Rebuilding a chimney, brick by brick.
Partial or full chimney rebuilds when brick, mortar or structure have failed, with the original look kept and new strength built in.
- Typical timeline: 1 to 3 weeks
- Scope: From the roofline or full height
- Reuse: Sound brick cleaned and reused
What it is, and why it matters.
Sometimes mortar and brick have gone too far to repair. We number the bricks as we take the chimney down, save what is sound, clean the usable bricks and rebuild course by course with fresh mortar, a proper liner and new flashing.
Around Nashville we rebuild leaning, cracked and water-damaged chimneys, from the roofline up or all the way to the firebox. Where a chimney has been unsafe, we plan the work in phases so the house stays dry the whole time.
Four things done right.
Original look kept
Sound brick reused and the style matched.
Rebuilt to code
Liner, clearances and flashing done properly.
House stays dry
Temporary covers while the chimney is open.
Strong crown
Sloped, reinforced and sealed.

Chimney Rebuilding: common questions
How do I know if I need a full rebuild?
A leaning, bulging or badly cracked chimney, or one with mortar failure all the way down, usually needs a rebuild. We show you where the damage ends so you can decide with facts.
Can the same brick be reused?
Often a good share of it can, which keeps the original color. We replace broken units with the closest match available.
