New Westminster's Trusted Chimney Repair & Masonry Restoration Experts

As one of BC’s oldest cities, New Westminster has more century-old chimneys per block than almost anywhere in the Lower Mainland — especially around Queen’s Park and Sapperton. Add the Fraser River humidity and the elevation changes around Uptown and Brow of the Hill, and you get chimneys that fail faster than newer-build areas. Mike and the Red Brick team provide WorkSafe BC-certified, BBB-accredited chimney repair and masonry restoration across New Westminster.

WHO WE ARE

We Fix What Others Overlook

New Westminster’s character homes — many built in the early-to-mid 1900s around Queen’s Park and Sapperton — were built with masonry techniques that simply weren’t designed for a century of Fraser River humidity and freeze-thaw cycling. Add the city’s hillside terrain, and rooflines in Uptown and Brow of the Hill see wind and water exposure that flatter neighborhoods don’t.

Most contractors look at an aging chimney like this and recommend a full teardown — an unnecessary expense in most cases. At Red Brick Chimney Services, we specialize in chimney repair and restoration, not replacement-first thinking. We identify the “Critical Junctions” — flashing seams, crown cracks, and mortar joints — where 90% of chimney damage actually starts, and repair precisely there. That’s how we keep New Westminster’s older housing stock structurally sound without the replacement price tag.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Chimney Brick Repair!  I hired Red Brick Chimney to repair the brickwork on my dad’s 75-year-old house, and I couldn’t be happier. Mike was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. He carefully assessed the damage, explained the work, and gave a fair estimate — unlike other companies that wanted to remove and cap the old chimney for more money. Mike’s repair was excellent: the bricks were repointed, mortar joints reinforced, and metal mesh added to keep animals out. He worked safely, cleaned up daily, and kept us updated throughout. I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and service. Mike went above and beyond — my dad’s old chimney looks brand new again! Highly recommend Red Brick Chimney Ltd.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike asked for a 500$ deposit and wanted the cheque written in his name not the company Furthermore he estimated the job at 3000 which should of been under warranty We got estimates from other companies which all came under 800$ Not a way to do business especially with a 90 year old pensioner STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOK

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have never experienced this before. Mike wrote on an email that he will come between 2-3pm to inspect our chimney. He arrived half an hour late and did not even bother to call ahead and tell me he was going to be late. I actually thought he wasn't going to show up at all. He took a quick look from the outside and I showed him the area where water damage is. He provided a recommendation on what needs to be done, and when I ask him if there are other possibilities that the water could get in, what is included in the cost and if there other alternative solutions. He got all defensive, he said if I don't trust him then I should hire someone else for the job. I told him that he is the expert but I want to make sure the repair is done properly. He got upset, walk away in the middle of the conversation, and drove away in his car. I understand he came out on a Saturday to work and didn't charge a fee for an inspection. I would have hired him for the job if he hasn't acted unprofessionally. I was skeptical after reading poor reviews from other people, now I understand why.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good work and honest pricing but room for improvement. Our chimney was repointed and capped in May 2018. Service at that time and workmanship on a whole was satisfactory (their work was even complimented on by another chimney person... So there you go!). My only critique or watch out - support/service post-work completion needs improving. I found them defensive instead of empathetic, reluctant instead of proactive. They didn't help me with my problem (water ingress) and instead my roofing guy identified the issue and addressed it even though they didn't do the chimney work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not only did Mike take 6 MONTHS to "repair" my Chimney (after he told me it would be about 5 weeks), but the first time it rained it was leaking just like before.  When I asked him about the 10 year Guarantee he gave me, he told me I had to spend another $800 to seal it and his guarantee only applied if the masonry fell down.  Why on earth did I pay to have him repoint my chimney, replace the pots and put in new flashing if it wasn't going to solve the problem that I had?  Couldn't be more disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike @ Red Brick was good to deal with. He provided me an estimate that was clear and detailed the work needed. He was very in tune with what had to be done to my aging chimneys. ( I had a issues with one chimney leaking water at the base after heavy rain) Mike looked at the chimneys while I was not around so I asked him to swing by and explain the scope of work and explain the estimate. He dropped by a couple days later.  I booked him right away before fall ! I was impressed with the great job he did over all. My chimneys look way better. The new flashing looks good and I’m confident the leaking issue is fixed. He gave me a written warrenty.  I would highly recommend Mike and Red Brick Chimney !

Chimney Inspection in New Westminster

As BC’s oldest city, New Westminster has one of the highest concentrations of older masonry chimneys in the Lower Mainland — which makes regular inspection especially worthwhile here. Decades of freeze-thaw cycling and aging mortar mean small issues can turn structural faster than in newer construction. We provide certified chimney inspections across New Westminster, from character homes near the historic core to newer builds throughout the city.

Whether you need a basic annual check, a video-scan Level 2 inspection for a home sale, or documentation for insurance purposes, we deliver a written report with photos within 24-48 hours. See our chimney inspection process guide for exactly what’s checked, or our cost guide for current pricing.

FAQ’S

Common Questions About Chimney Repair in New Westminster

How do I know if my New Westminster chimney needs repointing?

If you see crumbling mortar between the bricks or white “salt” staining (efflorescence), your chimney is absorbing water. This is especially common on New Westminster’s older character homes, where original mortar wasn’t built for a century of Fraser River humidity. Left unaddressed, it can lead to structural failure.

Can you fix a roof leak without replacing the whole roof?

Yes. Most leaks in New Westminster homes start around chimneys, vents, or skylights — not the full roof surface. We specialize in localized repairs that extend your roof’s
life by years without a full replacement.

How much does chimney repair cost in New Westminster?

It depends on the damage — flashing repair and repointing cost significantly less than a full rebuild, and most of New Westminster’s older chimneys only need targeted repair, not replacement. We provide a free on-site inspection and a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins.

Is Red Brick Chimney Services insured in New Westminster?

Yes. We’re A+ BBB Accredited, fully licensed, bonded, and WorkSafe BC certified for residential and commercial chimney repair throughout New Westminster.

Do you offer discounts for New Westminster seniors?

Yes — we offer dedicated discounts for New Westminster seniors on chimney repair and roofing maintenance services.
