The craft, done properly
CHIMNEY REBUILD IN SOUTHLAKE, TX
Southlake's housing stock is young by masonry standards — largely 1990s and 2000s — which makes the rebuild calls here distinctive. This is rarely a chimney worn out by age. It is almost always a chimney that has moved. North Texas expansive clay swells through a wet spring and shrinks hard through a drought summer, and a heavy stone or brick stack standing on it moves with the ground, opening joints and eventually pulling out of plumb.
Brown Chimney prices rebuilds by counting every brick or stone in the scope, so the number comes from your chimney rather than an estimate from the driveway. Larger scopes drop to a lower rate per unit. Crown, flashing, and cap are rebuilt in the same visit and quoted as their own lines. If the material is sound and only the joints have failed, repointing is the cheaper answer — and we will say so first.

The Work
What a rebuild does for a Southlake chimney.
Rebuilding on ground that is still moving buys you a handsome chimney and the same problem in five years. That is why the assessment here starts below the roofline: has the movement settled, or is the soil still working? Where it is ongoing, that gets addressed before a single course is laid.
Where the cause is weather rather than movement, the fix is straightforward — failed courses down, new material up on sound masonry, crown and cap renewed at the same time. Matching is usually manageable on a home this age; the brick and stone used in nineties and two-thousands construction is largely still produced. If the chimney is decorative and unused, price removal first — it ends the upkeep instead of restarting it.
Our Dallas crew covers the southern metroplex, and together we handle the Dallas–Fort Worth service area. See the local service list on the Southlake page. Full method and standards on our chimney rebuild service page.
When to book
What are the signs your Southlake chimney needs rebuilding?
Rebuild territory looks different from repair territory. These are the signs our north DFW crews see most — several driven by soil movement rather than weather.
Brick faces spalling, flaking, or falling off entirely
Cracks running through bricks, not just along the joints
The stack is leaning, bowing, or pulling away from the house
Whole sections of mortar are gone and bricks move by hand
Repair quotes are climbing toward rebuild cost
An inspection report flagged structural, not cosmetic, damage
If only the mortar has failed and the material is sound, this is a repair, not a rebuild. An inspection settles which, and the fee is credited toward repair work booked within 30 days.

Rebuilding is the last quote we want to write, not the first. If the brick is sound, we'll tell you to repoint it and we'll come back in fifteen years.
Brown Chimney
The Brown Chimney Standard · Southlake
Built for hail, heat, and shifting clay.
Tarrant County hail country
Hail dents flashing and chase covers without leaking that day — the failure shows up weeks later. We check after every major storm season.
Clay soil moves what sits on it
North Texas clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and a heavy chimney on top of it moves too. We establish whether it has settled before rebuilding anything.
1-year workmanship warranty
The labor on our repairs and installations is covered for a full year — in writing, not in promises.
Price fixed before we start
Measured on site, quoted in writing, approved by you — then the work begins. Never the other way around.
What to expect
What happens during a chimney rebuild?
Southlake rebuilds are assessed and quoted before anything comes down. Scope, access, unit count, and any sign of ongoing soil movement are documented on site.
01
Assessment & brick count
Every brick in the rebuild scope is counted on site and the matching tier rate applied. Height, access, and the condition of the masonry below are documented with photos before a number is quoted.

02
Written estimate first
Rebuilds are never quoted verbally. The written estimate lists every line — brick count, crown rebuild, flashing, and cap — so you see the full total before any demolition begins, not after.
03
Controlled demolition
The failing section comes down course by course from the top. Sound masonry below is protected, debris is contained, and nothing travels through the house.
04
Rebuild with matched brick
New brick sourced to match your original, laid to the existing bond pattern. Crown, flashing, and cap are rebuilt in the same visit and quoted as their own lines on the estimate you already approved.
05
Seal, walkthrough & clean
Crown coat sealed, flashing set, cap fitted. The finished work is walked through with you, debris is hauled off site, and the labor is backed by the 1-year workmanship warranty.
For transparency
What this visit doesn't cover.
Foundation or soil remediation where movement is the underlying cause — a separate trade

FAQS
Common questions about masonry rebuild in Southlake
How is a chimney rebuild priced in Southlake?
Brown Chimney prices rebuilds by counting every brick or stone in the scope and applying the matching tier rate, so larger rebuilds cost less per unit. Crown, flashing, and cap are quoted as separate lines in the same written estimate — nothing is added afterward. The tier rates are on our rebuild pricing page.
Why is my Southlake chimney leaning?
Almost always the soil. Tarrant County clay swells when wet and shrinks in drought, and that seasonal movement tilts anything heavy on it. Rebuilding without establishing whether the movement has stopped means repeating the work.
My house is only 25 years old — why does it need a rebuild?
Because age is rarely the cause here. Soil movement, a severe hail event, or a poorly detailed original build will produce failure long before weathering would. The assessment identifies which, because the fix differs for each.
Can you match stone on a custom home?
Usually. Material used in 1990s and 2000s Southlake construction is largely still produced, so matching is more achievable than on genuinely old masonry. We show you the closest option before ordering either way.
Do you rebuild chimneys outside Southlake?
Yes. From our Town Square office we cover north DFW, and our Dallas crew handles the southern metroplex — together covering Dallas, Southlake and homes within about 20 miles of each. Farther out, an estimate visit is $150, credited toward work booked within 30 days.
