Rebuilds backed by our warranty
Rebuilding is a big undertaking, and the warranty behind it should be clear. Every chimney rebuild our pros complete comes with our workmanship warranty, and it's done only when you're happy with how it looks and works.
Your quote shows what came down, what went back up, and the materials used, from the brick to the crown and the flashing, so the warranty is clear. Anything on the rebuild that isn't right gets a return visit from our pros. That's what our 100% satisfaction guarantee means on a job this size. Call (352) 675-6366 to plan a rebuild in Lawtey that our workmanship warranty stands behind.

Local Conditions
Water from gutters and sprinklers
A gutter that overflows onto a chimney in Lawtey, or a sprinkler that soaks its base, keeps parts of the masonry wet and wears them out faster than the rest.
Before a rebuild, our specialists point out any water sources like that, since the new masonry deserves a drier life than the old one had. Fixing the water source protects the new work.

Rebuilding to the right height
Standing tall enough to draw well and keep sparks off the roof is part of every chimney's job. The Florida Building Code sets the minimum: 3 feet above the point where it comes through the roof, and 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet.
Many older chimneys fall short, especially where a roof was raised or an addition built nearby. Our specialists measure against both parts of the rule before the rebuild is priced. If the chimney needs to be taller, the extra courses are on the quote, along with any change to the liner length. The measurements are written on the quote.
Choosing the mortar for new masonry
Mortar for a rebuild is chosen with the same care as for repointing. ASTM C270 defines the mortar types, and the Brick Industry Association advises choosing the weakest type that still meets the job's needs, since a softer mortar lets the wall move and breathe without cracking the brick.
For an exposed chimney top, that points to one of the general-purpose types rather than the strongest available. Our specialists match the choice to your brick, especially when old brick is being reused, and the type is named on your quote. Reused brick, in particular, needs a mortar no harder than itself, or the old faces will crack.
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.

FAQs
Rebuild answers for homes in Lawtey
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.
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 Lawtey at (352) 675-6366.
