From damaged unit to matched new brick
Matching brick size and shape
Bricks have been made in many sizes, and a replacement that is slightly too long or too thick shows at once. Brick industry guidance lists size alongside color and texture as properties the replacement should match.
We measure the existing units and look for a brick that fits the opening with normal joints. If the exact size is hard to find, we explain the options before anything is cut out. A unit that fits properly keeps the joint lines straight and the bond pattern intact.
A record of which bricks were replaced
After the work, you receive a written record listing the units replaced and where they sit on the chimney. It also notes the brick and mortar used and anything we saw that falls outside the job.
That record is useful later. If more bricks need replacing, the same brick and mortar can be sourced again. If you sell the house, it shows what was done. Keep it with your other papers about the home. It also helps a future contractor understand what is already in the wall.
Comparing brick replacement proposals
Two quotes for brick replacement can mean very different work. One may cut out damaged units, match the brick and fix the water path. Another may patch faces with mortar and apply a sealer. The prices only compare once you know which.
Ask each contractor how units are removed, how the replacement brick is matched, what mortar is used and what happens about the water source. Our written estimate answers each of those questions, which makes a fair comparison straightforward.
Homes with more than one brick chimney
A house with two chimneys may find one in good order and the other shedding pieces. Each chimney faces its own exposure and may have its own history of repairs.
Each chimney you name gets its own assessment. You can approve brick replacement on one without committing to the other. An unused chimney is still checked, because it can let water into the house just as easily as one in use. Separate estimate lines keep the reasons for each chimney clear.

What people ask about replacing bricks
Will new bricks stop water getting into the house?
They can close an entry point where broken brick lets water in. Water can also enter through the crown, flashing or joints. We explain what the brick work addresses, and a hose water test comes into it only if the job calls for one.
Does the workmanship warranty cover replaced bricks in Bayside?
Yes, the agreed brick replacement carries our workmanship warranty. The written record lists which units were replaced and where, so any question later can be checked against the work that was done.
Is spalled brick near the ground treated differently?
Brick near the ground can stay wet from the soil or from water splashing back. Brick industry guidance lists rising damp among possible causes of masonry distress. We look at drainage and plantings at the base as well as the brick itself.
