Planning the rebuild at your Edgewood home
Straight talk on rebuilding from the crew that lays the brick in Edgewood.
No change in shape where the chimney meets the roof
The code does not allow the chimney wall or flue lining to change size or shape within 6 inches above or below the point where it passes through a floor, ceiling or roof. Steps, offsets and decorative flares have to sit clear of those zones.
When our crew rebuilds the section through or near the roof of your Edgewood home, the courses stay straight through that band. If an older design broke the rule, the estimate shows how the new work corrects it while keeping the look as close as possible.
A crown that sheds water off the new brick
A flat crown holds water against the masonry and the liner. A sloped crown moves it off, and an overhang with a drip edge throws it clear of the face instead of letting it trickle down the new brick.
When we form the crown on your rebuilt Edgewood chimney, the slope runs from the liner out to the edge on every side, and the projection is shaped so water drips free. It is a small detail that protects the whole investment in the rebuild.
Tooled joints that shed water
The shape of a finished joint affects how water behaves on the face of the chimney. Brick industry guidance notes that concave, V and grapevine joints tooled into the mortar are the profiles that resist water penetration most effectively in exterior brickwork.
On your Edgewood rebuild, the joint profile is chosen with the existing masonry in mind. When the old joints were concave, the new ones match. If an unusual profile was used, we discuss the options before the new courses go up. A profile that sheds water is one of the quiet details that keeps new work dry.
Counterflashing set into the new joints
Where a chimney meets the roof, the flashing is in two parts. Base or step flashing works with the roof covering, and counterflashing laps over it from the chimney side, usually let into a mortar joint.
A rebuild through the roof line is the right time to cut new reglets or build the counterflashing into the courses as they go up. Our crew plans the flashing for your Edgewood chimney before the masonry reaches the roof, so the two parts meet properly.

Before your chimney rebuild in Edgewood
Questions that come up on rebuild visits in Edgewood, answered plainly.
How tall will the chimney be after the rebuild?
The finished top has to meet the code's height rule, 3 feet or more over the roof penetration and 2 feet taller than whatever part of the house is within 10 feet. We measure your Edgewood home and write the planned height into the estimate.
