Matching the brick you already have
Worried a rebuilt top will look like a different chimney? Brick matching is a big part of a good rebuild. Our pros look for brick that matches your chimney in size first, then color and texture, starting with salvage where it can be found.
Sound bricks from the section coming down can sometimes be cleaned and reused, which keeps the look consistent. Mortar is matched in color and the joints are tooled to the same shape as the old ones. You'll see a sample against the chimney before any brick is laid. Talk to our rebuild pros about matching your brick in Lake Butler by dialing (352) 675-6366.
We cover Lake Butler along with the rest of our Union County area. In 2020, the Census Bureau counted 1,986 people living in Lake Butler.

Local Conditions
Chimneys shared with a furnace flue
A chimney in Lake Butler that vents a furnace or water heater along with a fireplace needs a rebuild that carries every flue, with masonry between them and each lined for its appliance. Our specialists plan the flues together and set each liner as the walls rise, so exhaust from one can't cross into another. Each flue's liner is priced on its own line.
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.

Finding the line of sound masonry
A rebuild starts at the point where the chimney is still solid, and finding that point takes care. Our pros check mortar and brick course by course from the cap down, testing joints with a tool and tapping bricks to hear hollow or loose ones.
Mortar that crumbles through its full depth, bricks that shift, and cracks running through several courses all mark masonry that has to come down. Where the joints are firm and the bricks ring solid, the rebuild can start. That line sets the scope and the price, so our specialists explain where they found it and why.
Building the new walls
The new chimney walls are laid with solid brick, or hollow units grouted solid, to at least the 4-inch nominal thickness the Florida Building Code requires around the flue. Every joint is filled full, with no voids for heat or water to travel through.
Our specialists lay each course level and plumb, check the chimney stays square as it rises, and tool the joints as they go. The mortar is mixed to a type chosen for your brick and the exposure, and it's kept consistent from the first course to the last so the whole rebuilt section cures evenly. The mortar type is named on your quote.
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.
