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 LaCrosse by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

What a chimney top faces in LaCrosse

No salt reaches a chimney top in LaCrosse. Rain soaking into worn joints and years of sun and heat are what break it down, along with water getting in through a failed crown or cap.

A rebuild here focuses on keeping water out: tooled joints, a crown that sheds water, a cap and flashing set into sound mortar.

Our Process

Down to sound brick, then back up

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.

Topping the rebuild with a proper crown

Every rebuild our pros finish gets a crown built the way the Florida Building Code describes for masonry chimneys: concrete, metal or stone across the top, pitched so water runs off, finished with a drip at the edge, and with a caulked joint where each flue liner passes through.

It's formed to overhang the new brick so water drips clear of the chimney face, and it's reinforced and cured properly. A flat mortar top like the one that may have helped the old chimney fail isn't an option. The crown is part of the rebuild price. A cap sized to the flue goes on right after.

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.

What shapes the price of a rebuild

No two rebuilds cost the same, and our pros explain what moves yours. How far down the sound masonry starts is the biggest factor. The number of flues, the brick match, the roof's steepness and access all add to it.

New liners or footing work add more to the total. Our specialists give each part a separate price, which shows what each adds and lets you choose between options, such as clay tile or stainless for the liner, or reused brick against new. There are no hidden fees, and a written price is the price you pay.

FAQs

Chimney rebuilds, briefly answered

Does the whole chimney have to come down?

Not necessarily. The damage can stop at the roofline, with the lower chimney still sound. Our specialists check course by course to find sound masonry, and that line sets the scope.

Can I stay in the house during the rebuild?

Yes. Most of the work is on the roof and outside. The fireplace stays out of use until the new masonry and crown have cured, and our pros keep a safe zone below the chimney.
