Stone Chimney Crown Replacement in Edina, MN

Project Overview

Ultimate Chimney Services completed a professional chimney crown replacement on a residential stone chimney in Edina, Minnesota. The existing concrete crown had developed significant cracks and deterioration, leaving the chimney vulnerable to water intrusion and further damage during Minnesota’s harsh winters.

The Problem

The original chimney crown showed visible cracking and separation along the concrete surface. A damaged chimney crown can allow rainwater and melting snow to penetrate the masonry, potentially causing additional deterioration as temperatures drop below freezing.

Our Chimney Crown Replacement Process

Our team carefully removed the deteriorated concrete crown and prepared the chimney for restoration. We installed forms to create a new concrete crown, ensuring a clean finish and appropriate overhang to direct water away from the stone chimney walls.

The replacement restored the chimney’s appearance while providing improved protection against moisture exposure.

The Final Results

The stone chimney now features a newly finished concrete crown, helping reduce the risk of water penetration and future weather-related deterioration.

This project demonstrates how timely chimney crown replacement can help homeowners in Edina, MN, preserve their masonry chimneys and avoid more extensive repairs.
