What's covered in a Glen Ridge chimney crown repair job

Why chimney crown repair matters in Glen Ridge
On a Glen Ridge chimney, the reason to act is straightforward. The crown is the first element the sun and storm cycle cracks, and once it splits, every rain is funneled straight down into the flue and the brickwork below it.
Developed in the 1940s as a tiny inland, tree-shaded town and registered bird sanctuary on the West Palm Beach Canal, Glen Ridge has no coastal salt exposure, but heavy tree canopy means chimney caps and spark arrestors should be kept clear of leaf debris and screened against nesting birds. Near its status as a town-wide registered bird sanctuary, Glen Ridge housing sets the terms for a chimney crown repair: 1940s-era and mid-century single-family homes from the town's 1947 incorporation, mostly block and frame construction with simple masonry chimneys. We serve Glen Ridge and nearby Cloud Lake, Haverhill, and Lake Clarke Shores on the same route.
