Chimney Rebuilds From a Local Family Crew
Rebuild inspections are often available the same day you call, and they cost nothing.
New flashing where the rebuild meets the roof
Flashing is the seal between chimney and roof, and a rebuild that reaches the roofline has to renew it. BIA's guidance runs base flashing at least 4 inches up the chimney and sets counterflashing 3/4 to 1 inch into a mortar joint, lapping the base by at least 3 inches.
Setting the counterflashing into joints as the new courses go up gives a cleaner, tighter result than cutting it into finished brick later.
Our crew builds the flashing into the rebuild and coordinates with your roofer where roofing work is involved.
Rebuilding a chimney after storm damage
Wind can pull the top off a weak chimney, and a fallen limb can crack a stack. What looks like a few missing bricks can hide loosened courses further down.
The first step is making the chimney safe, removing loose brick and covering the flue opening against rain. The rebuild follows once the damage has been assessed. Pieces that have already fallen are left where they lie until the area is safe to reach.
We set out what was damaged, what must be rebuilt and what can be repaired, in writing.
Before the first fire in a rebuilt chimney
Fresh mortar and a freshly cast crown have to cure before they take heat and weather at the same time. The materials used set how long that should be.
The fireplace should not be used until the crew confirms the rebuild is complete, the flue is clear and the connections are finished. If the flue was relined, the liner's own instructions may add first-use advice of their own.
We tell you when the fireplace is ready for use again and what to look for during the first few fires.
Rebuilding the outside and the flue together
New brick on the outside says nothing about the flue within. A damaged lining stays damaged unless the rebuild deals with it directly.
When the top is open, the flue is easy to reach, so the rebuild is the moment to replace damaged tiles or run a new liner. Leaving a damaged flue inside new brick wastes the opportunity. Doing both at once also means the new crown is built around the finished flue rather than cut open later.
We inspect the flue with every rebuild and price any flue work separately, so you can see both parts.
