Kendale Lakes sits in Miami-Dade’s subtropical zone where virtually no home heats with a wood-burning fireplace - yet the 1970s-1990s concrete-block ranch homes that do have decorative fireplaces go years or decades between fires, leaving flues perpetually damp, mold-colonized, and open to wildlife. Chimney work here is almost never about creosote removal; it is overwhelmingly about moisture intrusion, masonry deterioration, and wildlife exclusion in a climate that punishes any neglected opening. If you live off SW 88th Street, near the Kendale Lakes Plaza, or in the neighborhoods tucked between SW 137th Avenue and SW 147th Avenue, you’ve probably noticed the telltale white efflorescence blooming on your firebox brick or caught the musty smell that means water is getting where it shouldn’t. We’re familiar with every variation of this problem across the 33183 ZIP code, and we’ve rebuilt and re-lined chimneys in this exact housing stock for decades.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
We’ve been serving South Florida since 1984 - over 42 years - and Russell Haines has built this company on the principle that a job done right shouldn’t need to be redone. In Kendale Lakes, that reputation travels by word of mouth through neighborhoods of long-term homeowners who talk to their neighbors. Our technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in a single visit, and we document every inspection with Level-2 camera photos you can see yourself, plus a plain-English verdict that tells you exactly what is wrong and what it will cost to fix.
A live person answers our phones every hour of every day - not a callback queue, not an app. When you call (844) 803-1545, you’ll speak with someone who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician to your Kendale Lakes home, often the same day. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every liner and rebuild job in writing with no arguing: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s how we’ve earned the trust of homeowners who intend to stay in their houses for the long haul.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Kendale Lakes
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
Stainless steel liners are the durable choice for Kendale Lakes homes where the original clay flue tile has cracked from decades of thermal cycling and moisture expansion. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless liners sized precisely to your existing flue, creating a sealed, corrosion-resistant passage that stops carbon monoxide leaks and drafts. In the CBS construction common around SW 120th Street and Country Walk Drive, we often find the original flue was never properly suited to the fireplace’s actual use - or lack thereof - and a stainless liner corrects that mismatch permanently.

Flexible Liner Installation
Flexible liners solve the offset and bend problems we encounter in Kendale Lakes homes where settling has shifted the chimney structure over forty-plus years. Our flexible liners from trusted manufacturers navigate these irregularities without breaking the flue’s protective seal, and they’re particularly effective in the ranch-style homes near Kendale Lakes Plaza where the chimney run may include an offset to clear roof trusses. Most flexible liner installations are completed in one visit with no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Liner Replacement
Full liner replacement becomes necessary when the existing liner is too deteriorated to patch or reline. In Kendale Lakes, we replace liners that have been destroyed by moisture saturation, spalling mortar, or - in a genuinely local phenomenon - green iguana nesting that has collapsed clay tiles from the inside. A liner replacement in these homes often pairs with Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Kendale Lakes to clear biological debris and assess the full condition of the flue before the new liner goes in.

Partial Chimney Rebuild
Partial rebuilds address the top courses of brick, the crown, and the flue opening where South Florida’s driving rains do their worst damage. We rebuild with materials rated for high-humidity exposure, and we always recommend our Chimney Cap & Crown in Kendale Lakes as part of the job. A partial rebuild on a Kendale Lakes ranch home typically runs $2,800-$4,200 and stops the water intrusion that would otherwise destroy a new liner within seasons.
For more extensive damage, our Chimney Repair in Kendale Lakes team handles full rebuilds and structural restoration. And for a complete overview of our capabilities, visit our main Chimney Liner & Rebuild service page.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - no builder-grade substitutes that fail in South Florida’s climate. For Kendale Lakes homeowners, this means we stock the liners, collars, and crown repair compounds your specific job requires, so we’re not ordering parts and making you wait. A typical liner replacement using DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney stainless arrives with all components on the truck, and the technician completes the installation that same day. When we recommend a brand, it’s because we’ve watched it perform in local conditions for years, not because it was the cheapest option in a catalog.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Efflorescence and spalling mortar from humidity saturation. The concrete-block ranch homes throughout Kendale Lakes absorb ambient moisture through uncapped flues, and the resulting salt deposits weaken mortar joints until they crumble. We see this on nearly every unused chimney in neighborhoods east of SW 137th Avenue.
- Collapsed clay flue tiles from iguana nesting. Green iguanas - abundant and invasive throughout Miami-Dade - routinely enter and nest inside unused chimney flues in Kendale Lakes, a service call that is genuinely common here but essentially nonexistent for chimney sweeps anywhere outside South Florida. Their weight and movement fracture aging clay tiles, creating blockages and carbon monoxide hazards.
- Rusted or detached original metal liners. Some 1980s Kendale Lakes homes were built with thin galvanized liners that have corroded through after decades of humid air exposure. These require complete replacement with modern stainless or flexible systems.
- Crown cracks admitting rainwater directly to the flue. The June-October rainy season in western Miami-Dade drives water into any crown imperfection week after week. An unused chimney in Kendale Lakes accumulates moisture damage and mold far faster than it ever would accumulate combustion byproducts, and the crown is usually where that water enters.
Pricing for Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Kendale Lakes, FL
We believe in no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Here is what chimney liner and rebuild work typically costs in the Kendale Lakes market:
| Service | Typical Range in Kendale Lakes |
|---|---|
| Flexible liner installation (standard flue) | $1,800 - $2,800 |
| Stainless steel liner installation | $2,200 - $3,500 |

| Partial chimney rebuild (crown, top courses, cap) | $2,800 - $4,200 |
| Full chimney rebuild (severe structural damage) | $4,500 - $6,500 |
What moves a job toward the higher end: multiple flue offsets requiring custom flexible liner configurations, extensive iguana debris removal and sanitization, structural rebuilding beyond the top two or three courses, or accessibility challenges on steep or tile roofs common in the area. What keeps costs down: catching damage early, maintaining the crown and cap before water reaches the liner, and bundling related work into a single visit. Every estimate is free, and we honor our standing offers: $50 off any repair over $250, free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 5% senior and veteran discount.
