What goes into a masonry job in Ocoee
What we look for on masonry jobs in Ocoee, with the guidance behind each step.
Keeping debris off the roof and out of the flue
Removing old mortar and damaged brick creates dust and debris. Dropped pieces can damage roofing, and pieces falling into the flue can block it.
We protect the roof around the work area, cover the flue opening while cutting and lower debris rather than throwing it down. Before leaving, we check the flue and the smoke shelf for anything that fell, and we clean the gutters and yard below. Old mortar dust is also kept away from open windows and air intakes, which is one reason we ask you to keep nearby windows closed while we cut.
Staying safe around damaged masonry
Damaged chimney masonry is best inspected from a distance until someone has safe access. Do not climb onto the roof to look, and do not stand beneath loose brick to collect pieces.
A photo from the ground, taken from a safe spot, is plenty to start the conversation. Keep children, pets and cars away from the side of the house below any loose masonry until the chimney has been checked. If brick has already fallen, note roughly where it landed. It tells us which face and course it came from before we are on the roof.
Rust stains on chimney masonry
Rust streaks on masonry usually start at metal parts, such as a cap, a bracket, an old fastener or steel inside the masonry. The stain points to the source but does not say how serious it is.
We find where the rust is coming from. A surface stain from a cap is a small matter, while rust from steel inside the masonry can be a structural concern, and the estimate explains which you have. Surface staining can often be cleaned once its source is dealt with, using a product made for brick and tested on a small area first.
Agreeing on the finish before work begins
The finished look of a masonry repair depends on the brick match, the mortar color, the joint profile and how much of the chimney is involved. None of those is perfect on an old chimney.
We talk through what the repaired area should look like before the work starts, using the samples and the existing masonry as the reference. Agreeing on that up front is part of how we keep the 100% satisfaction guarantee meaningful. Where a perfect match is not possible, we tell you before work starts, not when the scaffolding comes down.

What people in Ocoee ask about chimney cracks
Answers on cracks, mortar and brick from our Ocoee masons. Ask us anything else.
Is the masonry inspection really free in Ocoee?
Yes, with no charge and no obligation. We look at the brick and mortar at your Ocoee home and leave you the findings and a written estimate.
Do you remove old caulk and patches?
Yes, where they sit in the repair area. Sealant smeared over cracks and patches of the wrong material are taken out, because new work has to bond to clean, sound masonry rather than to an old patch.
