Masonry repair while the roof is open

Roofers booked for your house? That's a good moment to fix the chimney masonry above the roofline, before the new flashing is set against it. Flashing sealed into crumbling joints won't hold for long.

Our pros repoint and repair the brick first, then the flashing and roofing go on around a sound chimney. They'll coordinate with your roofer so the timing works and each trade's part is clear on the quote. It saves setting up on the roof twice. The flashing then seals into firm mortar that will hold it for years. Talk to our masonry specialists about your reroof in Trenton by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Old repairs with hard mortar

Spotted an old patch of hard gray cement mortar on your chimney in Trenton? It stands out, and where it's stronger than the brick, it can crack and flake the brick beside it. Our specialists check old patches for that damage and redo them with a mortar matched to your brick where they're causing harm. The redone joints are matched in color to the original mortar around them.

Raking joints to a sound depth

Repointing only lasts if the new mortar has something solid to bond to and enough depth to hold. That means raking out the old mortar until the tool meets firm material, and cleaning the joint of dust and loose grit.

Our pros use hand tools or careful grinding, depending on the joint and the brick, and they avoid cutting into the brick edges, which widens the joint and changes the look. Joints that are only surface-scraped and topped with a thin smear of new mortar fail within a few seasons. The depth they rake to is worked out for your joints each time.

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.

Finding a brick that blends in

A replacement brick has to fit in three ways. It has to be the same size, so the joints around it line up. It has to be similar in how much water it absorbs, so it weathers alongside the bricks around it. And it has to be close in color and texture, so it doesn't stand out.

Salvaged brick is the first place to look, since it has already weathered, and new brick that matches closely comes next. You'll see a sample against the wall in daylight before any cutting starts. When an exact match can't be found, you'll see the closest options and choose.

FAQs

Common masonry questions in Trenton

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.

Do you repair stone chimneys?

Yes. Natural stone is repointed with a mortar softer than the stone, and manufactured stone veneer is repaired following the maker's installation guide.
