Local pros for storm damage chimney repair in Gainesville

Look after people first once a storm passes, and keep well away from downed wires and anything overhead that seems loose. When it's safe, the chimney deserves a look: a cap in the gutter, a lifted chase cover, torn flashing or a crown split by a falling limb. Our family-run local pros check the whole top during a free visit, seal it against the next rain and repair each piece for good.

• Missing caps replaced and fastened to the flue
• Chase covers refit or made new after wind lifts them
• Torn or lifted flashing resealed where chimney meets roof
• Crowns cracked by falling limbs patched or recast
• Wind damaged chimney repair for loose top courses
• Temporary covers that keep rain out until repairs finish

1. Safety look from the ground

   Downed lines, a lean or loose brick overhead keep everyone back. Our pro studies the chimney from the yard before a ladder goes up.

Storm damage can reach more than one part, so the fix is matched to each thing the wind touched.

Replacement caps in stainless

Sized to the flue and fastened the way the cap maker's instructions describe, with the open area the code's rain cap rule requires.

Chase covers and storm collars

A cover cut to your chase and sloped to shed water, with the storm collar that closes the gap around the chimney pipe.

Metal and sealant for the roofline

Step and counter flashing reseated or replaced, sealed with a sealant the roofing maker approves for that surface.

   How many parts the storm hit

   A lost cap alone is a short visit; a cap, flashing and cracked crown together make a bigger job.

2. 02

   Temporary work first

   Covering an open flue or taping torn flashing before the permanent repair adds its own line.

3. 03

   Roof pitch and access

   Steep or tall roofs need more setup and safety gear to reach the chimney top.

   Water that got inside

   Wet framing under a chase or behind a stain may need carpentry, and the quote names who handles it.

• Chimney damage after hurricane winds, from the top of the cap to the roofline
• The cap, the mesh around it and the fasteners holding it on
• The chase cover, its seams and the storm collar
• Flashing on all four sides, checked for lifting or tears
• The crown and top brick courses, checked for impact cracks
• Signs of water inside the attic or around the fireplace

• Chimney cap blown off into the yard

  An open flue lets rain and animals straight in. Our pros cover it right away where they can, then fit a cap sized and fastened to your flue.

• Chase cover blown off or peeled back

  Wind got under its edge. We check the framing below for water, then refit or replace the cover and its storm collar.

• New water stain since the storm

  Wind-driven rain found a gap at the flashing, crown or cap. We trace the entry and seal it before the permanent repair.

• A limb came down on the chimney

  Impact can crack the crown, loosen top bricks or shift the whole chimney. Our pros confirm it's stable before anyone works near it.

• Chimney Repair Damage anywhere on the chimney traced to its cause and repaired.
• Smoke Chamber Repair Rough, stepped or cracked brick above the damper parged smooth again.
