Your Local Masonry & Chimney Contractor in Tuscarawas County
Chim-Line Masonry is an owner-operated masonry and chimney contractor serving Tuscarawas County, OH. We're based in Wooster, and Tuscarawas County sits southeast of us, so reaching New Philadelphia, Dover, Uhrichsville, Sugarcreek, and Dennison is a routine trip for our crew.
Owner and craftsman Merle Hochstedler handles brick repair and replacement, tuckpointing and mortar matching, chimney repair, chimney rebuilds, stone masonry, retaining walls, and fireplace work across the county. Tuscarawas County has deep masonry roots, from the brick downtowns of New Philadelphia and Dover to Uhrichsville's clay-and-tile history, and that older brick deserves repairs done carefully rather than rushed. We give straight answers, fair pricing, and we never push work you don't need.
Call (419) 971-7166 for a free estimate. We'll come out, look at the real condition of your brick, mortar, or chimney, and tell you honestly what it needs.
Preserving the Brick Heritage of the Tuscarawas Valley
Tuscarawas County grew up on masonry. New Philadelphia, the county seat, and neighboring Dover both have classic brick downtowns lined with 19th-century storefronts, and Uhrichsville earned the nickname 'Clay City' for its long history of making brick and tile. With the Ohio & Erie Canal heritage and the reconstructed Schoenbrunn historic village nearby, this is a place that takes its building history seriously. A lot of that brick has stood for more than a century, but old soft brick and lime-based mortar need period-appropriate repair, not modern shortcuts. We take real pride in matching original mortar color, texture, and joint profile so tuckpointing and brick replacement blend in instead of standing out like a patch.
Northeast Ohio's 30 to 65 freeze-thaw cycles a year are tough on this older masonry. Water seeps into hairline cracks and tired mortar joints, then freezes and expands, leaving spalling brick faces, crumbling joints, leaning chimneys, white efflorescence, leaks, and failed chimney crowns. On the older homes and storefronts around New Philadelphia, Dover, and Sugarcreek, that damage usually starts at the crown and the upper courses where the weather hits hardest. We fix the cause, not just the symptom, so the repair holds up through the next round of Ohio winters.
