The large colonial and shingle-style estate homes surrounding it often carry chimneys just as old. Chimney repointing and rebuilding on Bedford's historic properties is some of the most detailed masonry work we do in this part of the county.
Common Problems
Common Chimney Problems in Bedford
Chimneys on Bedford's historic estate homes show over two centuries of New York freeze-thaw cycles in some cases, spalling brick, eroded mortar joints, and original clay liners that were never built for modern heating appliances. Because many of these estate properties are large, a chimney can go unnoticed for years, and we regularly find crown damage or structural issues that have been developing well before the homeowner called.
Materials & Approach
Chimney on Bedford Homes
Bedford's older estate chimneys are typically substantial brick masonry structures, sometimes larger than a standard suburban chimney given the scale of the homes they serve, some of them well over two centuries old.
Permits & Licensing
Chimney Permits in Bedford
Bedford Village is unincorporated, so chimney permits go through the Town of Bedford Building Department, with additional review for properties under local historic designation.

How It Works
How a Chimney Project Works in Bedford
We plan scaffolding and access carefully on Bedford's larger estate chimneys, since they're often bigger and less accessible than a standard suburban chimney.
1. Inspection
We inspect the chimney from the roofline and, where accessible, the flue interior, to find the source of leaks, cracks, or drafting problems.
2. Diagnosis & Estimate
We explain whether the chimney needs repointing, a partial rebuild, or a full rebuild, and provide a written estimate.
3. Repair or Rebuild
We repoint mortar joints, rebuild damaged masonry, replace the liner, or install a new cap and crown, matching existing brick and stone where possible.
4. Final Inspection
We confirm the chimney is weathertight and, where applicable, drafting properly before we leave.

We had the roof on our home in Chappaqua completely replaced, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the final result. Ervin was amazing from beginning to end — extremely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His crew did an incredible job. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and were extremely clean and respectful of our property. With such a large roofing project, I was expecting a big mess, but they kept everything organized and made sure the property was cleaned up beautifully. The difference in the before and after is incredible. The new roof looks beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship really shows. I would absolutely recommend Ervin and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional roofing company. Excellent work, excellent service, and a great experience from start to finish. 10/10!
