Nothing visible from the ground
A chimney can look fine from the yard after a storm and still have a cracked crown, a lifted flashing edge or a shifted flue tile. Under NFPA 211, anything likely to have damaged a chimney is a reason for a deeper look, visible damage or not. A careful look now also gives you a baseline for comparison after the next storm.
Our free inspection in Atlantic Beach covers the top, the roof line and the flue, and you get a written answer either way. If the chimney came through fine, the ticket says so.
Atlantic Beach is part of Duval County. Atlantic Beach had 13,513 residents at the 2020 Census.

The order of a storm repair
-
Hazards first, then the call
Utility and 911 hazards come first. Then describe what you see from the ground and we set the visit.
-
Top closed to the weather
An open flue, a broken chase top or loose courses are covered or made stable the same visit where safe.
-
Chimney checked top to bottom
Cap, crown, flashing, masonry and every flue are checked, and each finding is written down in order.
-
Permanent repairs in dry weather
Water-stopping work goes first, then structure, then finishes, each on its own line.
Fasteners that hold up near the ocean in Atlantic Beach
A cap or chase top is only as secure as its fasteners, and near salt water plain steel screws corrode and let go. On the coast in Atlantic Beach, fasteners are matched to the metal of the part they hold.
We write the fastener type on the ticket, so the next person refits it the same way.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Homeowners in Atlantic Beach get the same 10% discount on storm work as on any other job.
Temporary covers and their limits
A temporary cover over an open flue or a broken chase top keeps rain out until the permanent repair. It can be a fitted cover strapped in place, sheeting over a chase or a cap set on without its final fasteners.
A covered flue cannot be used. Any fireplace or appliance that vents through it stays off until the cover comes off, and we tag the fireplace so nobody lights it by mistake. The cover and its removal are written on the estimate as their own line. A cover left on too long traps moisture in the flue, so its removal date is agreed when it goes on.
Rebuilding the top courses
Bricks that the wind loosened at the top come off one at a time, down to masonry that no longer moves. The courses are relaid in mortar matched to the brick, with the joints full and tooled, and the crown is rebuilt on top of them.
How far down the rebuild goes depends on what we find, so the estimate gives a price per course with the number we expect. If more courses turn out to be loose, you see it before we go further, and the ticket records the final count. Brick that comes down whole and sound can go back up, which helps the rebuilt top match the rest of the chimney.
Stucco and stone finishes after a storm
A chimney finished in stucco or stone can crack or lose pieces when wind flexes it or debris strikes it. The damage to the finish is visible, but the concern is the water that gets behind it and into the chase or the masonry.
The surface is checked and opened where needed to see the backing, and the finish repair and any water damage behind it are written up as separate items. Matching the old finish is part of the price. On a framed chase, sheathing that stayed wet is checked for rot before the finish is patched over it.

Before the fireplace is used again
Can you come the same day after a storm in Atlantic Beach?
When the day's schedule has an opening, yes, and hazards like loose masonry or an open flue with rain coming go to the front. Describe what is visible from the yard when you call.
Will you give me a written record of the damage?
Yes. Every storm job includes a dated written account of what we found, what we did to make it safe and the permanent repairs, for your files.
