Stone chimney repair in plain terms
Thin gaps between stone and mortar
A thin gap between a stone and the joint around it means the mortar has let go of the stone's edge. It may look minor, but water can enter there and reach the bed behind the stone.
We check how many joints show this pattern and where. A few can be raked and repointed. A widespread pattern suggests movement or a mortar that shrank badly as it cured, and we look for the reason before recommending a fix. Repointing over an unexplained cause tends to open the same gaps again.
The order of work on a stone repair
Water entry at the top or the roof junction is dealt with first. Then loose stones come off, the backing is repaired, and the drainage details at the base are restored where they have failed. Each step waits for the one before it to be sound.
Stones are reset next, joints are filled and tooled, and the mortar cures. Cleaning comes last, once the mortar is hard enough to handle it. The estimate shows that order and notes which steps depend on the weather, so the schedule makes sense before it starts.
A written stone estimate for your home in Lauderhill
Once a stone chimney in Lauderhill has been inspected, you get the estimate on paper. Resetting, replacing and repointing each carry their own price, and any backing work is listed apart. The estimate also notes anything we could not see, so you know where the price could change.
Read it at your own pace and ask questions. If you give the go-ahead within 72 hours of your free inspection, the stone work gets a 10% discount. Nothing starts until you say so, and the items you approve are the items we carry out.
Why stone is priced after a visit
Two loose stones can sound alike on the phone and need very different repairs. One may simply need resetting. The other may sit on corroded lath or soaked framing that must be repaired first. Even the stone type can be hard to judge from a description.
The free inspection replaces a guess with findings. The written estimate is based on what we saw, with notes on what remains hidden. Any change to the scope comes back to you before it happens, with its price attached.

Chimney stone questions with plain answers
Do you cover open areas if the work takes more than a day?
Yes. Before we leave each day, any area where stones are off is sheltered from rain, and removed stones are stored safely until they go back. Loose debris goes with us rather than staying on the roof.
Is there a warranty on stone chimney repair?
Our work carries a workmanship warranty. We explain its terms with the estimate, and the written record of the work lists which stones were reset, which were replaced and which joints were repointed.
Can you repair stone on a framed chimney chase?
Yes, while respecting what the stone hangs on. Stone on a framed chase relies on the sheathing, barrier and lath behind it. If the framing is damaged, that repair comes first as a separate item.
