Selling a house with a failing chimney

Listing a home with a chimney that's crumbling above the roof? A buyer's inspector will flag it, and a failing chimney can stall a sale or knock down the price.

After a free inspection, you'll know whether a rebuild or a repair is what a buyer would expect to see, with both priced. A rebuilt chimney comes with the paperwork showing what was done, and our workmanship warranty behind the work. Doing it before listing puts you in control of the cost. Speak with a local pro about the chimney before you sell in Island Grove at (352) 675-6366.

In our service area, Island Grove is grouped with Alachua County. Island Grove sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline.

Local Conditions

Ground movement under an inland chimney

Every masonry chimney in Island Grove rests on its own footing, and if the ground under it settles unevenly, the whole chimney can lean. Rebuilding the top won't fix a failing base. Our specialists check whether the lean starts at the footing or above the roof before pricing anything, so the rebuild addresses the real cause. A footing problem calls for a full rebuild, priced in stages.

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.

When the rebuild goes to the ground

Sometimes the whole chimney has to come down. A failing footing, a chimney leaning from its base, or masonry that's crumbling all the way down leaves no sound section to build on.

A full rebuild means taking the chimney down course by course, checking or replacing the footing, and building the new chimney up with its liner, clearances and fireblocking to the Florida Building Code. It's the biggest job our pros take on, and it's planned carefully with you, from the permit to the protection of your house and yard. You'll see every stage priced. The footing work alone can be a separate stage on the schedule.

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.

What the building department may ask for

Rebuilding a chimney counts as construction, so Florida's permit rules apply, and your county or city building office decides the specifics, reviews the plans where it asks for them, and inspects the work.

Before approving the estimate, establish who is responsible for the application, which inspection stages are expected and which charges are included. A smaller repair may be treated differently from a rebuild. The responsible department's requirements should guide the work sequence and any expected waiting time.

FAQs

Rebuild questions worth asking

Would your pros take on a chimney rebuild in Island Grove?

Gladly, since Island Grove 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.

Is a new liner part of the rebuild?

Where the liner is cracked or missing, yes, and it gets its own price. Clay tile can be set as the walls rise, or a stainless liner listed for your appliance can be fitted.
