Crown pieces on the roof after the storm
Chunks of concrete or mortar found on the roof below a chimney came from its top. Wind load and flying debris can crack a crown that was already weak, and a mortar wash can break into pieces. Either way, rain now reaches the brick below the top. Pieces of a broken crown can also block gutters and crack roofing where they land.
For a chimney in Jacksonville Beach, the first decision is seal or recast, and cover it in the meantime if rain is coming. The written estimate puts the crown first, because the rest of the chimney depends on it.

Storm repairs on a coastal chimney in Jacksonville Beach
Jacksonville Beach is coastal, so the parts replaced after a storm have to stand up to chlorides in sea air as well as the next wind. Galvanized caps, chase tops and fasteners lose their coating faster there.
For storm repairs in Jacksonville Beach, we price stainless caps and covers, with grade 316 where the maker offers it, and name the metal of each part on the estimate.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Cap, crown and flashing repairs booked in the 72 hours after the inspection each come 10% off.
What comes before looking at the chimney
Once the wind drops, the chimney waits behind bigger hazards. Downed power lines, a gas smell and structural damage to the house come first, and each has its own authority: the power company, the gas utility or 911, and emergency services.
Nobody should climb onto a wet roof, or one the storm has damaged, just to see a chimney. What can be seen safely from the ground, a missing cap, a leaning stack or bricks on the roof, is enough to describe on the phone. The close inspection follows when the roof is safe to walk. A description from the ground also tells us what to bring, so the first visit can close the chimney to the weather.
Large caps over several flues
A cap that covers several flues at once is a big, flat surface in the wind. It has to be anchored to the crown or the brick with fasteners suited to masonry, spaced as its maker directs, and the crown under it has to be sound enough to hold them.
When a multi-flue cap has been lifted or bent, we check the crown and the anchors before refitting or replacing it. A cap reset on a cracked crown is loose again after the next storm. Where the crown cannot hold anchors, recasting it comes first, and the cap goes back on the new crown.
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.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Chase top fabricated to measure with collar and storm collar
- Counter flashing reset into a cut joint and sealed
- Storm debris cleared and the full flue checked with a light
- Mount removal and brick repair listed separately
