Timing chimney work around a new roof

When a roof is being replaced, the chimney is exposed in a way it will not be again for years. That is the moment to reflash it, check the crown and repoint the joints along the roof line. We can plan that sequence with your roofer: they strip the roof, we do the chimney work, and they roof back up to the new flashing.

Every item in the Brentwood re-roof plan is marked with the trade it belongs to, so nothing is left out or done twice. Without a re-roof, we still coordinate when a flashing repair needs tile or shingle lifted. Something loose, cracked or leaking up there? The Brentwood inspection is free at (904) 920-5495.

Within Jacksonville city limits, Brentwood is its own named neighborhood. Brentwood is part of Duval County.

How our chimney repair pros work in Brentwood

Roof, attic and firebox checked
We look at the chimney from all three places in one visit and note each defect where we find it.
Cause traced before the fix
Stains, cracks and loose brick are followed back to the part that let water or heat through.
Repairs from the top down
Cap and crown come first, then brick and joints, then flashing, using the mortar and metal named on your estimate.
Cleanup and a final walk-around
Debris leaves with us, and we show you each finished repair plus anything worth watching.

Leaks that show up away from the chimney

Water that gets into a chimney can travel along the framing before it drips, so a stain several feet from the chimney breast in Brentwood may still come from the stack.

Our repair visit includes the attic, where the wet wood shows the path the water took from the chimney to the ceiling.

10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection

Any repair counts, from one open joint to a new crown.

What a rusted damper says about the chimney above it

A cast-iron or steel damper sits just above the firebox, and it rusts when water reaches it. Light surface rust on a damper that still opens and seals can be cleaned and left alone. Heavy scale, a plate that no longer closes, or rust flaking onto the smoke shelf means water has been coming down for some time, through an open flue top, a cracked crown or soaked masonry.

Replacing the damper without stopping that water just restarts the clock. So a rusted damper sends us up the chimney before it sends us to a parts list, and the water source and the damper appear as two separate lines.

Reading a stair-step crack

A crack that climbs through the mortar joints in steps, around the bricks rather than through them, is masonry following its weakest path. It can mean the footing settled at one corner, that the chimney was built with too few ties to the house, or simply that the mortar shrank long ago.

Width tells part of the story. We measure it at a few marked points, and where a crack is wider at the top than at the bottom, the chimney is probably rotating away from the house. That pattern turns a repointing job into a question about the footing, and the two lead to very different repairs.

Temporary patches, and how the estimate treats them

Sometimes a temporary fix is the right first step: a strip of flashing tucked under a lifted edge before a storm, sealant on a crown crack until the recast can be scheduled, a tarp over an open flue. Those measures are listed as temporary, with how long they are expected to hold and what replaces them.

A patch is not dressed up as a repair. That distinction matters later, when you sell the house or look back at the chimney's records, because a document that says repaired should mean the part was actually fixed, and a document that says temporary tells the next person exactly what is still open.

Before you book a chimney repair

Can you repair just one part of my chimney?

Yes, when one part is what failed. The estimate lists each finding separately, so you can approve the crown and leave the repointing, or the other way round. If two items have to be done together to work, we say so.

Will you tell me if it is unsafe to light a fire?

Yes, in writing. A cracked liner, gaps in the firebox or a chimney too close to framing are reasons to keep the fireplace cold until they are fixed, and the estimate says so at the top.
