From hairline cracks to a new crown
Flashing beneath a new cast crown
Brick industry guidance highly recommends flashing under a cast-in-place crown and notes that it can also serve as the bond break. The layer separates the new concrete from the brick and helps keep water out of the wall below.
This flashing is different from the roof flashing where the chimney meets the roof. We explain both terms so your estimate does not blur them. If the roof flashing also needs work, it appears as a separate item, and the crown scope stays limited to the top.
Crown repair from a family-owned local team
Miami Chimney Repair is a family-owned, locally owned company. We explain crown findings ourselves and answer questions about the work directly. You do not have to relay questions through a chain of people to understand your chimney top.
That matters for crown repair because so much depends on judgment at the top of the chimney. We explain what we saw, why we chose a method and what it leaves out. Upfront pricing and no hidden fees mean the price you approve covers the agreed scope.
Coordinating crown work with roof work
Crown repair and roof replacement both happen at the top of the house. The order matters. New roofing damaged by crown removal, or a new crown disturbed by roofers, means repeat work for someone.
If roof work is planned, tell us the timing. We explain whether the crown should be done before or after, and how the two trades can avoid working over each other. The flashing where the chimney meets the roof often sits between the two jobs, so we clarify who handles it.
Straight cracks across the middle of the crown
A single straight crack across a crown often follows a line of stress from shrinkage or movement. It may be fine and stable, or it may widen over time. The difference shows in its edges and whether the concrete on both sides is still firm.
We look at the crack width, whether the sides sit level with each other and whether water has stained the brick below it. A stable crack in sound concrete may be filled and coated. A crack with one side lower than the other points to movement and a different repair.

Crown sealing and replacement answers
How does the inspection discount apply to crown repair?
Approve crown work in the 72 hours after your free inspection and a 10% discount applies to it. The window runs from your own inspection, and it covers any service on the estimate you book in that time.
How is debris from the old crown handled?
Broken concrete is lowered from the roof with care, and the work area is cleaned. We haul the debris away. Should the job pause with the chimney top open, we fit a cover over it before leaving and keep it there until work resumes.
Will crown work damage my roof covering?
The roof is protected where we stand, stage material and apply products. Spills are cleaned as the work proceeds. Tell us about fragile roofing before the visit so the access plan accounts for it.
