Chimney & Fireplace Services in Mt. Lebanon, PA

There's a reason Mt. Lebanon's older homes are so admired, and their chimneys are part of that heritage. Frank & Sons specializes in caring for aging masonry across Allegheny County: repointing tired joints, restoring worn crowns, and relining flues that have served for decades.

Mt. Lebanon's stately older housing stock includes many original masonry chimneys that benefit from periodic repointing and crown care. Whatever the age or style of your home, the fundamentals of good chimney care hold true: keep water out, keep the flue clean and sound, and catch small problems before Western Pennsylvania's winters turn them into big ones.

Repointing & Masonry Care in Mt. Lebanon

With Mt. Lebanon's gracious older homes, many brick and stone, in one of the South Hills' most established communities, failing mortar joints are one of the most common things we address. Renewing them — raking out the old mortar and repacking with a compatible mix — keeps water out of the structure and can add decades to a chimney's life. On older masonry, using the right mortar matters as much as the work itself, and it's a detail we never cut corners on.

Beyond Mt. Lebanon itself, we regularly work in nearby Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, South Park, and Baldwin and the rest of the South Hills area. That familiarity with Allegheny County homes — how they're built and how our climate treats them — is part of what lets us diagnose chimney problems quickly and accurately.
