Righteous Chimney & Masonry provides expert chimney and masonry restoration in Shaker Heights, OH — caring for the grand Tudors, Georgians, and slate-roofed estates around Shaker Lakes, Fernway, and Lomond with rebuilds, tuck pointing, and relining.
Shaker Heights is one of America's first planned garden suburbs, and its homes show it: large, architect-designed Tudors, Georgians, and English colonials from the 1920s, many with slate or tile roofs and multiple substantial masonry chimneys. This is some of the most demanding — and rewarding — masonry work in the region.
The signature challenge in Shaker is doing chimney work on steep slate and tile roofs without damaging an irreplaceable roof. We flash and reflash chimneys against slate carefully, rebuild crowns and the brick above the roofline, and repoint tall stacks that have weathered a century of Northeast Ohio winters. The masonry here was built to a high standard originally, and we restore it to match.
From the homes around the Shaker Lakes to the Fernway, Lomond, Moreland, and Mercer neighborhoods, we handle full-service chimney care: sweeping and Level 2 inspections on well-used fireplaces, stainless relining for cracked clay flues, and historically appropriate tuck pointing on brick and stone. Many of these homes have strict expectations for how restoration looks — and we deliver work that fits.
In Shaker Heights, homeowners most often call us for chimney repair & rebuilds, tuck pointing & repointing, chimney liners & relining. Here's everything we offer locally:

A 1927 Tudor near the Shaker Lakes had a chimney rebuilt poorly years earlier, with mismatched brick and flashing that leaked onto the slate. We rebuilt the stack above the roofline with matching brick, installed proper step flashing into the slate, and recrowned it — stopping the leak and restoring the home's look.

Another company tried to sell me a full chimney rebuild. Righteous came out, ran a camera inspection, showed me the actual flue, and said all I needed was a sweep and a new cap. Saved me thousands. This is who I'll call from now on.
Two roofers couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. Righteous found it was the chimney crown and flashing, rebuilt the crown, reflashed, and waterproofed it. Dry through the whole winter for the first time in years.
Our brick was crumbling at the joints. They repointed the whole chimney and a section of wall with mortar that actually matches the original. You can't tell where the new work starts. Craftsmanship you don't see much anymore.
Swept the chimney, inspected it, and walked me through everything with photos. Showed up on time, laid down drop cloths, left zero mess. Fair price, no upselling. Exactly how it should be done.
Yes — this is one of our specialties in Shaker Heights. Working on slate and tile roofs requires care and the right techniques to avoid cracking irreplaceable tiles. We flash, rebuild, and repair chimneys on these roofs while protecting the roof itself.
We make matching a priority. Shaker Heights homes were built to a high standard, and a mismatched repair stands out. We source brick and stone to match and use mortar that matches the original color and joint profile.
Yes. Many Shaker Heights homes have several fireplaces and multiple flues. We sweep, inspect, and service each one, and advise on which are safe for regular use and which older flues are best capped.
