Painted brick that's peeling

Painted the chimney years ago and now the paint is bubbling and flaking off? Paint on brick can trap moisture inside the wall, and when it can't escape, it pushes the paint off and damages the brick faces underneath.

Under the peeling paint, the brick and joints get checked first; our pros repair what the trapped water has damaged, and talk you through your options for the finish. A breathable coating made for masonry lets water vapor out, where ordinary paint doesn't. The repairs and the finish are priced separately. Talk to our masonry specialists about the painted chimney in High Springs by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Trimmers and mowers at the base

String trimmers and mowers working close to the chimney on a home in High Springs can chip brick edges and wear the lowest mortar joints over the years. Our pros repoint and repair the base where it's been nicked, and a strip of mulch or gravel around the chimney keeps the equipment back. Chipped brick at the base is replaced or patched to match.

New mortar that stays softer than the brick

On strength, the Brick Industry Association's repointing guidance is clear: the new mortar shouldn't be any stronger in compression than what's already in the wall. A stronger mortar concentrates stress at the brick's edges and faces.

Over time, that stress cracks and spalls the brick next to the joint, and the damage is worse than the worn mortar ever was. Our specialists match the new mortar to the old in strength as well as color, and they'll explain why the strongest mix isn't the best one for your chimney. It's a mistake our pros see on old repairs again and again, and an easy one to avoid.

Spot repairs against whole sections

Not every chimney needs repointing top to bottom. Wear concentrates on the weather side, at the top courses and around flashing, while sheltered faces can stay sound for years longer.

Our specialists map the worn joints face by face and price repointing by section. Spot repairs make sense where wear is patchy and the surrounding mortar is solid. When most of a face has gone soft, doing the whole face gives a more even result and saves returning in a year for the next patch. You'll see both approaches priced where both are reasonable. The sections are marked on a sketch that goes with your quote.

Stone chimneys and stone veneer

Natural stone chimneys have wide, irregular joints, and the mortar in them does more work than in brick. Our specialists repoint them with a mortar suited to the stone, softer than the stone itself, and tool it to match the existing look, whether raked back or brushed flush.

Manufactured stone veneer is a different system, with a water barrier and drainage behind the stone set by the maker's installation guide. Loose or cracked veneer is repaired following that guide, since patching it like solid stone can trap water behind it. You'll hear which kind you have before any work is priced.

FAQs

What people ask about chimney brick

Who handles chimney masonry repair in High Springs?

Our pros do. High Springs is inside our Alachua County coverage, and each face of the chimney gets checked for free before any repair is priced. Soft joints or flaking brick are worth mentioning on the phone.

Are stair-step cracks serious?

They mean the masonry has moved. If the movement has stopped, the crack can be repointed. If it's still moving, the cause comes first, and our specialists check which you have.
