What to tell us before a rebuild
Describe what you see and when you first saw it: a lean, loose brick, a crack that has grown, damage after a storm, or repairs that keep failing. Tell us the roof covering and pitch, since that decides how the roof is protected and reached, and whether the chimney serves a fireplace, a stove or nothing at all now.
If you have earlier repair records or an inspection report, have them ready. The visit to your Bryceville house then goes straight to testing the masonry and measuring the stack instead of reconstructing its history on the roof. Chimney leaning in Bryceville? Our masons mark where sound brick starts, and it takes one call to (904) 920-5495.
Bryceville sits inland, more than about six miles from the coast. Bryceville lies roughly 22 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly rather than by road.

How It Works
From take-down line to cured crown in Bryceville
-
Take-down line marked
We test each row of brick from the top down and mark where sound brick starts.
-
Old brick taken down by hand
The flue is covered and the roof protected, then brick comes off a row at a time, with sound brick saved to relay.
-
Relaid plumb around the flue
Brick goes back in matched mortar with tooled joints, around new clay tile or ready for a listed liner, and is flashed into the roof.
-
Crown cast, cap on last
A new crown with an overhang and a drip edge cures before the cap goes on and the first fire is lit.
Local Conditions
Rebuilding above the roofline in Bryceville
Most rebuilds stop at or just below the roofline, where the masonry has been out of the weather. Taking the stack down to that line keeps the job on the roof.
For your Bryceville chimney, the estimate states the line in courses or feet and explains why it sits there.

Lowering brick from the roof
Brick comes off a chimney by hand and comes down under control. Pieces are passed to a bucket on a line or sent down an enclosed chute to a container on the ground. Nothing is tossed over the eave onto a roof or a bed below.
The mortar and brick fragments are kept separate from sound brick being saved for reuse. The work area on the roof is swept as it goes, since loose grit under a boot on sloped roofing is a fall risk and grinds into shingles. Nothing heavier than a bucket load travels at once, so the line and the roof edge are not overloaded.
Brick size and the line of the courses
Bricks are made in more than one size, and an older chimney may have been built with brick that differs from sizes sold today. If new brick is taller or shorter than the old, the courses drift out of line with the masonry that stays, and the joint at the junction shows.
So new brick is matched by height and length before color. Where an exact size cannot be found, joint thickness is adjusted within reason to bring the courses back into line. The sizes are checked with a tape on the roof before any brick is bought.
A cricket behind a wide chimney
On the uphill side of a chimney, water running down the roof piles against the masonry. A narrow chimney splits the flow on its own; a wide one needs help. The code requires a cricket, a small ridged diverter, where the chimney measures more than 30 inches parallel to the ridge and does not meet the ridge (FBC R1003.20).
Changing the chimney's width or position during a rebuild is the time to check that requirement. The cricket ties into the roof covering, so its builder and its junction with the new flashing are settled before work starts.

FAQ
Rebuild questions from Bryceville
Will a roofer be involved in the rebuild?
Sometimes. The rebuild includes counterflashing set into the new joints, but base flashing woven into the roofing, a cricket, or roofing repairs may need a roofer; each is assigned on the estimate.
Can the chimney be made taller during the rebuild?
Yes, when the code's height rule calls for it. The added courses are laid before the crown, and the flue tile or liner is lengthened to match.
