How long has it been since you had your chimney swept? If you can’t remember, it’s time to call the pros at Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry and book your appointment. Every year, in St Louis, and across the US, thousands of dangerous chimney fires destroy homes and injure or kill homeowners. The best way to avoid a chimney fire is by having a professional chimney cleaning performed annually. Burning chimney cleaning logs can help keep your chimney clear of dangerous creosote build up, but it may not be enough to keep your fireplace and chimney clean. To really be sure and have true peace of mind, a professional chimney cleaning is the most reliable preventive measure a homeowner can take. Also, we can check for missing bricks, crumbling mortar, improperly installed or failing flue liners and other factors that can adversely affect the safety of your home’s fireplace and chimney.

Homeowners: Avoid the St Louis Tuckpointing “Skimmers!”
Unfortunately there are St Louis contractors, specifically tuckpointers, that cut corners and worse. A good example of this is local tuckpointers who are what we like to call “skimmers.” Skimmers are unscrupulous tuckpointers who disguise crumbling, deteriorating tuckpointing by applying a quick, thin application over existing mortar. Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry, LLC, your trusted St Louis tuckpointers and brick layers, never engage in the practice. Instead, we remove all the old, inferior mortar and apply a new layer of top-quality, long-lasting, superior mortar and we’ll let you know what you need BEFORE we start and complete the job. We care about each and every job and each every customer. We want to be the company that you recommend to your Missouri family, friends and associates.
