Pompano Beach · Broward CountyStone chimneys are a statement — keeping one sound in beach weather is a craft of its own.
A natural stone chimney plays by different rules than brick. The units are irregular, the joints are wider and carry more of the weather, and the repair grammar is different: matching stone by type and coloring, packing joints that vary from finger-width to fist-width, and respecting how the original mason coursed the wall. Around Pompano Beach you'll find stone on upscale mid-century customs, fireplace surrounds gone exterior, and newer coastal builds that wanted texture.
Salt air treats stone gently but goes hard after the mortar between — wide joints mean more mortar exposed to wind-driven rain than any brick wall carries. Our stone work starts at those joints: raking out what has failed, repacking in compatible mortar, and replacing individual stones only where the material itself has fractured or shed.
Failed mortar raked and repacked — the joints do the weather-fighting on a stone chimney.
Fractured or loose stones matched by type and tone, reset in compatible mortar.

Meaningfully. Stone units are irregular, joints are wider and more exposed, and matching is about type and tone rather than a manufactured size. It's the same trade but a different craft within it.
Usually closely — most stone used here can be sourced or matched from salvage. Where an exact twin doesn't exist, we place near-matches where the eye doesn't linger and tell you exactly what we're doing.
That's the normal pattern: stone outlives its joints by decades. Wide joints carry the weather, so repacking them is routine maintenance on any stone structure — especially near salt air.
Sometimes, with breathable products chosen for the specific stone — some stones react badly to the wrong sealer. We advise per material, not per habit.
Yes — much of what reads as stone here is veneer over block, which has its own attachment and moisture questions. We work both and tell you which one you own.
