Working with us in Green Cove Springs
A crown is the slab that caps the brickwork of a masonry chimney, and it does more work than its size suggests. It sheds water away from the top of the masonry, it protects the joint around the flue tile, and when it is built right it throws drips clear of the brick faces below.
The Florida Building Code wants the top of a masonry chimney finished in concrete, metal or stone, sloped so water runs off, with a drip edge and a sealed break where the flue lining comes through. A crown that was troweled on as a thin mortar wash, flush with the brick and set hard against the flue tile, falls short of that description.
Such a wash cracks as the tile and the masonry expand at different rates, and water finds the cracks. The repair depends on what we find. Fine cracks in crown concrete that is otherwise solid take a flexible sealant made for crowns. A crown that is broken through, lifting, or built without an overhang is better replaced with a new cast crown that has a proper slope, an overhang and a drip groove, plus a bond break at the flue so the tile can move without cracking it again.
We check the crown from the roof, sound it for hollow spots, and look at the brick just below it for the staining that tells how long water has been getting in. On a multi-flue chimney the crown also carries the cap, so a loose cap can point to a crown that has lost its grip.
The estimate states which repair we recommend and why the other was ruled out. A crown repair is the right moment to check the cap as well, since a cap anchored in a crown that is breaking up works loose with it. Both crown repairs are priced side by side on the estimate, so you can weigh them against what you see on your Green Cove Springs roof.

Questions from Green Cove Springs
Is the written estimate free?
Yes. Free written estimates are part of every visit, and we keep them plain. The estimate names what we found, the repair we recommend, the materials, and what can safely wait, so you can compare it line by line with anyone else's. Once you approve it, it changes only if you ask or if we find something hidden and explain it to you first.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
For the first visit, yes, or someone who can let us in and describe how the fireplace behaves. We look inside the firebox and the flue as well as on the roof, and we explain what we find before we leave. For approved work on the outside of the chimney only, we can agree a plan that does not need you there, and we tell you when we arrive and when we finish.
Is there a warranty on the work?
There is. Our work carries a workmanship warranty, and the written estimate and the final invoice describe what it covers. Parts such as caps, liners and gas components also carry their maker's warranty terms, which we pass along in writing. If something we did is not right, call the same number you booked with and we come back to look at it.
