Before & After: Chimney Repointing & Recapping in Richmond, VA
Katelyn Lewis • October 17, 2024
This chimney repointing before-and-after is like night and day!
This Richmond homeowner reached out to RETEX in March 2024 for an estimate for a new roof. After meeting with RETEX’s Andy Connor, she decided to go forward with us for replacing her roof and repointing and re-capping her 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.

Most asphalt shingles require warmer temperatures to install safely, but TAMKO’s StormFighter shingles are designed for lower-temperature installs.
