From removal to new crown, a full rebuild
Why many rebuilds start above the roof
The chimney above the roof has no shelter. Rain, sun and wind reach it on every side, and water that gets past the top soaks its upper courses first. The brick industry notes that chimneys may need repairs sooner than ordinary walls for that reason.
That is why many rebuilds are partial and start near the roof line. The masonry lower down, protected by the roof and the house, often stays sound. We check it before assuming it is, and the estimate says where the evidence puts the start of the rebuild.
What the warranty covers on a rebuilt stack
Our workmanship warranty stands behind the rebuild work we agree and complete. That means the courses we laid, the crown we formed and the parts we fitted, as described on the estimate.
The masonry below the removal line was not rebuilt, so it sits outside that warranty, as does work by other trades such as the roof covering. Ask what the warranty means for your particular rebuild before you approve it. Keep the estimate and the completed work details together in case a question comes up.
Children, pets and a rebuild in progress
A rebuild means heavy material moving overhead for several days. Children and pets should stay well back from the working side of the house, and we agree with you which doors and paths stay open.
We set up barriers where they help and keep the work area tidy at the end of each day. Tell us about daily routines that the work might affect, such as a school run past the chimney, so we can plan around them. At the end of the job, barriers and protection come down with the rest of our equipment.
A bulge in the chimney face
A face that bulges outward means the masonry has moved out of line. The brick industry lists masonry pushed out of plane among the signs of a structural problem, not routine wear.
A bulging section cannot be pushed back into place, and repointing it only fills its joints in the wrong position. We explain how far the bulge extends and whether rebuilding that section, and assessing its cause, is needed. Keep clear of the area below in the meantime. The estimate records where the bulge sits and how far it runs.

Questions people raise about a rebuild in Sunny Isles Beach
Can I use the fireplace while the rebuild is under way?
No. The fireplace stays out of use during the rebuild and while the new masonry cures. We tell you when it can be lit again, based on the materials used and the weather.
What happens if it rains during the rebuild?
Open work stays covered, and fresh mortar is protected from heavy rain. Steps that need dry weather move to a suitable day, and the scope and price stay the same.
Do you rebuild factory-built metal chimneys in brick?
No. A factory-built chimney is a listed system and is repaired with the parts its maker specifies. Rebuilding applies to masonry chimneys, and we tell you which kind you have on the visit.
