Failure to prevent creosote buildup in your chimney can cause fires.

Wheaton-Glenmont Masonry Contractor Services
The Best Brick and Masonry Contractor in Wheaton-Glenmont
Masonry is both a trade and an art. It involves more than just adhering block together using mortar: masonry is a mix of smart design, color matching, materials science, and the ability to repair bonded structures already in place.
Priddy Chimney firmly believes masonry is the one trade that mixes physics and sculpture, strength and design.
We Take Pride in Our Chimney Repair & Rebuild Services
Many chimneys are covered with terra cotta clay tiles, stacked one on top of the other all the way from the foundation to the top of the chimney.
Over time, the clay tiles will weaken due to the acidic nature of the vented gases, extreme heat, absorption of moisture from rain and snow, and the shifting and settling of the house and foundation.
These compromised tiles will spall, crack and split, at which point they can no longer contain the gases and the flammable byproducts of combustion they are designed to vent.
With a new chimney liner installed by Priddy Chimney Solutions, you can restore the safety and efficiency of your chimney.
Gas Fireplace Repair and More
We have deep experience with clay brick, concrete block, and stone structures in historic and contemporary homes. Our repair expertise includes repointing (also known as “tuckpointing”) of deteriorated mortar joints, removal and replacement of cracked or distressed (sometimes called “spalling”) brick, as well as shelf angle and lintel replacement/restoration.
If it involves brick, block, or mortar, chances are we have project experience. Call us with your issues and let’s chat about the right masonry solution for you.
Quality Tuckpointing & Fireplace Mortar Repair
Tuckpointing involves using two different colors of mortar to fill in the joints of brickwork.
One color used for tuckpointing is created to match the actual bricks. This causes it to blend in and creates the appearance of seamlessness.
The second color is contrasted, and used for the actual appearance of mortar joints.
By placing the second color in between the brick-colored mortars it produces the illusion that joints are very fine instead of appearing thick.
Fireplace Design & Build
A fireplace can set the tone for the whole aesthetic and style of a room by acting as a focal point. Rough brick or stone can give the space a rustic feel, while smooth tile can be used to set a modern tone.
Whatever your personal style, Priddy can work with you to design a solution that fits your living environment.
We do the following:
