What goes into rebuilding a chimney in New Malibu
Field notes from our rebuild crew serving New Malibu.
Top courses loosened under a failed crown
A crown that has cracked or broken lets water straight into the top courses. Over time the joints just beneath it soften and the bricks loosen, so crown failure and top-course failure often arrive together.
If only the crown has failed, crown repair is its own job. When the courses under it have also lost their bond, our crew in New Malibu takes the top down to firm brick, relays it and casts or sets a new crown on sound work. The estimate separates those items so you can see each one.
Comparing rebuild proposals line by line
Two rebuild quotes can describe very different jobs. One may relay six courses and reuse the old crown, while another takes the stack to the roof deck and includes new flashing and a liner decision. The totals mean little until the scopes match.
Our written proposal for your New Malibu home names the removal boundary, the brick and mortar, the crown or cap, the flashing and the liner approach. Lay it next to any other quote and you can see where they differ and ask each contractor the same questions.
Offsets in the stack
Some chimneys shift sideways partway up, usually to clear a roof ridge or line up with the house. The code limits how far that offset can go. Where the liner is surrounded by one wythe of masonry, the flue centerline above the offset may not pass beyond the center of the chimney wall below.
When a rebuild includes an offset section on your New Malibu chimney, our masons lay it within that limit and keep the corbeling within its own rules. An existing offset that exceeds the limit is flagged in writing with the correction proposed.
Air space between the chimney and framing
The code requires an air space between a masonry chimney and combustible framing. It asks for 2 inches or more for a chimney that is indoors or built into an exterior wall, and 1 inch or more for one that stands wholly outside.
On rebuilds that pass through the roof or attic of your New Malibu home, our crew keeps that gap clear and checks that framing, decking or insulation has not been pushed against the masonry. Anything found touching the chimney is noted and corrected in the plan.

Yes. The inspection and the written estimate for your New Malibu chimney cost nothing, and there is no obligation to book. If you do book within 72 hours after the free inspection, 10% comes off.
