How our crew approaches a chimney rebuild in Storey Park
Field notes from our rebuild crew serving Storey Park.
Listing what stays in place
A good rebuild estimate says as much about what remains as about what is replaced. Sound lower masonry, a liner in good condition or a cap that can be refitted are all worth keeping, and each should be named.
We list the retained parts of your Storey Park chimney and the condition that allows each to stay. If something we planned to keep turns out to be damaged once the top is open, you see it and approve any change before the scope grows.
Protecting shingles and tile during teardown
Dismantling a chimney puts brick, mortar and foot traffic on the roof around it. Unprotected shingles scuff and tile can crack under a careless step or a dropped unit.
Before any brick comes off your Storey Park chimney, the crew lays protection over the working area, sets up a path for material and keeps loose pieces contained. If roof covering must be lifted to reset flashing, that is written into the plan along with how it will be restored. Gutters below the work are guarded as well, since they catch most of what slips.
Base and counter flashing that work together
Base flashing turns up the chimney from the roof, and counterflashing comes down over it. For asphalt shingle roofs, the code allows base and counter flashing installed per the manufacturer's instructions, per RAS 111, or as continuous metal L flashing set in cement.
On rebuilds in Storey Park, our crew chooses the approach that suits your roof and the new masonry. The two layers overlap, so water on either one runs onto the roof, not into the house. Sealant is a supporting detail in this system, never the only thing keeping water out.
Fixing the cause along with the chimney
The National Park Service's Preservation Brief 2 makes a point that applies to any masonry repair. Deterioration from leaking roofs or gutters, settlement or rising damp should be dealt with before the masonry work, or the new work will suffer the same way.
When we rebuild a chimney in Storey Park, the plan names the cause of the failure where it can be identified. A downspout emptying onto the base or a roof valley pouring against the stack is fixed as part of the job or listed for you to arrange.

What Storey Park homeowners ask before a rebuild
Still weighing a rebuild? The inspection in Storey Park costs nothing.
Will the rebuilt chimney match the rest of the house?
We aim for the closest practical match in brick color, size and texture and in mortar color and joint profile. Sound original brick can often be reused on the most visible face. We tell you honestly how close we expect to get.
Can you rebuild a stucco or block chimney?
Yes. Block chimneys are rebuilt with the cores grouted solid, and a stucco finish is reapplied to tie into the existing surface. We first open suspect areas to see whether the core itself has failed.
