Rebuild details that matter for Wedgewood Groves homes
Straight talk on rebuilding from the crew that lays the brick in Wedgewood Groves.
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 Wedgewood Groves 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.
Full-height rebuilds and the footing
A rebuild that goes all the way to the ground brings the footing into the picture. The code calls for a concrete or solid masonry footing at least 12 inches thick that extends at least 6 inches beyond the face of the foundation or support wall on every side.
Most rebuilds in Wedgewood Groves stop well above that point. When the damage or a lean reaches the base, our pros look at what supports the chimney and explain whether the existing footing can be assessed, needs further evaluation or has to be addressed before any rebuilding.
Brushing the finished face
After tooling, a little mortar is left at the edge of each joint. The right brush removes it without scratching brick or disturbing the new joint. Preservation Brief 2 recommends natural bristle or nylon brushes and advises against metal bristles on historic masonry.
Our masons in Wedgewood Groves use soft brushes for the finishing pass on rebuilt courses. It is the last step in making the new work look settled instead of freshly smeared. Metal brushes can scratch brick and leave particles that stain the face over time.
Our workmanship warranty on the rebuilt section
The masonry we lay is backed by our workmanship warranty. It covers the rebuilt courses, the joints we finish and the crown or cap we install as part of the job.
The terms are written into your Wedgewood Groves paperwork, including what the warranty covers and how to reach us if something looks wrong. Keep that document with the estimate and the materials list, and you will have everything a future owner or inspector might ask for. If you sell the house, the paperwork shows the buyer exactly what was rebuilt and when.

We choose a mortar type suited to the brick and to the older masonry it joins, following industry guidance to use the lowest strength that meets the job. The type is named in the estimate.
