Bringing the chimney up to height
Does the fireplace smoke when the wind blows from a certain direction? A chimney that's too short for the roof around it draws poorly. The Florida Building Code wants a chimney to stand 3 feet or more over its roof opening, and to rise 2 feet above any part of the house inside a 10-foot radius.
A rebuild is the time to fix that. Our specialists measure the chimney against those rules and, where it falls short, rebuild it taller. You'll see the measurements and what the added height costs before deciding. Reserve a rebuild that brings your chimney up to height in High Springs at (352) 675-6366.
According to the 2020 Census, 6,215 people lived in High Springs. High Springs sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline.

Local Conditions
Standard materials hold up inland
The maker's standard corrosion-resistant flashing and cap metals suit a rebuilt chimney in High Springs, since salt isn't wearing them down. Stainless is still an option where you'd like the extra corrosion resistance. Our pros explain the material options for each part and name them on the quote, so you choose with the tradeoffs in front of you. Galvanized, stainless and copper are all priced where they fit.
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.
Joints tooled to keep water out
How the joints are finished changes how the new chimney handles rain. The Brick Industry Association's guidance on water penetration favors concave, V and similar tooled joints, which compact the mortar surface and shed water.
Our pros tool every joint of the rebuilt section at the right moment, when the mortar is firm enough to hold the shape. Raked or struck joints that leave a ledge for water aren't used on chimney tops. Where the lower chimney has a particular joint style, the new work is tooled to match it as closely as a water-shedding profile allows. Well-tooled joints are one of the reasons a rebuilt top outlasts the one it replaced.
New flashing on the rebuilt chimney
Old flashing doesn't go back on a rebuilt chimney. It's bent from coming off, sized for the old brick, and in many cases rusted or glued on instead of set into the mortar.
New base and step flashing go in with the roofing, and new counter flashing is set into the fresh mortar joints of the rebuilt masonry, lapping over the base pieces. Where the roof covering itself needs work around the chimney, a roofer handles that part and the quote says so. Getting the flashing right is what keeps the new chimney from leaking at the roof line. The flashing metal is named on the quote.

FAQs
Rebuild questions worth asking
Will the rebuilt part match the rest?
Our pros reuse sound bricks from the section coming down and match new ones for size, color and texture. You'll see a sample against the chimney before the new courses go up.
Could a repair be enough instead?
Sometimes. Our pros price the best repair next to the rebuild and tell you how long each is likely to hold. Talk to us about your options in High Springs at (352) 675-6366.
