We’ve been driving to Pinewood since 1984, long before the Palmetto Expressway expansion changed the commute. Russell Haines started Hearthstone Chimney Co. that year, and our trucks still roll through the neighborhoods off NW 7th Avenue and along NW 119th Street where the concrete-block ranches sit shoulder to shoulder, their chimneys quietly deteriorating in the humidity. When a Pinewood homeowner calls (844) 803-1545, a live person answers - 24 hours a day, every day - and we can usually be there within the hour because we know these streets.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Pinewood’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
Pinewood homeowners don’t hire contractors twice unless the first job holds up. We’ve returned to the same blocks near Pinewood Park year after year, often for second-generation customers whose parents called us in the 1990s. That only happens when the work is done right - and we stand behind it.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. In Pinewood, where chimneys have often been decorative for decades, we frequently find that the “emergency” a homeowner feared is actually a straightforward Chimney Cap & Crown in Pinewood repair, or that a liner quoted for replacement by another company only needs a HeatShield resurfacing. Our free second opinion on any written estimate has saved Pinewood residents thousands.
Calls are answered by a live person, not a queue. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when we say we’ll arrive. Most jobs finish in one visit. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice - a square deal, no surprises on the bill.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Pinewood
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
Stainless steel liners from our Fireplace Services in Pinewood are the right choice for most homes with active fireplaces or converted gas inserts. The 316Ti alloy we use from Olympia Chimney resists the chlorides in Miami-Dade’s salt air better than standard 304-grade material, which matters when your flue cap is missing and Atlantic moisture has been cycling through the system for years. A typical stainless steel liner installation in Pinewood runs $2,800-$4,200 for a single-flue ranch chimney, including removal of deteriorated clay tile and proper top-sealing with a Gelco cap.
Flexible Liner Installation
Flexible liners solve the offset flues and tight smoke chambers common in Pinewood’s post-war construction, where chimneys were often built with a jog to accommodate rooflines or interior walls. Our DuraFlex Pro liners navigate these bends without the destructive masonry work a rigid liner would require. In the 33167 area, where many homes have never had their chimney opened up, flexible installation preserves original brickwork while bringing the flue up to NFPA 211 standards. Expect $3,200-$4,800 for most flexible liner jobs in Pinewood, with the higher end covering two-story ranches near West Little River’s boundary.
Liner Replacement
Clay flue tile in Pinewood’s original chimneys was never meant to last 60-70 years in perpetual humidity. We regularly pull out cracked, spalled, and mortar-deteriorated tile from homes near NW 27th Avenue that have been sending carbon monoxide into wall cavities through hidden liner gaps. Our replacement process includes full camera documentation before and after, and we coordinate with Miami-Dade’s building department on permits when structural modification is required. Liner replacement in Pinewood typically falls between $3,500-$5,500.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
When the upper courses of a Pinewood chimney have succumbed to spalling - the freeze-thaw cycle isn’t the culprit here, it’s the daily thermal shock of sun-baked brick meeting 75% humidity and tropical downpours - a partial rebuild restores structural integrity without the cost of starting from the roofline. We match existing mortar color and texture, and we always install proper through-wall flashing where the chimney penetrates the roof, a detail often omitted in original 1960s Pinewood construction. Partial rebuilds in this market start at $3,200 and typically top out around $6,500 unless extensive rot repair is needed in the roof framing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pinewood
We don’t substitute builder-grade materials and hope for the best. Hearthstone stocks HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing compound, Gelco stainless caps and chase covers, and Olympia Chimney liner systems in our warehouse, which means Pinewood jobs aren’t delayed waiting for parts to ship. When a hurricane-stripped cap on a home near Pinewood Park needs replacement before the next storm, we can often have it handled same-day. Famco dampers and Copperfield sealants round out the inventory for the finishing details that determine whether a repair lasts five years or twenty-five.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Pinewood Homes
- Moisture-saturated clay tile crumbling in unused flues. In Pinewood’s year-round humidity, chimneys that haven’t drawn a fire in decades stay damp enough to decompose their own liners. The damage is invisible until a camera inspection reveals missing tile sections or exposed mortar joints.
- Wildlife blockages preventing proper venting. Because Pinewood chimneys sit idle in warm, humid conditions, chimney swifts and raccoons colonize open flues so reliably that wildlife removal and cap installation are often the primary ticket - not sweeping. A technician arriving expecting a standard cleaning will frequently find a full nest or animal blockage before they can even scope the liner.
- Hurricane-damaged caps and crowns allowing direct water intrusion. June through November, tropical systems strip or crack chimney caps across northern Miami-Dade. In Pinewood’s 33167 ZIP, we’ve replaced dozens of caps in the weeks following named storms, often discovering that the liner beneath has been taking direct rainfall for multiple seasons.
- Single-wythe masonry chimneys with deteriorated mortar joints. The 1950s-1970s ranch homes that define Pinewood’s housing stock were built with chimneys as cosmetic features, not primary heat sources. Their mortar joints, crowns, and caps have frequently been neglected for decades, accelerating spalling and structural compromise in Miami-Dade’s salt-laden air.

What moves a Pinewood job toward the higher end: two-story height requiring additional scaffolding, multiple flues, hidden structural damage to the smoke chamber or firebox, and permit requirements when the rebuild exceeds 50% of chimney height. What keeps costs controlled: catching deterioration before it reaches the roofline, choosing resurfacing over replacement when clay tile is sound but mortar joints have failed, and bundling cap installation with liner work.
