Getting chimney masonry right in Geigers Landing
How we plan a masonry repair on your Geigers Landing chimney, from the first crack to the final joint.
Finding brick that suits your chimney
Size comes first, since a replacement that is slightly too tall or too long throws the courses out of line. Color and texture follow. Brick industry guidance recommends judging replacement brick against the existing work with sample panels or mock-ups before the full job starts.
Where part of a chimney comes down, sound bricks that come off whole can sometimes be cleaned and reused in the same wall. Weathered brick and new brick rarely look identical on the first day, and we tell you that up front. You see and approve the match before we set a single unit, so there are no surprises when the scaffold comes down.
Protecting fresh masonry while it cures
New mortar needs time and protection. Brick industry guidance calls for covering the tops of walls and any open work with a waterproof cover at the end of each workday and during stoppages, so rain does not wash out fresh joints before they set.
We cover the work before leaving the roof each day and tell you how long to wait before lighting the fireplace again. Replaced masonry also needs several days of curing before it carries load, so a larger repair may be planned across more than one visit. The schedule is written into your estimate, along with any weather allowance.
What goes on the masonry estimate
A useful masonry estimate says where the work is, what will be done and what material will be used. Ours lists the repair areas on each face, the mortar type, the brick selection and any separate items such as crown, cap or flashing work, each with its own price.
That layout lets you compare quotes by scope instead of by total alone, and it leaves a record you can keep with the house. Our pricing is upfront, there are no hidden fees, and the 10% discount covers any service you confirm in the 72 hours after the inspection. If you have questions about any line, our team walks you through it before you decide.
