Courses shifting at the top of the chimney

Spotting bricks shifted out of line near the top, mortar missing from whole courses, or pieces on the roof? The top of a chimney takes every storm, and when its mortar lets go, the bricks start to loosen and can fall.

Our pros take the chimney down to where the brick is sound, relay it in fresh mortar with a matched brick, and top it with a new crown and cap. New flashing seals it where it meets the roof. Until it's done, keep the fireplace cold and people clear of that side of the house. Talk to our rebuild specialists about the loose top in Cross Creek at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Matching the brick on a rebuilt top

Brick varies a lot from one chimney to the next, and a rebuilt top in Cross Creek has to blend with the lower chimney and the house. Our pros salvage what they can, match new brick for size first, then color and texture, and show you a sample against the chimney before the new courses go up. The blend is checked in daylight before it's approved.

Our Process

Four stages of a rebuild

Find the sound line

Course by course, the chimney is checked to see how much has to come down, and that's priced.
Protect and take down

Roof and yard are protected, and the failed masonry comes down by hand.
Rebuild with liner

New courses rise with matched brick, with liners set as they go.
Top it off and flash it

A new crown, cap and flashing finish the chimney, with curing time written out.

Masonry between neighboring flues

Multiple flues need an arrangement that meets the applicable separation requirements. The number of appliances and the way they connect can affect the required detail and any exception. The rebuild scope should establish that configuration before masonry between the flues is replaced.

On a rebuild, our pros lay those partitions as the walls rise, fully mortared, with each liner set in its own space. It's one of the details that matters most on chimneys shared by a fireplace and a furnace or water heater, since exhaust crossing into the wrong flue can reach a living space. The layout of the flues is shown on your quote.

Rebuilding to the right height

Standing tall enough to draw well and keep sparks off the roof is part of every chimney's job. The Florida Building Code sets the minimum: 3 feet above the point where it comes through the roof, and 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet.

Many older chimneys fall short, especially where a roof was raised or an addition built nearby. Our specialists measure against both parts of the rule before the rebuild is priced. If the chimney needs to be taller, the extra courses are on the quote, along with any change to the liner length. The measurements are written on the quote.

Taking a chimney down safely

Demolition is where a rebuild can damage a house if it's rushed. Boards and coverings go down on the roof around the chimney, safe footing is set up, and the masonry comes down by hand, course by course.

Brick and debris come down in bags or a chute to a tarp below, rather than being thrown off the roof. The flue is covered so debris doesn't fall into the firebox. The fireplace opening inside is sealed. Each day ends with the open chimney covered against rain. It's slower than knocking it down, and it keeps the job clean and safe. Debris is hauled away as it comes down, so it doesn't pile up in the yard.

FAQs

Rebuild questions worth asking

Would your pros take on a chimney rebuild in Cross Creek?

Gladly, since Cross Creek is within our area. The free inspection shows how much has to come down before anything is priced. If the chimney is leaning, say so on the phone so our pros plan for it.

Do I need a permit for a chimney rebuild?

Generally yes, since the Florida Building Code requires one for this kind of work; your local building department sets the details and inspects. The quote says who pulls the permit and whether the fee is included.
