
Glen Gardner's homes are largely older village houses from the 1800s and early 1900s, with steep gable roofs, porches and brick chimneys, along with mid-century and later homes on wooded hillside lots. Asphalt shingle is the usual roof. Many homes have fireplaces or wood stoves and rely on oil, propane or wood for heat.
Weather & exposure
The borough sits in a steep, wooded valley at the edge of the Highlands. Houses on the valley floor get limited winter sun, hillsides hold snow longer than open lowland does, and dense tree cover means shade, leaves and falling limbs. Moisture lingers along the stream, and freeze-thaw cycling is hard on masonry and gutters.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Glen Gardner
Keeping water out is the priority: repoint open joints with mortar suited to old brick, rebuild the crown, cap the flue and apply a breathable water repellent. If you heat with wood, have the chimney inspected and cleaned every year and make sure the stove vents through a liner sized to it.
We rebuild the roof flashing around the chimney at the same time where needed, since many leaks blamed on the chimney start at the roofline.
