The first fire after a rebuild
New masonry and a new crown need time to cure before they face the heat of a fire. Lighting up too soon can crack fresh joints and the new crown.
The waiting time for your rebuild is noted on the quote, based on the mortar and crown materials used. Until then, the fireplace stays cold. Once it's cured, a small first fire lets you check that the chimney draws well, and our specialists will tell you what to look for. The first fire is a good moment to watch the new crown and cap from the yard as well. Talk to our rebuild pros about getting back to fires in East Bronson by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Vines and roots in an old chimney
Vines that climbed a chimney in East Bronson for years can leave roots deep in the joints, and they speed up the mortar failure that leads to a rebuild. Our pros clear the growth before the rebuild and repoint the lower section where roots have loosened joints, so the new top sits on sound masonry. Clearing the growth first also shows how deep the damage runs.
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.

The footing under a full rebuild
A masonry chimney is heavy, and it sits on its own footing. The Florida Building Code has that footing made of concrete or solid masonry no less than 12 inches thick, projecting 6 inches or more beyond the chimney on all sides.
If the lean starts at the ground, the footing is the first thing our specialists look at. Undersized, cracked or settled footings are why some chimneys fail from the base. On a full rebuild, the footing is checked and, where needed, replaced before any new masonry goes on it. That part of the job is priced separately. The footing's condition goes on your quote with a note of what was seen.
Does the rebuilt chimney need a cricket?
The uphill roof connection is part of planning a wide chimney rebuild. Its dimensions and position affect whether a cricket is required. Any new cricket, flashing or adjoining roof repair needs its own scope and a clear connection to the completed masonry.
If your chimney qualifies and has no cricket, a rebuild is a sensible time to add one, since the flashing is being redone anyway and the roofing around the chimney is already disturbed. Our specialists tell you whether yours qualifies on the free inspection, and your quote says who frames and roofs the cricket.
Rebuilding a chimney you won't use
Some homeowners want the chimney kept for its looks but have no plans to light fires. A rebuild still has to make it sound and watertight, since loose masonry and an open top are problems whether it's used or not.
Our specialists can rebuild it with a capped, sealed flue and talk through what it would take to bring it back into use later. The liner choice and some interior work may change if fires aren't planned, and both options are priced. The quote records what was done, which helps if a future owner wants to use the fireplace. Both paths are priced.
