Getting brick replacement right in Alafaya
Straight answers about brick work in Alafaya, from the people who do it.
What an old failed repair can tell us
If an earlier patch has fallen off, or the same spot has been repaired more than once, that history is useful. It may point to a moisture problem that was never addressed or to a repair material that did not suit the brick.
Tell us what you know about past work, including when it was done and whether a coating was applied. We look at how the old repair failed before planning the new one, so we do not repeat the same approach.
Firebox brick is not the same brick
The brick lining the inside of a fireplace firebox is firebrick, made to handle direct heat, and it is set with a different kind of mortar. Damage there is handled as firebox repair.
This page covers the brick on the outside of the chimney. If you also see cracked or loose brick inside the fireplace, mention it, and we will look at it during the same visit and quote it separately under the right service.
Working around clay and concrete roof tiles
Roof tiles can crack under a careless step or a dropped brick. When a chimney rises through a tile roof, the path to it and the staging area around it need planning.
We choose where to walk and set materials with the tiles in mind. If a tile has to be lifted to reach the lower courses of the chimney, we explain that in the estimate. Roof repairs outside the chimney are not part of the brick scope, and we say so up front.
Loose brick after a storm
Strong wind or a falling limb can loosen already weakened brick, especially near the top of the chimney. Pieces on the roof or ground after a storm are a sign to have the chimney checked.
Keep clear of the area below and call us. Our 24/7 emergency line is there when a brick is hanging over a walkway or entrance. We secure what is loose, inspect the rest of the chimney and quote the permanent repair separately.

Brick replacement answers for Alafaya homeowners
Questions we hear on brick visits in Alafaya, answered plainly.
What mortar do you use for replacement brick?
One chosen for your chimney. We look at the existing brick and joints and pick a mortar type, named in the estimate using the ASTM C270 types, that is not harder than the brick around it.
What are the white deposits on my chimney brick?
They are usually efflorescence, soluble material carried to the surface by water. Occasional light deposits can wash away, while deposits that keep returning suggest water is moving through the wall and deserve a closer look.
