Matching old brick
Matching starts with the chimney's own brick: sound pieces from the take-down, cleaned of old mortar and relaid. Where more is needed, new brick is matched by size first, since a different height throws the coursing off, and then by color and surface.
New mortar starts darker or lighter than weathered mortar and changes as it cures, so a perfect match on the day is not realistic. For each Orange Park rebuild, the brick planned and how much original brick is expected to go back are named up front. Samples can be held against the old brick before the order is placed.

How It Works
Test, take down, relay, crown
-
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 Orange Park
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 Orange Park chimney, the estimate states the line in courses or feet and explains why it sits there.

How thick the chimney walls must be
A rebuilt chimney has to meet the code's wall thickness. Masonry chimney walls are built of solid masonry units, or hollow units with their cores grouted solid, not less than 4 inches in nominal thickness (FBC R1003.10).
That works out to one full brick thickness around the flue, with the tile or liner space inside it. A rebuild does not thin the walls to fit a larger liner, and where an old stack was built thinner than that, the rebuilt section is brought up to the requirement. Corners are interlocked course by course so the walls act together.
Keeping the rebuilt masonry off the framing
A rebuild that reaches into the attic has to keep its distance from wood. The code wants a 2-inch airspace between combustibles and any part of a masonry chimney that runs through the interior or is built into an outside wall, and 1 inch for a chimney standing wholly outside, including where it passes a soffit or cornice (FBC R1003.18).
Framing that was built tight to the old stack is noted, and the rebuilt masonry is laid to hold that gap. Where a roof deck edge touches the brick, it is trimmed back as part of the tie-in.
Running a liner through a rebuilt chimney
Some rebuilds leave the flue space open and line it afterward with a UL 1777 listed stainless liner, which the code accepts as a flue lining (FBC R1003.11.1). That route suits a chimney that will serve a stove or insert, since the liner is sized to the appliance's collar.
The rebuilt masonry is laid with a clear, plumb passage wide enough for the liner plus whatever insulation the listing calls for. The liner goes in once the crown has cured, and its top plate is fastened to the finished crown. Until then the open flue space is capped against rain.

FAQ
Rebuild questions from Orange Park
Do you rebuild chimneys in Orange Park?
We do. Describe what you are seeing on the chimney and the roof type, and the Orange Park estimate visit is planned around testing the masonry.
How long does a chimney rebuild take?
It depends on how far down the take-down goes, the flue work and the weather, plus cure time before the cap and first fire. The estimate gives a schedule with the working days marked.
