Chimney Repair for Harmony chimneys
Harmony's chimneys range from old brick stacks on farmhouses to mid-century masonry fireplace chimneys and later prefab chases. River-valley damp and freeze-thaw work on mortar and crowns, wind drives rain into open joints and failing caps, and many flues now vent appliances they were not designed for.
Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout Harmony. We repoint and waterproof masonry, rebuild crowns, install caps and chase covers, rebuild flashing and install stainless-steel liners. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Harmony housing
Harmony's housing includes nineteenth- and early twentieth-century farmhouses, often with stone foundations, brick chimneys and later additions, along with ranches, split-levels, capes and colonials from the mid-twentieth century onward on rural lots. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof, with metal on barns and outbuildings. Fireplaces and wood stoves are common.
Weather & exposure
The Delaware River valley funnels wind along the township's western edge and brings fog and damp air to the lower ground. Upland farms are open to storms from every direction. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw, and summer thunderstorms move up the valley with strong gusts and heavy rain.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Harmony
Exposed chimneys need a solid crown with an overhang, a secure cap, sound mortar and a breathable water repellent. We repoint open joints, rebuild crowns and loose upper courses and install caps that hold up to valley wind.
Every flue in use should be inspected and lined to suit its appliance. If you burn wood, have the chimney cleaned and inspected every year before the heating season.
