Planning the rebuild at your Carver Shores home
Rebuild notes from the family-owned masons who work in Carver Shores.
Where the old brick goes
A rebuild produces a lot of heavy debris, and throwing it off the roof is how gutters, plants and walkways get damaged. The better approach is to lower material in buckets or send it down a chute into a container.
We plan the debris route for your Carver Shores home at the inspection, taking into account landscaping, pool areas, screen enclosures and driveways. Haul-away is part of the estimate, and the yard is raked and swept before the crew leaves. Nothing heavy is dropped where it could crack a walkway or bend a gutter.
A chimney shorter than the rooflines around it
When the top of a chimney sits lower than a nearby ridge or wall, it may fall short of the code's height rule, and the roof around it can also affect how the flue draws. Homeowners sometimes notice this only after a remodel or a new roof.
We point out a short stack during the free inspection in Carver Shores and explain the options within the rebuild. Raising the top is designed with the crown, liner extension and flashing in mind, and the whole plan appears in writing before anything is built.
Choosing mortar for the rebuilt courses
ASTM C270 groups masonry mortar into types, and the Brick Industry Association's Technical Note 8B describes Type N as a general all-purpose mortar. The same note stresses that no single mortar suits every job.
Our masons pick the mortar for your Carver Shores rebuild to suit the brick being laid and the old masonry it joins. The type is named in the estimate. That way you know what is going into the wall, and any future repair can use a compatible mix.
Keeping a record of the rebuild
A rebuilt chimney is part of the house's history. Knowing when it was done, how far down the rebuild went and what brick and mortar were used helps anyone who works on it later.
We hand Carver Shores homeowners a written record with the estimate, the completed scope and the materials list. Keep it with your house documents. It is useful when you sell, when an inspector asks about the chimney or when the next roof goes on. It also helps if a question about the chimney ever comes up with a lender or buyer.

Rebuild answers for Carver Shores homeowners
Anything missing here is one phone call to our Carver Shores team.
Can I use the fireplace while the chimney is being rebuilt?
No. The fireplace and anything venting through the chimney stay off until the work is complete and the flue has been checked. We tell you when it can be used again.
Do I need to be home during the rebuild?
Not for most of the work, which happens on the roof. We do ask to walk the finished chimney with you at the end, and someone needs to be available if a decision about hidden damage comes up.
