Our approach to spalled brick in Hunter's Creek
Three parts of the job our brick specialists explain to homeowners in Hunter's Creek before any unit is removed.
Joint profiles that shed water
Concave, V and grapevine joints best resist water penetration in exterior brickwork, according to BIA Technical Note 7B, because tooling compacts the mortar at the surface.
Where your chimney already has one of those profiles, we match it on the replacement units. If the existing joints have a different profile, we discuss whether to match the look or use a water-resisting profile around the new brick. Either way, the finish is described in the estimate before the work begins.
The 72-hour savings on brick replacement
Any service you book within 72 hours after the free inspection is 10% off, and spalling brick repair qualifies. The savings appear on the written estimate so there is no guesswork at the end.
If the work combines brick replacement with crown or flashing repair, ask us how the offer applies to each line. Book within 72 hours after the free inspection, mention the offer and we will note it on your file. The free inspection comes first either way.
When no matching brick can be found
Sometimes no available brick matches closely enough. In that situation, there are a few options to discuss, such as accepting the nearest match, using sound brick taken from a less visible spot and replacing that spot with the nearest match, or planning a wider area so the difference reads as intentional.
Each option has tradeoffs in cost and appearance. We explain them plainly and let you choose before any unit is removed. The estimate records the approach you selected.
Pointing around new units compared with repointing the chimney
Brick replacement includes pointing the joints around each new unit. Repointing worn joints across a whole face or the whole chimney is a separate job called tuckpointing.
If the joints around the damaged brick are sound, pointing the new units is all that is needed. If the mortar across a wider area is eroded, we explain that and quote chimney tuckpointing separately, so you can see which part of the price relates to the brick and which to the joints.

Chimney brick questions from Hunter's Creek
Answers from our specialists in Hunter's Creek, with no sales pressure.
What causes chimney brick to flake like this?
Spalling usually involves water that gets into the brick and cannot dry out. Mortar harder than the brick, coatings that slow drying and soluble salts moving through the wall can all play a part. Our inspection looks for which applies to your chimney.
Why not rebuild the whole chimney instead?
When damage is limited to some units, targeted replacement costs far less and gives a sound result. A rebuild makes sense when damage is widespread or the top is loose or moving, and we say so when we see it.
