Rebuilding while the roof is being replaced

Is a new roof going on the house? That's the best time to rebuild a failing chimney top. The roofers need a sound chimney to flash against, and rebuilding afterwards means disturbing the new roofing.

Our specialists coordinate with your roofer so the chimney is rebuilt, the crown is poured and the counter flashing is set into the new brick before the roofing goes back on around it. Your quote says which parts are ours and which are the roofer's, so the handoff is clean. Reserve a rebuild timed with your reroof in Yankeetown by phoning (352) 675-6366.

The Gainesville reference point is roughly 51 miles from Yankeetown as the crow flies. In our service area, Yankeetown is grouped with Levy County.

Local Conditions

Brick choice for a coastal rebuild

Brick on a chimney top in Yankeetown takes salt and spray as well as rain, and brick that soaks up a lot of water suffers as salt crystallizes inside it.

Picking new brick for a rebuild, our specialists weigh absorption as well as color and size, and they won't reuse salvaged bricks that are already flaking from salt damage.

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.

Does the rebuilt chimney need a cricket?

The uphill roof connection is part of planning a wide chimney rebuild. Its dimensions and position affect whether a cricket is required. Any new cricket, flashing or adjoining roof repair needs its own scope and a clear connection to the completed masonry.

If your chimney qualifies and has no cricket, a rebuild is a sensible time to add one, since the flashing is being redone anyway and the roofing around the chimney is already disturbed. Our specialists tell you whether yours qualifies on the free inspection, and your quote says who frames and roofs the cricket.

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.

FAQs

Rebuild questions worth asking

What paperwork comes with a rebuild?

What happens to the old brick and debris?
