Flaky brick faces and bits on the lawn
Seeing brick faces break away in thin sheets, or finding pieces on the roof or ground? That's water in the brick doing damage, and the worst spots tend to be near the top, where the chimney takes the most weather.
Damaged bricks get cut out, replacements matched as closely as possible in size and color go in, and the joints around them are repointed. Our pros also look for why the water got in, since new brick in a wet wall won't last either. You'll get the replacement count and the price up front. Talk to our masonry specialists about the flaking in Starke by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Overflowing gutters beside the chimney
One overflowing gutter next to the chimney can keep a section of brick soaked on a home in Starke every time it rains. The damage is easy to miss until the mortar starts crumbling. Our pros look at where the gutters drain around the chimney and point out any sending water onto the masonry, then repair the soaked section once the water is redirected.

Matching new mortar to old brick
Repointing should suit the masonry already present. The existing brick and mortar, exposure and repair purpose all influence the replacement mix. A stronger product is not automatically a better choice, and appearance matching needs discussion before a large area is repaired.
A mix that's too strong looks fine for a while, then the brick faces next to it start to crack and flake. Our pros look at the brick and the old mortar before choosing a mix, rake the joints to a sound depth, and tool the new mortar to shed water.
Repairs worth booking soon
Next come the repairs that aren't dangerous today but get more expensive the longer they wait. Most are about keeping water out, since water is what turns a small repair into a big one.
Getting these done before the next heavy rains keeps the chimney from sliding toward the stop list. Our pros price each one separately so you can do them in the order that suits you:
- A crown with open cracks or loose pieces
- A missing, loose or badly rusted cap
- Flashing that has lifted or lost its sealant
- Mortar joints recessed deep enough to hold water
- A damper that no longer seals
Gutters and downspouts near the chimney
A gutter that overflows next to a chimney, or a downspout that dumps water against its base, keeps the lower brick soaked. Wet brick wears faster, mortar washes out, and efflorescence shows up in white streaks.
During a repair visit, the gutters around the chimney get a look, and you'll hear about any that are sending water onto the masonry. Clearing or redirecting them can be a simple job for you or your gutter company. The chimney repair itself, such as repointing the soaked section, is priced separately. Fixing the brick without fixing the water only brings the damage back.

FAQs
Repair questions, short answers
Can small repairs be done on the same visit?
In many cases, yes. Small jobs like resealing flashing or refastening a cap can be done during the inspection visit if you approve the price on the spot. Bigger repairs are scheduled so the right materials come along.
Is the inside of the fireplace part of chimney repair?
It is. Firebox joints and firebrick, dampers and smoke chambers get repaired along with the chimney outside. Each part is priced on its own line.
