A new liner as part of the rebuild
Taking a chimney down exposes the flue liner inside it, and that's the right moment to replace it if it's cracked or missing. Clay tile can be set as the new chimney goes up, or a stainless liner listed for the appliance can be fitted through the rebuilt section.
Which one suits your fireplace, insert or furnace is explained up front, following the Florida Building Code's rules for how liners are set. The liner has its own price on the rebuild quote. Doing it now saves relining a new chimney later. Speak with our specialists about the flue in your rebuild in Spring Ridge at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Ground movement under an inland chimney
Every masonry chimney in Spring Ridge 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.

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.
Taking a chimney down safely
Demolition is where a rebuild can damage a house if it's rushed. Boards and coverings go down on the roof around the chimney, safe footing is set up, and the masonry comes down by hand, course by course.
Brick and debris come down in bags or a chute to a tarp below, rather than being thrown off the roof. The flue is covered so debris doesn't fall into the firebox. The fireplace opening inside is sealed. Each day ends with the open chimney covered against rain. It's slower than knocking it down, and it keeps the job clean and safe. Debris is hauled away as it comes down, so it doesn't pile up in the yard.
Rebuilding in step with a new roof
Rebuild work and a new roof go best together. The roofers need the chimney sound and its crown finished before they flash around it, and our pros need the roof open to rebuild at the roofline.
Our pros schedule the rebuild so the masonry and crown are done, and the counter flashing set into the new brick, when the roofers reach the chimney. The base and step flashing go in with the new roofing. The quote splits the work clearly, and our specialists talk with your roofer so nothing is missed between the two jobs. That conversation happens before either job starts.

FAQs
Rebuild questions worth asking
Can you coordinate with my roofing company?
We can. Our specialists rebuild the chimney and set the counter flashing, and a roofer handles the roof covering. The quote splits the work and we coordinate the timing.
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 Spring Ridge at (352) 675-6366.
