Rebuild details that matter for Windhover homes
This is how our local crew reasons through a rebuild for homes in Windhover.
The bond break around the flue tile
The liner and the crown move differently as they heat and cool. If the crown is cast tight against the tile, that movement can crack one or the other. The code requires a caulked bond break around the liners for this reason.
Our masons leave that separation around every tile on your Windhover chimney and seal it with a suitable flexible material. It is not visible from the ground, which is why we list it in the estimate so you know it is part of the job.
Rebuilding to Florida's chimney provisions
Chapter 10 of the Florida Residential Code covers masonry chimneys and fireplaces. It sets rules for wall thickness, liners, height, crowns, clearances and crickets that apply to new masonry work.
A rebuild in Windhover is new masonry, so we plan it against those provisions instead of copying whatever was there before. Where the old chimney fell short, the estimate says what will change. Where a requirement depends on the specific job, we explain that too. The finished chimney should satisfy the provisions that apply to new work instead of merely resembling the old one.
Cleaning new brickwork without harming it
Mortar smears on new brick are cleaned off, but aggressive methods can damage both brick and joints. Preservation Brief 2 warns against acid cleaners on dry masonry and recommends soaking the wall first when a chemical cleaner is used at all.
Our crew keeps the face of the new work on your Windhover chimney clean as it goes up and brushes off excess mortar at the right time. That keeps cleaning gentle, protects the fresh joints and avoids leaving residues behind.
Reading the rebuild estimate line by line
Our written estimate is organized the way the job is built. It lists access and protection, the removal boundary, the brick and mortar, the liner approach, the crown or cap, the flashing and roof work, and cleanup and haul-away.
Each line on your Windhover estimate carries its own price, so you can see where the cost sits and ask about any item. Optional work, such as a new cap or extra courses for height, is shown separately from the core rebuild. If a line is unclear, ask, and we will explain it before you sign.

Rebuild answers for Windhover homeowners
Anything missing here is one phone call to our Windhover team.
Do you replace the flashing during a rebuild?
When the rebuild reaches the roof line, yes, because old flashing is shaped to the old masonry. If only courses well above the roof are relaid, the existing flashing may stay, and the estimate says which applies.
Will the work damage my roof?
The roof around the chimney is covered before dismantling, material goes down by bucket or chute, and any roofing lifted to reset flashing is restored. The roofing scope is part of your Windhover estimate.
