Inside a chimney rebuild in Robinson Hills
Three pieces of the rebuild our specialists explain in Robinson Hills before a single course comes off.
Relaying the section above the roof
The part of a chimney above the roof is exposed on every side, so it tends to fail first. Relaying it usually means taking the crown, the top courses and any loose units down to firm brick, then building back up in full mortar joints.
For homes in Robinson Hills, this top-section rebuild is often the job that restores a chimney without touching the rest. It also gives our crew a chance to reset the flashing, check the liner and measure the finished height before the new crown goes on.
Keeping dust and debris out of the house
Work at the top of a chimney can send grit and mortar down the flue. Without precautions, it ends up in the firebox and sometimes in the room.
Our crew seals the fireplace opening and, where practical, blocks the flue below the work area before dismantling starts on your Robinson Hills chimney. The seal stays until the top is rebuilt and the flue is checked for fallen material. Your living room should look the way you left it. If the chimney serves more than one opening, each one is covered.
A cricket behind a wide chimney
A cricket, or saddle, is a small peaked section of roof behind a chimney that splits water around it. The Florida Residential Code requires one on a chimney wider than 30 inches that does not meet the ridge.
If your Robinson Hills chimney is wide enough to need one and does not have it, water pooling behind the stack may be part of why it failed. The rebuild plan notes the cricket requirement, and the roofing and flashing lines show how it will be built.
A framed chase needs a different repair
Some chimneys are not masonry at all. A framed chase is a wood-framed box around a metal flue, finished with siding or stucco. It is repaired by carpentry and the right chase cover, with no brick to relay.
If your Robinson Hills home has a framed chase, our team says so at the inspection and points you to the chase repair service instead. Knowing which kind of chimney you have is the first step in getting an accurate estimate. Some homes have both, a masonry fireplace chimney and a framed chase for another flue, and each is quoted on its own terms.

What Robinson Hills homeowners ask before a rebuild
Still weighing a rebuild? The inspection in Robinson Hills costs nothing.
My chimney leans. What should I do right now?
Keep people clear of the side it leans toward and leave the fireplace unused. If there is an immediate danger to people or the house, contact emergency services. Then arrange an assessment so the cause of the lean can be found.
Can the old decorative top be rebuilt the same way?
In most cases, yes. We record the pattern and projections before removal and rebuild the detail within the code's corbeling limits. The estimate describes it so it is not lost.
