We’ve been working in the 33919 corridor for over 42 years. Russell Haines started this company in 1984, and our trucks have been turning onto McGregor Boulevard since the days when those mid-century ranch homes were still young. We know the difference between a chimney that was built to burn wood and one that was built to impress dinner guests, because in McGregor, most of them were built for the second reason. That changes everything about how they fail and how we fix them.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is McGregor’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company

McGregor homeowners don’t call us because we’re the cheapest. They call us because their neighbor called us in 2019 after Hurricane Irma, or because their inspector flagged efflorescence on the chimney face before a sale, or because they finally looked up their flue and saw daylight where there should be liner. Word gets around in a community where people stay put.

Our response time to McGregor averages under 90 minutes during business hours. We’re not dispatching from Tampa or Miami. We’re local, and we schedule around the realities of Southwest Florida weather and the wildlife seasons that affect when we can legally enter a chimney.

Every inspection we perform in McGregor ends with photographs you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand. No jargon, no scare tactics, no pressure. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every liner and rebuild job in writing, no arguing, no paperwork to file if something isn’t right. We come back and we make it right.

Russell Haines built this company on the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. That’s not a slogan on a truck. It’s how we handle every chimney on McGregor Boulevard.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in McGregor

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

Stainless steel liners are the right choice for most McGregor homes with original clay tile flues that have cracked from decades of humidity cycling. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless systems rated for all fuel types, sized precisely to your fireplace or appliance. A typical stainless liner installation in McGregor runs $2,200-$3,800. Most are completed in one day, with the old clay removed or left in place depending on condition.

Flexible Liner Installation

Flexible liners solve the offset problems common in McGregor’s 1960s and 1970s construction, where chimneys were often built with bends to accommodate rooflines or interior walls. Our flexible systems from DuraFlex navigate these offsets without breaking the flue’s integrity. Flexible liner jobs in McGregor typically range $1,800-$3,200. We pull the liner through with minimal masonry disturbance, preserving the decorative brickwork that gives these homes their character.

Liner Replacement

Full liner replacement becomes necessary when the existing clay tile is fractured, when a previous liner has corroded, or when converting a decorative wood-burning fireplace to a functional gas insert. In McGregor, we see this most often after a home sale inspection reveals that the “chimney” has no functional flue at all, just a decorative chase full of debris and moisture damage. Liner replacement in 33919 runs $2,500-$4,500 depending on height, diameter, and whether we need to repair the smoke chamber or firebox first.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

Partial rebuilds address the crown, the top courses of brick, and the interior flue system without dismantling the entire chimney structure. This is the most common rebuild scenario in McGregor, where the lower chimney often remains sound while the crown and upper brick have succumbed to water intrusion. A partial rebuild with new McGregor Chimney Cap & Crown and liner typically costs $3,500-$5,500. We match existing mortar color and brick profile so the repair disappears into the original architecture.

Trusted Brands We Service in McGregor

We stock professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco in our local warehouse, which means no waiting three weeks for a special-order part while your chimney leaks into your living room. HeatShield’s cerfractory resurfacing system lets us restore eroded smoke chambers in McGregor’s older flues without a full tear-out. Gelco caps and Famco termination kits handle the wind-driven rain that comes off the Gulf during summer thunderstorms. We don’t use builder-grade substitutes, and we don’t substitute brands mid-job without explaining why. The materials we specify are the materials you get, documented in your estimate and on your invoice.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in McGregor Homes

• Moisture-destroyed clay tile liners. In McGregor’s subtropical climate, uncapped or poorly capped chimneys collect rainwater and humidity year-round. The original clay tile liners absorb that moisture, crack during dry spells, and eventually collapse into the flue. We find this in nearly every pre-1985 home on McGregor Boulevard that hasn’t had liner work.
• Spalling brick and eroded mortar from salt air and humidity. The 33919 corridor sits close enough to the Caloosahatchee and the Gulf that salt-laden air accelerates masonry deterioration. Brick faces flake off, mortar joints turn to sand, and water finds new paths into the structure. Our rebuilds address the source, not just the symptom.
• Hidden Hurricane Ian damage from September 2022. The storm’s sustained winds and storm surge compromised flashing, dislodged caps, and cracked crowns across older Fort Myers-area neighborhoods. Two years later, we’re still discovering chimneys where water has been entering through Ian-damaged points, rotting adjacent framing and growing mold inside the flue.
• Chimney swift nesting in dormant flues. These federally protected birds colonize McGregor’s unused masonry chimneys from April through September. Any liner or rebuild work attempted during nesting season risks federal violation under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We schedule wildlife-season inspections accordingly and prioritize cap installation after the birds depart to prevent reoccupation.
