Renewing the Joints, Protecting the Brick
Repointing in Harbour Island begins with a free look at every face and a written price for the joint work.
White deposits and what they say about the joints
Efflorescence, the white powder on brick, needs soluble salts, water and a path to the surface. When it keeps coming back around certain joints, it is often a sign that water is moving through them or through the brick nearby.
Our masons read those deposits as clues and look for the source before repointing. Brushing them off your Harbour Island chimney without fixing the water only means brushing them off again.
The crown and flashing are separate repairs
Joint work stops at the top course and at the roofline. Florida's residential code covers the concrete, metal or stone cap on a masonry chimney, with its drip edge, and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and each of those is its own repair with its own materials.
If the crown or flashing on your Harbour Island chimney needs attention, it appears as a separate line on the estimate. You can see exactly what the tuckpointing covers and decide on the rest yourself.
Plants and vines growing on the chimney
Ivy and other vines work their roots into mortar joints, and pulling them off can tear loose mortar and brick faces with them. Brick industry guidance is to cut vines at the base and let them wither rather than rip them away.
If your Harbour Island chimney has growth on it, tell us before the visit. We plan its removal as part of the joint work so the mortar underneath can be assessed and repaired.
Leaving sound mortar alone
Good mortar is worth keeping. Raking out joints that are still hard and firmly attached to the brick adds cost and risks chipping brick edges without making the chimney any better.
Our masons test the joints across each face of your Harbour Island chimney and repoint only the ones that have failed. You see the difference marked out before any price is set.

Free inspection first, then 10% off any service booked within 72 hours of it.
