Chimney rebuilding explained for Tildenville homeowners
Straight talk on rebuilding from the crew that lays the brick in Tildenville.
Why joint work cannot fix loose units
Repointing replaces worn mortar in the face of the joint while the bricks stay put. It works well on a chimney whose units are still firmly set. It cannot reconnect bricks that already rock in place, and packing fresh mortar around them only hides the movement.
We draw that line clearly in Tildenville. If most of your chimney only needs its joints renewed, tuckpointing is the right job and the lower price. If a section has lost its bond through the wall, relaying that section is the repair that holds.
Keep, extend or reline during the rebuild
Three outcomes are common for the liner in a rebuild. A sound tile run can stay and be extended through the new work. A damaged top section can be replaced with new tile. A liner in poor condition further down may call for a separate relining job.
We explain which applies to your Tildenville chimney and why, based on what we can see from the top and the fireplace. Relining is priced as its own line, and it is scheduled so the rebuilt masonry and the new liner fit together cleanly.
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 Tildenville 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.
Temporary measures before the rebuild
Sometimes a chimney cannot be rebuilt right away, perhaps because brick is on order or approval is pending. In the meantime, loose top courses can be taken down and the open top covered to keep water out.
Any temporary work on your Tildenville chimney is described in writing, including what it protects against and what it does not. It is a bridge to the rebuild, and the estimate for the full job stays in place. Temporary covers are checked after heavy weather until the permanent work is done.

Rebuild answers for Tildenville homeowners
Questions that come up on rebuild visits in Tildenville, answered plainly.
How tall will the chimney be after the rebuild?
The finished top has to meet the code's height rule, 3 feet or more over the roof penetration and 2 feet taller than whatever part of the house is within 10 feet. We measure your Tildenville home and write the planned height into the estimate.
Is the rebuild covered by a warranty?
Yes. The masonry we lay, the joints we finish and the crown or cap we install are backed by our workmanship warranty, and every rebuild carries our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
