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

We’ve been answering calls with a live person for over 42 years, and that hasn’t changed since we started serving the University Park area. Our technicians know the difference between a decorative chimney on a 1960s CBS home near Tamiami Park and a functional fireplace system in the newer builds off Flagler Street, and they inspect accordingly through our Fireplace Services in University Park.

University Park homeowners have left us reviews mentioning specifically that we showed them photos of their cracked flue liner and explained what was wrong without pushing unnecessary work. We don’t have a review count or star rating to quote, but we can say this: our reputation here was built one job at a time, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we come back. In writing, no arguing.

Response time to University Park is typically same-day or next-day. We’re not crossing county lines from another region; we know that a chimney leaking into a home near the 33222 ZIP code needs attention before the next afternoon thunderstorm, not next week.

Our local knowledge runs deeper than geography. We understand that University Park’s subtropical climate means your chimney has likely never seen creosote buildup, but it has almost certainly seen moisture damage, spalling mortar, and the kind of wildlife intrusion that comes with uncapped flues in iguana country.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in University Park

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

For University Park homes with functional wood-burning or gas fireplaces that need a new flue pathway, we install rigid and semi-rigid stainless steel liners from trusted manufacturers. These are particularly important in the older CBS homes near FIU where the original clay tile liner has cracked from decades of thermal cycling and moisture penetration. A stainless steel liner gives you a sealed, corrosion-resistant flue that meets current NFPA 211 standards. Most installations in University Park run $2,800-$4,200 for a single-flue system.

Flexible Liner Installation

Flexible liners solve the problem of offset chimneys and tight flue passages that we encounter frequently in University Park’s mid-century construction. When the flue has shifted or the original builder used an unconventional chase design, a flexible stainless liner from DuraFlex navigates the bends without breaking the bank. We see this often in the ranch-style homes off Coral Way extensions, where chimneys were sometimes afterthoughts to the original floor plan. Flexible liner jobs in University Park typically range from $2,200-$3,800.

Liner Replacement

Sometimes the liner isn’t missing, it’s just failed beyond repair. In University Park, we replace liners that have deteriorated from moisture intrusion, improper original installation, or in one memorable case near SW 107th Avenue, complete collapse after an iguana nest compromised the clay tile structure. We remove the damaged material, inspect the surrounding masonry with our Level-2 camera, and install a new system sized correctly for your appliance. Liner replacement in University Park generally costs $2,500-$4,500 depending on accessibility and whether the crown needs rebuilding at the same time.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

When the liner damage extends into the surrounding masonry, a partial rebuild becomes necessary. This is common in University Park homes where the chimney crown cracked years ago and water has been working its way down through the structure. We rebuild from the roofline up, replacing damaged brick or block, installing proper flashing, and capping the chimney with a Gelco or Famco cap sized to keep out both rain and wildlife. Partial rebuilds in University Park typically run $3,500-$6,500. We also handle Chimney Repair in University Park for less extensive masonry work.

Trusted Brands We Service in University Park

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials: HeatShield for cerfractory flue resurfacing, Gelco and Famco for Chimney Cap & Crown in University Park and screening designed to stop even determined iguanas, and Olympia Chimney for stainless components that hold up to salt air and humidity. We stock common liner diameters and crown repair materials locally, which means most University Park jobs don’t wait on parts. When a homeowner near Miller Drive calls with water pouring down their fireplace face, we can often have the right cap and flashing on the truck that same morning.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in University Park Homes

• Moisture-saturated clay tile liners. University Park’s year-round humidity and seasonal deluges turn uncapped chimneys into vertical rain collectors. The original clay tile absorbs water, freezes during the occasional cold snap, and spalls from the inside out. By the time a homeowner notices a leak, the liner is often in multiple pieces.
• Iguana and bird nesting damage. South Florida’s invasive green iguana population treats uncapped chimneys like apartment complexes. We’ve pulled nests, carcasses, and hatchlings from flues across University Park, and the acidic waste accelerates liner deterioration while blocking proper draft. Every inspection we perform includes wildlife probing before any other work.
• Crown failure from UV and thermal cycling. The concrete crowns on University Park’s 1970s and 1980s chimneys weren’t built with South Florida’s sun exposure in mind. They crack, they flake, and they funnel water directly onto the liner and smoke chamber. We rebuild with proper slope and overhang, sealed with materials rated for tropical exposure.
• Decorative chimneys with no functional liner at all. Many homes near FIU were built with chimneys that were never meant to vent a real fire. When a new owner tries to use one, they discover a hollow block column with no flue, no liner, and no safe path for combustion gases. We design and install proper liner systems for these conversions.
