Our approach to chimney reconstruction
A stack that has moved
Some chimneys tip, twist or pull away from the house. The movement may come from the footing, from a failed attachment to the house or from the top section breaking loose from the masonry below.
A rebuild that simply relays the top on a moving base would not last. We look at where the movement starts and whether it continues below the roof. If the cause lies in the structure, we explain what should be assessed first. The rebuild is then planned around what that assessment finds.
When only the top needs work
Sometimes the masonry is sound and the problem is the crown alone: cracks, a missing overhang or a flat mortar wash. In that case, chimney crown repair addresses the top without taking any brick down.
We check the top courses under the crown before suggesting a crown-only repair. If they are loose or soaked, the crown and the courses below may need to be handled together. The estimate explains which case applies. A crown repair is a far smaller job than a rebuild, so it is worth ruling in or out first. We tell you plainly which way the evidence points.
A rebuild raised during a home sale
A home inspection sometimes recommends that a chimney be evaluated for rebuilding. That note rarely says how much of the chimney is affected or what the work would include.
We look at the chimney and explain whether a rebuild is warranted, how far it would go and what it would include. Each stage is priced separately, which helps buyer and seller discuss it. Once the work is done, the written record can travel with the sale paperwork. We can also explain the findings to the other party's contractor if you wish.
Rebuild work at the roof in Broward County
Homes in Broward County sit inside the zone the Florida Building Code calls the HVHZ. Its roofing sections for that zone govern how roof covering and flashing are laid there. A rebuild that reaches the roof line typically disturbs both around the chimney.
Before approving, ask which of those HVHZ rules touch the base flashing and covering on your house. Our estimate splits the junction into the masonry and counterflashing we build and the covering a roofer resets, so both halves are planned to that standard.
What the rebuild scope can include
- New brick matched to the lower courses
- Mortar chosen for chimney exposure
- Sample panel for brick and mortar
- Uncovered damage shown before the scope grows
Chimney reconstruction questions answered
What happens to the flue lining during a rebuild?
The lining is rebuilt with the masonry, either as new clay flue tiles set as the courses rise or as a listed liner. The choice depends on the appliance connected, and it is priced as its own line.
Can the rebuild be split into stages?
Partly. Loose masonry can be made safe first and the rebuild scheduled later. Once removal starts, though, the section is usually rebuilt in one sequence, so the chimney is not left open.
What should I have ready before the rebuild visit in Pembroke Pines?
A way into the room with the fireplace, a route to the part of the yard under the chimney and, if possible, attic access. Records of earlier repairs and any roof plans help us set the boundary and the order of work.
