Courses shifting at the top of the chimney
Spotting bricks shifted out of line near the top, mortar missing from whole courses, or pieces on the roof? The top of a chimney takes every storm, and when its mortar lets go, the bricks start to loosen and can fall.
Our pros take the chimney down to where the brick is sound, relay it in fresh mortar with a matched brick, and top it with a new crown and cap. New flashing seals it where it meets the roof. Until it's done, keep the fireplace cold and people clear of that side of the house. Talk to our rebuild specialists about the loose top in Trenton at (352) 675-6366.
We cover Trenton along with the rest of our Gilchrist County area. In 2020, the Census Bureau counted 2,015 people living in Trenton.

Local Conditions
Water from gutters and sprinklers
A gutter that overflows onto a chimney in Trenton, 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.

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.
Salvaging and matching brick
The best match for your chimney's brick can be your chimney's brick. As the damaged section comes down, sound bricks are set aside, cleaned of old mortar and checked for cracks and flaking.
Our specialists reuse the good ones on the most visible faces and fill in with salvaged or new brick matched in size, color and texture. Bricks that have spalled or soaked through aren't reused, since they'd fail again. You'll see how the blend looks against the lower chimney before the rebuild goes up. The count of new brick needed is on the quote. Salvage keeps the look consistent and cuts down on waste.
New flashing on the rebuilt chimney
Old flashing doesn't go back on a rebuilt chimney. It's bent from coming off, sized for the old brick, and in many cases rusted or glued on instead of set into the mortar.
New base and step flashing go in with the roofing, and new counter flashing is set into the fresh mortar joints of the rebuilt masonry, lapping over the base pieces. Where the roof covering itself needs work around the chimney, a roofer handles that part and the quote says so. Getting the flashing right is what keeps the new chimney from leaking at the roof line. The flashing metal is named on the quote.

FAQs
Chimney rebuilds, briefly answered
Do I need a permit for a chimney rebuild?
Generally yes, since the Florida Building Code requires one for this kind of work; your local building department sets the details and inspects. The quote says who pulls the permit and whether the fee is included.
What happens to the old brick and debris?
Sound bricks may be cleaned and reused. Everything else comes down in bags or a chute and is hauled away. The roof, gutters and yard are cleaned at the end.
