Chimney Repair
Repairing the chimney as one system
Brick, stucco and metal chimneys across Fern Park are repaired by our family-owned team, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees later.
Caps sized to the flue
A cap stops rain from dropping straight into the flue and closes the top to birds and animals. The state's residential code says a rain cap on a masonry chimney must leave a net free area no smaller than four times the flue outlet's own, so smoke still leaves freely. Each cap we fit is measured to its own flue and fastened to hold in strong wind.
Replacing a rusted or missing cap is often a short job, and in Fern Park it appears as a separate item on the estimate, with no hidden fees.
Repairs on factory-built chimneys
A factory-built fireplace has a chimney made of listed metal pipe, often boxed in by a wood-framed chase instead of a brick stack. Florida's code has these chimneys installed and terminated according to their maker's instructions, so repairs use parts that belong to that listed system. We check the chase cover, storm collar and cap for rust, gaps and poor fit.
Before any part is ordered in Fern Park, we read the fireplace label so the replacement matches the system you have.
A written record of what was done
At the end of the job, we hand you a written record listing what we repaired, the materials we used and anything we noticed that still needs watching. Masonry maintenance guidance from the brick industry recommends keeping inspection and repair records so later inspections can tell what changed and when. That record also helps when the house is sold, or when someone looks at the chimney again in a few years.
Every repair we complete in Fern Park ends with that record in your hands.
Brick or mortar falling from the top
Pieces of brick, mortar or crown on the roof or the ground below mean something at the top has come loose. Keep children and pets out of the area below, do not climb up to look, and leave the fireplace unused. Loose material near the top can shift further in the next strong wind, and a single loose brick can do real damage when it falls.
Call our 24/7 line to arrange a visit, and if a slot is open that day, we can reach your home in Fern Park the same day.
