Once the storm has moved on
A big storm can knock a cap loose, crack a crown or lift the flashing without leaving much to see from the ground. The damage shows up later as a leak or a draft problem.
A look at the chimney top, the flashing and the attic side after rough weather lets our specialists secure anything that's loose and price the permanent repair. If the chimney needs a temporary cover to keep rain out until the repair day, they'll tell you and price that too. Reserve a post-storm chimney repair check at your home in Rochelle by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
The weather side of the chimney
One face of a chimney takes more wind-driven rain than the others, and its mortar joints wear faster. On homes in Rochelle, that side can need repointing while the rest is still sound. Our pros check every face and price repointing by section, so you pay for the joints that need it and leave the sound ones alone. The same side is worth a closer look at each yearly visit.

Heat-rated brick and mortar for firebox repairs
The firebox lining has its own materials. The Florida Building Code calls for firebrick to recognized standards laid in medium-duty refractory mortar, with joints no thicker than a quarter inch, because ordinary mortar breaks down in that heat.
Those are the materials a firebox repair uses. Open joints get cleared out and packed with refractory mortar; cracked or crumbling firebrick is cut out and replaced. A full rebuild of the firebox walls is priced separately, and you'll see why it's needed before you decide. Repairs cure before the fireplace is used again, and you'll hear exactly how long. The firebox is left swept and clean, ready for that first small fire.
Why the order of repairs matters
Chimney repairs build on each other, from the bottom of the wall upward. Loose masonry has to be sound before a new crown goes on it. The crown has to be finished before a cap is fastened to it.
Flashing has to seal against solid mortar, or it pulls loose as the joint crumbles. Our pros plan multi-part repairs in that order, even when they're done over more than one visit, so nothing new is set on something old and failing. You'll see the order on your quote, with each step priced on its own. Skipping a step to save money now tends to cost more later, and our pros will explain why when it matters.
Resealing flashing or replacing it
Flashing that has lifted at an edge or lost its sealant can sometimes be refastened and resealed. That's a small repair, and it's worth doing when the metal itself is sound.
Metal that's rusted through, bent, cut too short or tucked behind shingles the wrong way needs replacing, and patching it only delays the leak. Our specialists check the metal on all four sides before recommending one or the other. Resealing and replacement are priced separately on the quote, with the reasons for the one we recommend. Where the roofing around the chimney has failed too, the quote names the roofer's part.
