Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving down the Don Shula Expressway and SW 88th Street to reach Kendall homes for over 42 years. The homes here, built during the 1970s through 1990s suburban boom, were fitted with factory-built fireplaces as amenities rather than necessities. Decades of South Florida humidity and disuse have left their mark. Rusted dampers, cracked flue tiles, and mortar joints turned to sand are what we find behind the glass doors of homes near Dadeland and the neighborhoods west of the Palmetto Expressway. We know what to look for because we’ve seen it hundreds of times.

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

Our reputation in Kendall was built one home at a time, mostly through neighbors telling neighbors. Homeowners in the 33156 ZIP code and the subdivisions near SW 152nd Avenue call us back for our Fireplace Services in Kendall because we document every inspection with photos they can see, explain the verdict in plain English, and put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing with no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s been our way since 1984.

Response time matters here, especially after a tropical storm floods a flue or our Chimney Cap & Crown in Kendall blows off into the Everglades buffer. Our technicians are typically on-site in Kendall within hours, not days. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and carry the professional-grade materials to complete most jobs in a single visit. No-hassle upfront pricing means the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

We also understand the local wildlife laws that affect our work. Technicians working the western edge of Kendall, near the Bird Drive Basin, regularly encounter active raccoon or opossum dens in uncapped flues. Florida law requires humane removal before any cleaning or liner work proceeds. A technician unfamiliar with Kendall would be caught unprepared. We coordinate the exclusion, then we do the rebuild. Done right, and we stand behind it.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Kendall

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

For Kendall’s aging ranch-style and two-story homes with factory-built fireplaces, a stainless steel liner from Olympia Chimney or DuraFlex is often the only permanent solution once the original clay flue tiles have cracked from decades of thermal cycling and moisture intrusion. We size the liner precisely to your appliance, pull it in one continuous piece where possible, and seal the top with a proper crown wash. A typical stainless steel liner installation in Kendall runs $2,800-$4,500 depending on flue height and accessibility.

Flexible Liner Systems

Many Kendall homes have offset flues or tight smoke chambers that won’t accept a rigid liner. Our flexible liner systems, installed with Gelco components, navigate these offsets while maintaining proper draft. This is especially common in the split-level and two-story homes near Glenvar Heights and the eastern Kendall subdivisions where chimney construction was more complex. Flexible liner installation in Kendall typically costs $2,200-$3,800. We complete most of these in a single day, with photos of the before condition and the installed result for your records.

Liner Replacement

When an existing stainless steel or clay liner has failed due to corrosion, cracking, or animal damage, full replacement is necessary. In Kendall, we see this most often after tropical storms drive debris deep into the flue, or after years of humidity have rusted through a substandard liner installed by a previous owner. We remove the failed liner, inspect the surrounding masonry with our Level-2 camera, and install a new system sized correctly for your fireplace or appliance. Liner replacement in Kendall generally runs $2,500-$4,200.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

South Florida’s 60-plus inches of annual rainfall and hurricane-driven wind loads destroy chimney crowns, spall brick faces, and erode mortar joints. A partial rebuild addresses the damaged section, typically from the roofline up, while preserving sound masonry below. In Kendall’s 1970s-1990s housing stock, we frequently rebuild crowns and upper courses that have simply surrendered to decades of moisture. Partial rebuilds in Kendall start around $3,500 and range to $6,500 for larger structures. We use professional-grade materials and match existing mortar color where possible. A square deal: no surprises on the bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We stock HeatShield refractory mortar, Gelco liner components, and Olympia Chimney stainless systems on every truck serving Kendall. These are not builder-grade substitutes. When a technician arrives at your home near Dadeland or west toward the Everglades buffer, he has the parts to complete the job without a return trip. Famco caps and dampers are also carried for common replacement scenarios. Fast turnaround matters in a climate where an open flue can become a wildlife hotel overnight.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Moisture-destroyed clay flue tiles. Kendall’s relentless humidity and tropical storm cycles prevent flues from ever fully drying. Cracked tiles allow condensation to reach the chimney walls, accelerating mortar failure and creating the musty odors many homeowners report before they realize the liner has failed.
• Rusted factory-built firebox components. The zero-clearance fireplaces installed as status amenities in Kendall’s 1970s-1990s boom were rarely used for actual heating. Decades of disuse allowed humidity to corrode dampers, firebox panels, and connector pipes to the point where replacement, not repair, is the safe option.
• Animal-damaged caps and exposed flues. Neighborhoods near SW 152nd Avenue and the western Everglades edge see consistent raccoon and opossum intrusion. A missing or damaged cap invites nesting, which blocks the flue, introduces parasites, and often destroys an already-compromised liner.
• Crown and mortar failure from wind-driven rain. A single significant storm can crack a crown, flood the firebox, and pack the flue with wet leaves and debris. The damage is often invisible from the ground until water stains appear on interior ceilings or the damper refuses to open.
