We’ve been working in Lee County since 1984, and Fort Myers presents a specific set of conditions you won’t find inland. The Gulf salt air, year-round humidity, and the particular age and construction of homes here - mostly wood-frame stucco with factory-built metal fireplace systems from the 1980s through early 2000s - mean chimney liners and their surrounding structures deteriorate differently than they do up north. We know what to look for because we’ve documented it thousands of times.

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

Fort Myers homeowners call us back. They refer their neighbors in Cypress Lake and the Villas. After 42 years in this region, our reputation is built on showing up when we say we will, explaining the repair in plain English, and pricing it upfront with no surprises on the bill.

Our response time to Fort Myers is typically 24-48 hours for standard liner and rebuild consultations, and same-day for urgent cases - a chase cover blown off in a storm, a flue exposed to rain, a bird nest completely blocking the flue days before a snowbird’s November arrival. We know the McGregor Boulevard corridor’s older masonry stock, the zero-clearance systems common in 33919 and 33967, and the specific salt-air corrosion patterns that show up in homes within a few miles of the Caloosahatchee.

Every inspection ends with photos you can see and a written verdict. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every liner and rebuild job - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s the Keystone Standard.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Fort Myers

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

Stainless steel liners are the standard for Fort Myers homes with masonry chimneys, particularly the older homes along McGregor and in the historic downtown district. We install rigid and flexible DuraFlex liners rated for all fuel types, sized precisely to your flue. In Fort Myers’s humid, salt-influenced environment, we specify 316Ti alloy or higher for maximum corrosion resistance - a detail that matters when your flue sits dormant for months and moisture accumulates.

Flexible Liner Installation

Flexible liners solve the offset and bend problems common in Fort Myers’s mid-century and 1970s construction, where chimneys were often routed around structural elements in wood-frame homes. A flexible DuraFlex liner navigates these offsets without breaking the flue’s draft integrity. We see this need frequently in the Villas and Iona areas, where ranch-style homes from the 1970s and 1980s have chimney runs that were never straight to begin with.

Liner Replacement

Factory-built metal fireplace systems - the majority of Fort Myers’s housing stock - don’t use traditional clay liners, but they do have factory-specified metal flue walls and transition components that corrode and fail. When we replace a liner in these systems, we’re often working with Olympia Chimney or Famco components engineered for that specific unit. We document the manufacturer, model, and condition with photos, then source the correct replacement. No builder-grade substitutes.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

Hurricane Ian exposed thousands of Fort Myers chimneys to driving rain and debris impact. A partial rebuild addresses damaged chase structures, deteriorated crown concrete, and compromised firebox walls without tearing down the entire assembly - learn more about Fort Myers Chimney Cap & Crown protection. In 33965 and 33966, we’ve rebuilt chases that had been leaking since the storm, with water damage hidden behind stucco until our camera inspection found it. The work is done right - and we stand behind it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials: DuraFlex stainless liners, HeatShield cerfractory flue resurfacing, Gelco chimney caps and chase covers, Olympia Chimney factory-built components, Famco termination fittings, and Copperfield masonry supplies. We stock common liner diameters and chase cover sizes for Fort Myers’s most prevalent fireplace models, which means faster turnaround and fewer return trips. When a snowbird calls from Ohio in late October wanting their Iona home ready by Thanksgiving, that local inventory matters.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Fort Myers Homes

• Corroded metal components from salt-air exposure. Gulf-influenced salt air attacks chimney caps, chase covers, dampers, and the metal walls of factory-built fireplace systems. We regularly find through-rust on chase covers in south Fort Myers homes less than fifteen years old - replacement with a Gelco stainless or copper cover stops the leak before it reaches the liner.
• Humidity-driven liner deterioration in dormant flues. Fort Myers fireplaces see minimal use, so flues stay cool and humid year-round. Clay liners spall and flake; metal liners pit. Our Level-2 camera inspection catches this before the homeowner smells smoke in the living room on the rare night they decide to build a fire.
• Animal nesting blocking prefab flues. Homes in 33908 and 33912 sit vacant May through October, prime nesting season. Raccoons and birds build in the cool, sheltered chimney chase. We remove the obstruction, install a proper cap, and inspect the liner for damage from urine or claw penetration.
• Hurricane Ian legacy damage. The September 2022 storm knocked off chase covers and damaged flashing across Lee County. Many homes went months with exposed flues before inspection, allowing rainwater to degrade liners and saturate surrounding framing. We’re still finding and correcting this damage in Fort Myers properties.
