Expert Chimney Repair Services in Hollywood, FL
Your chimney does more than just vent smoke. It protects your home from water damage, carbon monoxide, and fire hazards. When chimneys develop cracks, lean to one side, or show other signs of damage, they need immediate attention. Here in Hollywood, FL, the combination of salt air, heavy rains, and intense sun takes a toll on masonry chimneys over time.
We have repaired and rebuilt hundreds of chimneys throughout Hollywood and surrounding areas. Whether your chimney needs minor tuckpointing, crown replacement, or complete rebuilding from the roofline up, we handle it all. Our team understands the unique challenges that Florida chimneys face and we use materials and techniques specifically suited to our climate. We work on residential chimneys of all sizes, from single-story ranch homes to multi-story properties with multiple flues.
Common Chimney Problems We Fix
Chimney problems rarely fix themselves. Small cracks grow larger, minor leaks become major water damage, and unstable chimneys become dangerous. The good news is that catching problems early often means simpler, less expensive brick repairs instead of complete rebuilds. Here are the most common issues we see and fix:
- Cracked or deteriorating mortar joints between bricks
- Damaged or missing chimney crowns that let water inside
- Leaning or tilting chimneys caused by foundation settlement
- Spalling bricks where the face of the brick flakes off
- Damaged flashing that allows water into your attic or walls
- Crumbling interior flue liners that create fire hazards
Each of these problems requires a different approach, and we have the experience to diagnose the issue correctly and recommend the right solution. Sometimes a simple masonry repair is all you need. Other times, partial or complete rebuilding is the safest option. We always explain what we find and give you honest recommendations.
When Rebuilding Makes More Sense Than Repair
Not every damaged chimney can or should be repaired. If your chimney is severely deteriorated, leaning more than an inch or two, or has major structural issues, rebuilding is often the smarter choice. Trying to patch up a fundamentally unsound chimney wastes money and leaves you with an unsafe structure.
Complete chimney rebuilding means tearing down the damaged section and building it back properly from scratch. We match your existing brick as closely as possible so the new work blends seamlessly. Modern rebuilds also include improved flashing systems, proper caps, and correctly sized crowns that prevent future water problems. Many of our rebuilt chimneys look better than the original and will easily last another 50 to 100 years with minimal maintenance.
