What's covered in an Old Northwood brick chimney repair job
In practical terms, an Old Northwood brick chimney repair looks like this. Brick spalls when water gets inside and pushes the face off. South Florida never freezes, but constant humidity and salt keep masonry saturated, so spalling here is driven by moisture and salt rather than frost — and it spreads if the source is not sealed. Around Broadway corridor and the Intracoastal Waterway just east of the district off Flagler Drive, salt and humidity decide the materials, so we default to marine-grade hardware here. We size the work to your specific Old Northwood chimney and the South Florida conditions around it, not to a one-line template.
- Spalled brick cut out and replaced with a match
- Joints repointed to stop further water entry
- Stucco-clad chimneys patched and re-coated where used

Old Northwood was founded in 1921 and its 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes have roughly century-old masonry chimneys, so deteriorated crowns and mortar joints, combined with the district's nearness to the Intracoastal, call for careful tuckpointing and waterproofing. Most Old Northwood chimneys, from Broadway corridor to North Dixie Highway, belong to Founded in 1921, Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes built in the 1920s alongside later ranch and A-frame houses, with stucco and frame walls, tile roofs and original masonry chimneys, so we match the brick chimney repair to that construction rather than a generic spec. We run the same route across Old Northwood and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Pleasant City and Northwood Hills.
