Chimney Rebuild in Allentown NJ

When the homeowner in Allentown, NJ noticed significant structural wear on their chimney, they contacted Pro Gen Construction for a full evaluation. Upon inspection, it was clear that the old chimney was beyond simple repairs — cracks, failing mortar joints, and water infiltration risks made a complete rebuild the only safe and long-term solution.

The Rebuild Process

We carefully removed the deteriorating brick exterior, exposing the interior structure for assessment. Our team then reinforced the core and rebuilt the chimney from the base up using high-quality, weather-resistant red brick, chosen to match the aesthetics of the home and withstand the local climate.

Key upgrades included:

• A new stainless steel flue cap for improved draft and animal protection
• Proper flashing installation to prevent water intrusion at the roofline
• A solid crown pour for long-term durability
• Fresh masonry work with clean lines and full tuckpointing
