What is Crown Coat and how does it work?

We describe Crown Coat as a grey, durable, and rubberized paint. It’s a chemical formula designed to bind to masonry cement and endure adverse weather. It repairs damaged chimney crowns by stopping leaks that would eventually result in major degradation. (A crown is the cement slab that sits at the very top of your masonry chimney, protecting the brick and mortar beneath from water entry.) Midtown Chimney Sweeps’s Crown Coat product waterproofs your chimney’s top, causing water to shed off the chimney crown. This benefits older chimneys, which otherwise fall into disrepair quickly and then require expensive masonry work. As an extra comfort to you, Crown Coat comes with a 15-year warranty.

Why Should I Have a Midtown Technician Do My Crown Coat Work?

When your chimney show signs of deterioration (such as that the mortar joints are worn away by the weather), you need to have the masonry repaired with Crown Coat. That product is commercially available so Midtown professionals can purchase it and protect the top of your chimney. Don’t take a risk by climbing a ladder to perform the work yourself. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians take secure their ladders and prepare for the ascent, taking only the necessary tools up with them.

Bricks have varying degrees of hardness and water permeability, and the same is true for mortar and the masonry crown. Avoid pursuing a total crown replacement if your chimney is structurally sound and only requires special coating. Crown Coat is made in the United States, so you can enjoy the fact that you’re supporting companies owned by fellow Americans. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians are specially trained and have the Qualified Chimney Professionals credential to qualify for working on chimneys with these issues.

Advantages of Crown Coat:

  • Fills cracks, gaps, and voids; the entire crown will be coated and weather-tight.
  • Stops crack formation that results in chimney leaks.
  • Prevents further need for chimney and fireplace repairs.
  • Helps to restore and preserve the chimney’s integrity.

Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians are trained and equipped for applying Crown Coat properly. They have experience in working on all kinds of chimneys, whether older or newer, residential or commercial. No matter when your residence was built, Midtown technicians will promptly repair your chimney with the right products.

We are very pleased with the fireplace installation and masonry work done by Midtown Chimney and Fireplace Store. We had a wood burning insert that was no longer code compliant and Byron educated us on the new code and helped us with a turn-key installation. Other companies gave us bids, but did want to include any masonry work. Chris was very attentive to doing everything right! Thank you, Byron . . . We finished just in time for the incoming storms!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you Jeff for sharing your positive experience with Byron and Chris! Byron is a true professional and always happy to share his knowledge! Glad everything was completed in time for you to enjoy your new wood burning insert this winter season!

We had Byron from Midtown chimney fireplace store how to clean our open style wood burning fireplace.He did a good job cleaning it. Although it sounds like we need to have some creosote removed and maybe crown coat at the top but he was nice to work with .He also mentioned a woodburning insert with a $2000 tax credit possible so I might be interested in getting a woodburning insert with a full length insulated liner.
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, Adam! Always happy to share our knowledge! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or anything is needed. Thanks again and please take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Byron was awesome! They took our damaged 1963 midcentury block fireplace and turned it into the centerpiece of our home with a new regency insert. Tax credit, comfort and resiliency in case of power outage - this thing heats our 2200sf house no problem at the coldest temps in south boulder

We had Monty from Midtown Chimney Sweeps come to our house today and do a thorough inspection and cleaning of our main chimney. Monty's time and expertise was well worth the price, inspecting any and all connection points inside the chimney with a camera, cleaning out the chimney, and explaining how to best operate it moving forward. We had used a different company before which took 20min w/ an amazon drill for a similar price and we were hesitant to try it again. After this experience, I'll stick w/ MCS from here on out. Well worth the price if you want to make sure your fireplace is safe to use for the winter!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Alex! We truly appreciate your time sharing your positive experience with Monty! Happy to be of knowledgeable and thorough service! Looking forward to next year's cleaning! Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is needed in the meantime, take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
