Cracks, Joints and Brick, Repaired in the Right Order
Local masonry pros who keep sound brick where it stands and repair only what has failed.
Scheduling masonry work around heat and sun
Fresh mortar needs to keep its water long enough to cure. Guidance from the National Park Service puts the working range for wall temperature at 40 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, to avoid freezing or too-fast evaporation, and favors shade over strong sun.
On a hot, bright day, masons protect finished joints and keep the work damp rather than letting it bake.
Our crew plans the work on your chimney around the weather and tells you if a day is too hot to lay mortar properly.
Solid masonry walls around the flue
Florida's residential code requires masonry chimney walls to be solid masonry units, or hollow units grouted solid, at least four inches nominal in thickness.
When a repair opens the wall, the replacement work has to meet that standard again. Hollow units left ungrouted, or a wall thinned by earlier patching, do not. Where a hidden section cannot be checked without opening more of the wall, the estimate says so plainly.
We check wall construction wherever the repair exposes it and tell you if anything falls short.
Chimney masonry and firebox masonry are different
The brick inside a fireplace firebox is firebrick set in heat-resistant mortar. The brick on the outside of the chimney is ordinary face brick set in building mortar.
The two are repaired with different materials, and mixing them up can cause failures. Firebox cracks are a fireplace repair, not a chimney masonry repair. Refractory mortar and firebrick behave differently from face brick and building mortar, which is why they are never swapped.
We keep the two separate on your estimate and explain which specialist work each part needs.
