Katelyn Lewis • December 12, 2024

This homeowner got the memo about prepping his chimney for Santa!

A graphic showing before-and-after photos of a RETEX chimney repointing in North Chesterfield VA 23235.

This North Chesterfield homeowner reached out to RETEX in March 2024 for an estimate for a new roof after seeing one of our trucks in his neighborhood. Spoiler alert, he lives in Surreywood – just like RETEX’s Josh & Katelyn Lewis and Mark Erickson!


After meeting with Mark, he decided to go forward with us for replacing his roof and repointing and recapping his chimney, the latter of which is showcased here. 


Chimney repointing fixes the mortar seals between the bricks of your chimney. Even the best mortar seals last about 25-30 years. If left unattended, you may end up with a leaky chimney and, worst-case scenario, a structural collapse. On the other hand, repointing your chimney will give you at least 25 years of peace of mind. 


Prep your chimney for Santa this year.  Call us at 804-258-6300 to schedule a free estimate today.
