The work behind a sound, dry chimney
Chimney repairs and a new roof in the right order
If a new roof is coming, the chimney work should come first. Crown repairs, rebuilt courses, repointing and new counterflashing all happen at or above the roofline, and doing them after the roofers finish means working over and around brand new roofing at the base of the chimney.
Flashing is where the two jobs meet. The Florida Building Code requires flashing around roof openings, and at a chimney that means base flashing worked in with the roofing and counterflashing set into the masonry. Deciding who installs which layer before either trade starts keeps the laps in the right order and leaves no gap between them.
Mention the reroof at the free inspection. For homes in Fairview Shores, the estimate then puts the chimney work ahead of the roofing and says which flashing layer we install and which one belongs to the roofer.
A framed chase around a metal chimney
A chase is a wood-framed box built around a factory-built chimney pipe, finished with siding or stucco to look like part of the house. The pipe carries the smoke. The chase only covers and hides it, so its walls are built like any other exterior wall.
That means the Florida Building Code rules for exterior walls apply. A water-resistive barrier goes over the sheathing, continuous behind the siding and lapped upper layer over lower, and flashing keeps water out of the wall cavity and away from the framing. When a chase leaks, the top and the roof line are the first places to look.
Water inside a chase can stain the ceiling beside the fireplace or soften framing long before the siding looks wrong. Our chimney chase repair service opens only what needs opening, replaces wet sheathing and barrier, and closes the wall with matching siding. Each layer carries its own price.
Every masonry chimney needs a sound lining
The Florida Building Code says masonry chimneys shall be lined, and that the lining must suit the type of appliance connected, following that appliance's listing and instructions. The lining is the inner passage the smoke travels through, and it keeps smoke and flue gases inside the flue rather than in the brick around it.
Some chimneys were built without one, and others have a lining that has cracked, shifted or lost pieces. From the room you rarely see it. The clues tend to be indirect, like tile fragments in the firebox or smoke where it should not be.
Because the code requires a lining, a flue without one, or with a broken one, stays out of use until it is repaired. On homes in Fairview Shores, our crew checks the lining from the firebox and from the top, and the estimate says whether the flue needs repair, relining or nothing at all.
Workmanship warranty and 100% satisfaction
Approved repairs are backed by our workmanship warranty, and every job carries our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Those promises mean the most when the work itself is clear, so they sit on top of a written estimate that names each repair.
A clear scope protects both sides. If the estimate says the crown is replaced, the counterflashing is reset into the mortar joints and two courses of brick are rebuilt, you know exactly which work is ours and what was done to your chimney.
Some limits are honest to state up front. A repair to one part of a chimney does not make the rest of it new, and parts left in place are listed as left in place. Homeowners in Fairview Shores can ask about the warranty when they review the estimate, and ask again about anything that is not clear.

Chimney repair answers for Fairview Shores homes
What if the crew finds more damage once work begins?
Nothing beyond the approved estimate is done without you. What was found and what it changes are explained, the added work is priced in writing and it goes ahead only with your approval. The original estimate stays the reference for everything else.
Is the inspection really free, with no obligation?
Yes. You pay nothing for the inspection or the written estimate, and going ahead is entirely your call. If you do approve the work within 72 hours after the inspection, 10% comes off.
