Sealing and Rebuilding Chimney Crowns
Across Port Tampa, our family crew seals or rebuilds crowns once the roof-level inspection shows which one fits.
Filling wider cracks before anything goes on top
Cracks wider than a hairline are filled or repaired before a crown coating goes on, as crown sealer product data directs. Loose edges are cut back to sound material, and any piece that moves under a hand is removed instead of being glued in place.
Our pros show you the cracks that set the scope and explain which ones a patch can handle and which point to a crown that has reached the end of its life. That judgment is part of the free inspection, and you decide which path to take.
Precast crowns as an option
A crown does not have to be cast on the roof. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 19B reports that precast chimney caps generally perform better than cast-in-place ones, and it describes setting them on a mortar bed with a bond break between the brickwork and the setting bed. A precast crown is made at ground level, cured properly and lifted into place.
Precast does not suit every chimney. Odd shapes, several flues or tight roof access can make casting in place the practical choice. Our pros tell you which method suits your chimney and why, with a price for each where both are possible.
The brick right under a failing crown
The top courses of brick sit directly under the crown and take whatever water it lets through. Spalled faces, loose bricks and open mortar joints near the top of the chimney often point to a crown that has been leaking for a while. Rebuilding the crown without repairing those courses leaves the new top sitting on a weak base.
Our pros check the top of the masonry when the old crown comes off and quote any brick or joint repair it needs on its own line. The new crown then goes onto solid work, which is what lets it do its job.
Crown repairs built to shed water
Crown work is only worth paying for once. Our local, family-owned team builds each crown to the details that make it shed water, which means slope, overhang, a drip edge and a bond break at every flue. Our workmanship warranty covers each repair, and so does our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The free inspection tells you exactly what your crown needs, and crown work booked within 72 hours of it is 10% off. You approve the plan and the price before anything starts.
