Full Chimney Removal to Foundation in McKinney, TX

It is when it's engineered. Our leads map the load paths and finish-bearing first, support what needs it, and sequence the demo so the structure stays square. The risk comes from crews that treat it as a wrecking job — that's exactly what our discipline is built to avoid.

We finish. The price covers framing and drywalling the chase, restoring the wall plane flush, and patching flooring where the hearth was, plus a coordinated paint/texture hand-off. Leaving raw framing isn't a finished job by our standard.

If the scope calls for it, yes — we excavate and break up the concrete footing so it won't interfere with future landscaping or an addition. Some clients leave the footing in place to save cost; we'll lay out both options clearly.

The supply is disconnected and permanently capped, then pressure/leak-tested to confirm a tight seal, with the result documented. We never simply close a valve and move on; an untested cap-off is a liability we won't leave behind.

Yes — a job package with photos of the framed infill before it's covered, the gas pressure-test result where applicable, and the roof water-test. Verifiable work is part of the premium standard and it's what protects you at resale.

Almost certainly a thin flat mortar wash instead of a proper cast crown — a common builder shortcut that cracks within a few North-Texas winters on our clay soil and freeze-thaw cycle. The right fix isn't more mortar smeared on top; it's recasting a sloped, overhanging crown with a drip edge and reinforcement so water sheds clear of the brick. Done correctly once, it shouldn't be a recurring problem.

Yes — that's the heart of craftsmanship masonry. We match the mortar strength (historic brick needs soft lime or Type N, not hard Portland that spalls it) and color, and source reclaimed or matched brick for out-of-production blends so the repair is invisible. On a century-old McKinney chimney, the goal is a repair nobody can find.

That's spalling — water absorbed into the brick froze in a hard freeze and popped the face off. In McKinney it's driven by our wet-fall-then-hard-freeze pattern. We cut out and reface the spalled brick with a matched replacement and seal the moisture source with a breathable repellent, so the next freeze has no water to work with.

No — the damage happens in winter, so the repair has to be done before winter. The smart McKinney window is fall: crown coatings and repointing need to cure above freezing and be sealing the chimney *before* the freeze that causes spalling and water intrusion. Waiting means absorbing a season of damage you could have prevented.
