Selling, and the crown on the inspector's list

Home inspectors look at chimney crowns, and a cracked one ends up on the buyer's list. Fixing it before listing keeps it off the negotiation table. Getting it on the list now lets you plan the work on your own schedule.

A free look at the crown tells you the fix a buyer's inspector would expect to see, priced so you can decide before the listing goes up. A sealed or rebuilt crown comes with the paperwork showing what was done, with our workmanship warranty on the work. Ask a local pro about the crown before you sell your home in High Springs by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Getting the crown done with a reroof

Replacing the roof on your home in High Springs? The crown is easiest to repair while the roof is being worked on, and the new flashing will seal against a chimney that's already sound. Our pros coordinate with your roofer so the crown work is finished and cured before the new flashing and roofing go on around the chimney. That order keeps the new flashing sealing against sound masonry.

Our Process

Your crown, read before it's repaired

Read every crack

Our pros sort the cracks, check the slope, edge and flue seals, and look for rust inside.
Choose seal or rebuild

You see a coating, a patch and a new crown priced side by side where each fits.
Repair in the right weather

Coatings go on dry crowns; new crowns get forms, reinforcement, slope and a drip edge.
Cure and show you

The crown is covered to cure, flue joints are sealed, and you get the waiting time written out.

A flexible joint at each flue tile

The flue tile and the crown heat and cool at different rates, and the tile gets much hotter. If the concrete is poured tight against the tile, one cracks the other as they move. That's why the Florida Building Code asks for a caulked separation at each liner, following ASTM C1283.

Our pros wrap each tile with a bond-breaking material before pouring, then finish the joint with a backer rod and flexible sealant after the concrete sets. On an existing crown with rigid mortar packed against the tile, they cut it out and make the same flexible joint. The sealant is named on the quote.

Crowns and caps work as a pair

The crown keeps water out of the brick; the cap keeps it out of the flue. Either one failing lets water into the chimney, and one can damage the other. A cap fastened into a cracked crown won't hold, and a crown without a cap lets rain run down every flue.

So every crown job includes the cap too. Doing the crown and fitting or refitting the cap on the same visit saves a second setup on the roof. An outside-mount cap that covers the whole crown also shelters the concrete from rain, and that option is priced alongside a single-flue cap.

When patching a crown stops making sense

Patching works on a crown that's sound apart from a few cracks. It doesn't work on a crown that's flat, feathered at the edges, cracked right through in several places or breaking loose from the brick.

Our specialists weigh the crown's shape, thickness and how many cracks run through it before recommending a patch. When the cost of patching gets close to a new crown, or the patch would only buy a season or two, they'll say so and price both. You decide, with the numbers side by side and the reasons noted on the quote. Neither choice is pushed on you.

FAQs

Crown questions from homeowners in High Springs

Can a cracked crown be sealed instead of replaced?

If the cracks are hairline or a few open ones in an otherwise sound crown, yes, with a fill and a flexible coating. Loose pieces, a flat top or cracks right through mean a new crown. Our specialists price both where both could work.

Does crown repair come with a warranty?

Yes, our workmanship warranty covers the crowns we seal or rebuild, and the quote records exactly what was done. Reserve your free crown inspection in High Springs at (352) 675-6366.
