We’ve been driving out to Plantation since 1984, long before the Broward Mall expansion or the growth around Westfield. Russell Haines started this company with the belief that a chimney craftsman should explain what’s wrong, show you the photos, and fix it so you don’t think about it again. In Plantation, that means understanding something most national chains miss: your chimney here degrades from the outside in, not the inside out. The humidity, the UV, the wind-driven rain of hurricane season - that’s what cracks crowns and rusts out caps. We’ve replaced caps on homes along Broward Boulevard where raccoons had nested in the flue, and we’ve rebuilt crowns in Jacaranda where forty years of moisture had turned mortar to sand.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Plantation’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company
Forty-two years in this trade means we’ve seen every crown failure pattern that South Florida humidity can produce. Our technicians carry Gelco and Olympia Chimney caps on the truck, so when we find a rusted-through cap in Plantation Acres, we don’t order parts and make you wait. We measure, cut, and install.
Plantation homeowners call us back because we document everything. Our Level-2 camera inspection ends with photos you can see on a tablet and a plain-English verdict written out. No jargon, no scare tactics. If your crown only needs a HeatShield coating, we’ll tell you. If it’s spalled beyond repair and needs a full rebuild, we’ll show you why.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job in 33388 and surrounding Plantation ZIPs - in writing, no arguing. If water still gets in, we come back. That’s the Keystone Standard: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day. Not a callback queue. Not an app. When a tropical storm blows a cap off your chimney on a Saturday evening, someone picks up.
Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Plantation
Cap Installation
New cap installation in Plantation typically costs $280-$520 for a standard single-flue stainless steel unit, or $480-$780 for a multi-flue cap with mesh screening. We size for your flue count, not a generic box. In neighborhoods like Plantation Acres, where ranch homes often have dual-flue setups for original wood-burning fireplaces and later gas inserts, we spec caps that vent both correctly without cross-drafting. Our Chimney Cap & Crown team measures on-site - no guesswork.
Cap Replacement
Replacement runs $320-$580 when the flue collar and mounting are still sound, or $620-$890 if hurricane wind has torn the mounting flange and we need to rebuild the attachment point. Plantation’s original 1960s-1980s housing stock often has caps that were never properly flashed to begin with. We see this in the older sections near Nob Hill Road, where builder-grade caps lasted maybe fifteen years before the salt air and humidity got underneath. We pull the old unit, inspect the flue tile for hidden cracks, and install a replacement that actually seals.
Crown Repair
Crown repair in Plantation ranges from $380 for crack sealing and waterproofing to $1,200-$1,800 for a full crown rebuild with proper overhang and drip edge. The crown is the concrete slab that tops your masonry chimney, and in Broward County’s climate, it’s the first thing to fail. We’ve rebuilt crowns in Lauderhill-adjacent Plantation neighborhoods where the original pour was too thin, too flat, and had no reinforcement - standard practice in the 1970s, inadequate now. Our rebuilds use a proper 4-inch minimum thickness with expansion joints and a slope that sheds water away from the flue.
Crown Coating
Crown coating with HeatShield or similar professional-grade membrane runs $450-$680 and adds 10-15 years of service life to a sound but weathered crown. This isn’t paint. It’s a flexible, breathable sealant that bridges hairline cracks while allowing moisture vapor to escape. For Plantation homes with crowns that are structurally intact but showing early spalling or surface erosion - common in Jacaranda and the neighborhoods off Sunrise Boulevard - coating is often the right middle path. We also handle Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Plantation when the damage goes deeper than the surface.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We stock and install professional-grade caps and crown materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco - brands that hold up to South Florida’s specific punishment of salt air, UV, and wind-driven rain. No builder-grade substitutes. When we arrive at your Plantation home, the right parts are already on the truck for most standard flue sizes. Custom caps for oversized or decorative flues typically fabricate within three business days. We also provide Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Plantation, though here that service more often means critter removal and moisture inspection than traditional soot sweeping.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Cracked crowns from thermal shock during rare cold snaps. Plantation’s near-year-round warmth means masonry never fully acclimates to the occasional 40-degree January night. When homeowners light a fire in a long-cold chimney, the rapid temperature change can split an already-weathered crown. We inspect for this every hurricane season.
- Missing or damaged caps after tropical storm winds. Hurricane-season gusts tear off poorly secured caps and drop them into yards along Flamingo Road and throughout the 33388 area. The open flue then admits rain, squirrels, and the Muscovy ducks that nest in uncapped chimneys across Broward County from March through October.
- Efflorescence and spalling from 75% average humidity. White powder on your chimney brick means moisture is migrating through the masonry, dissolving salts, and depositing them on the surface. Left alone, the freeze-thaw of a rare cold night pops the brick face off. Crown overhang and proper cap installation are the preventive fix.
- Original 1970s-1980s crowns that were never properly constructed. Plantation’s planned subdivisions went up fast, and chimney crowns were often an afterthought - flat, thin, unreinforced concrete that pooled water. Forty years later, these crowns have eroded to gravel. We replace them with proper pours that shed water and protect the flue.
