What's Included

Veneer, joint and stone repairs for Casselberry chimneys

Resetting natural stone in its bed

A natural stone that has worked loose is lifted out, its old bed and the joints around it are cleaned back to sound mortar, and it is reset in fresh mortar suited to the stone. The joints are packed full and tooled to match the rest of the wall. Stones that are cracked through are replaced with pieces of similar size, color and texture.

Replacement stone is shown to you before it is used. The inspection by our family-owned team in Casselberry is free.

Sprinklers and downspouts at the base

Frequent water contact is one of the cautions in the veneer installation guide, which names sprinklers that spray directly on the stone and downspouts that keep it wet. A sprinkler head aimed at the chimney every morning keeps the lower courses soaked. Moving the head or the downspout costs little and protects the repair.

We point out anything like that during the inspection. Our family-owned team repairs the damage it has caused in Casselberry and quotes it upfront.

Soft sheathing behind the veneer

When water has been getting behind manufactured stone on a framed chase, the sheathing and framing underneath can soften long before the face shows it. Pressing on the veneer may give a little, or stones near a wet spot may sound hollow. We open the area, replace any soft wood and rebuild the barrier and lath before the stone goes back.

You see what we find before the work grows. Call (645) 465-4122 for a free stone chimney inspection in Casselberry.

A price written part by part

Stone chimney estimates can hide a lot in one line. Ours name each stone to be reset or replaced, the joints to be repointed, any backing, barrier or weep screed work, and separate items such as flashing or the chase cover. You can see what each part covers and decide what to do now and what can wait.

In Casselberry, our family-owned team works with upfront pricing and no hidden fees.

Old mortar smeared over the stone

Earlier repairs sometimes left mortar spread across the faces of the stones, wider than the joints and often in the wrong color. It traps dirt, hides the stone and can hold water against it. Where it can be removed without damage, we clean it back to the true joint line with hand tools and repoint the joint properly.

The stone looks like stone again. Our family-owned team shows homeowners in Casselberry what can be recovered before quoting.
