Fast, Reliable Chimney Liner & Rebuild Across Westview
Chimney liner replacement and rebuild work in Westview typically runs $2,200-$6,800 depending on whether we’re relining a gas flue or rebuilding a deteriorated masonry stack, and most jobs are completed in a single day once materials are on-site. If you’re smelling musty air near your fireplace or spotting white efflorescence on the exterior brick, the humidity in 33167 has likely been working on your chimney for years. We’re Hearthstone Chimney Co., and we’ve been driving out to Westview from our main operations for over four decades. You can reach us any hour at (844) 803-1545; a live person answers, not a machine.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Westview’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
Westview homeowners don’t call us for creosote. They call because a draft pulled a moldy smell into the living room, or because starlings moved into a flue that hasn’t drawn smoke since the Reagan administration. We’ve earned our reputation here by understanding that reality.
Our technicians know the post-WWII concrete block homes along NW 27th Avenue and the surrounding 33167 streets. They’ve documented hundreds of Level-2 camera inspections in this ZIP, and they know what “rarely used” means for mortar joints that have been soaking up 80% humidity year-round. When we say we’ll be there when we say, we mean it. Most Westview liner and rebuild jobs are completed in one visit, with no-hassle upfront pricing so the number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Westview
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
For Westview homes with gas fireplaces or decorative masonry chimneys that need real protection against our subtropical moisture, we install rigid and semi-rigid stainless steel liners from DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney. These are professional-grade, not the thin-wall substitutes some operators push. A typical stainless liner install in Westview runs $2,200-$3,800. We size for your appliance, document with photos you can see, and back it with our Done Right Promise.
Flexible Liner Installation
Many of the 1950s-1970s CBS homes in Westview have chimney offsets or tight flue passages that won’t accept rigid pipe. Our flexible liner installations, using DuraFlex and Copperfield products, navigate those bends without crushing or ovaling. At $1,800-$3,200 for most Westview jobs, flexible relining is often the practical path when a full rebuild isn’t warranted. We’ll show you the camera footage and give you a plain-English verdict on whether this approach fits your chimney’s condition.
Liner Replacement
Original clay flue tiles in Westview chimneys have spent decades absorbing humidity and dealing with thermal shock from the occasional cool-season fire. Spalling, cracked tiles, and missing mortar between joints are what we find on camera. Liner replacement - pulling the damaged system and installing a new stainless or flexible liner - typically costs $2,800-$4,500 in this market. We handle the full scope: inspection, documentation, removal, installation, and final verification with a second camera pass.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
When the Westview Chimney Cap & Crown has failed and moisture has compromised the upper courses of brick, a partial rebuild becomes necessary. In Westview, we see this most often on homes near the Palmetto Expressway corridor where wind-driven rain during hurricane season has accelerated deterioration. Partial rebuilds range from $3,500-$6,800 depending on height and accessibility. We match existing mortar color where possible, use professional-grade materials from Famco and HeatShield for crown and wash applications, and waterproof the finished work to slow future moisture intrusion.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westview
We don’t substitute. Every liner, fitting, and rebuild component we install in Westview comes from the same professional-grade suppliers we’ve used for decades: DuraFlex for flexible liners and relining kits, HeatShield for cerfractory resurfacing and joint repair, and Famco for caps, dampers, and termination hardware. These aren’t builder-grade products you order online. We stock and source through authorized distribution, which means faster turnaround for Westview homeowners and no waiting on back-ordered parts when your chimney is open to the weather. Russell Haines has specified these brands since the 1980s because they hold up in South Florida’s conditions, and we won’t switch to save a few dollars on material.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Westview Homes
- Moisture-wrecked clay flue tiles. Westview’s humidity doesn’t take a season off. Water wicks through porous mortar and spalls the interior tile surface year after year. By the time a homeowner notices, the liner is often too deteriorated to clean or patch.
- Wildlife nesting in idle flues. Because chimneys here rarely see fire, wasps, starlings, and the occasional raccoon treat them as ready-made housing. A blocked flue is a carbon monoxide hazard even for gas appliances, and removal often reveals liner damage that needs addressing.
- Cracked chimney crowns from thermal cycling. Our brief winter cool snaps followed by rapid reheating stress concrete crowns that were never properly sealed. Water enters the crack, freezes rarely but expands on every cycle, and the crown fails into the flue below.
- Efflorescence and spalling on exterior brick. That white powder on your chimney face is salt deposition from moisture moving through the masonry. In Westview’s 33167 housing stock, it’s a reliable indicator that the interior liner system has been compromised and the chimney is breathing moisture into your attic or living space.

Westview pricing sits in line with northern Miami-Dade generally, though our high humidity and hurricane exposure mean we do more moisture remediation and cap work than markets inland or north of Florida. That can add $200-$400 to a liner job compared to drier climates, but skipping that step guarantees early failure. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, so you can compare with confidence.
Every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing - if it’s not right, we come back with no arguing and no paperwork hassles. Beyond that, manufacturer warranties from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco apply to their respective components.
