The thinking behind each stone repair
Matching natural stone
Natural stone varies from one source to another and even within one quarry. Weathered faces also look different from freshly cut ones. A matching stone type can still take time to blend in. In some cases, reusing sound stones from less visible faces gives the better match.
We look for stone of similar color, texture and size, and we set any new pieces where they sit best among the originals. We tell you honestly how close the match is likely to be before any new stone is ordered, so the result is not a surprise.
The workmanship warranty on stone repairs
Our stone repairs carry a workmanship warranty covering the work we performed, as described in the estimate and in the written record. We explain its terms before you approve the work. The written record shows which stones and joints the warranty covers.
It cannot cover stones or joints we did not repair, or a top or flashing you chose to leave for later. That is one more reason we list those items separately and clearly. You can see exactly what our warranty applies to and what remains outside the repair.
Stone disturbed by roof work
Roof replacement near a chimney can crack joints or dislodge stones at the base, especially when old flashing is pulled out from behind the lowest courses. Fresh roofing cement or sealant smeared on the stone is another sign that the base was disturbed, and it can block the drainage edge.
Let us know about any recent roofing work. We check the lowest courses and the flashing junction closely. Stone repairs can be timed around roofing still to come, so the stone and the new roof finish cleanly together rather than one disturbing the other.
Different metals meeting behind the stone
Put two unlike metals together in a wet, salty setting and one of them can be eaten away while the other survives. The American Galvanizers Association describes this galvanic effect for zinc-coated steel beside copper or stainless parts, and a coastal location makes it more likely. Fasteners are the usual weak point, because they are small and touch everything.
When flashing, ties or fasteners on a stone chimney near the coast need replacing, we look at what each new part will touch. Unlike metals are separated or avoided, and the materials chosen are written into the estimate.

Answers on repointing chimney stone
Can you find replacement stones that match my chimney?
Sometimes exactly, sometimes only closely. Manufactured stone lines change, and natural stone varies by source. Paperwork naming the product helps. We show you options before any new stone goes on the chimney.
Should I pull out a loose stone before it falls?
Please do not. Stones are heavier than they look and can bring others with them. Keep everyone away from the ground beneath it, let us know which face it is on, and we will look at it early in the visit.
Are free written estimates available for stone work in North Miami?
