Planning the rebuild at your Bel Air home
Straight talk on rebuilding from the crew that lays the brick in Bel Air.
Covering an open chimney overnight
A chimney with its top removed is open to rain until the new crown is on. Water into an open stack can soak the masonry below and reach the firebox or the ceiling around the chimney.
On multi-day rebuilds in Bel Air, our crew covers the open top at the end of each day and after any stop for weather. Fresh courses are protected as well, since new mortar should not be flooded before it has set. The cover is weighted and tied so wind cannot lift it off the stack.
Three feet above the roof penetration
The Florida Residential Code, section R1003.9, sets a minimum height for masonry chimneys. The top has to sit 3 feet or more over the highest point where it leaves the roof, and it must also rise 2 feet past any part of the house that stands within 10 feet.
A rebuild is the natural moment to confirm that your chimney meets that rule. Our crew in Bel Air measures from the roof penetration and checks nearby ridges and walls before the new courses go up, so the finished top is built to the right height the first time.
Rebuilding a decorative top
Many chimneys finish with a band of projecting or patterned brick just below the crown. When the top is rebuilt, homeowners often want that detail back exactly as it was.
Before taking the top of your Bel Air chimney down, our crew records the pattern, the number of projecting courses and how far each steps out. The rebuilt detail follows that record within the code's corbeling limits, and the estimate describes it so it is not lost in the rebuild. If the old detail broke the code's limits, we show you the closest compliant version first.
The walk-through when the rebuild is done
At the end of the job, we review the chimney with you. We point out the rebuilt section, the new crown or cap, the flashing and the roof work, and we confirm that the flue has been checked for debris.
You also receive written care notes and a record of the materials used on your Bel Air chimney. If anything looks different from what the estimate described, that is the moment to say so, and the crew is still on site to address it.

Before your chimney rebuild in Bel Air
Anything missing here is one phone call to our Bel Air team.
Will the rebuilt chimney match the rest of the house?
We aim for the closest practical match in brick color, size and texture and in mortar color and joint profile. Sound original brick can often be reused on the most visible face. We tell you honestly how close we expect to get.
Do you haul away the old brick?
Yes. Debris removal and haul-away are included in every rebuild estimate, and the yard, walkways and gutters are cleaned before the crew leaves your Bel Air home.
