Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We have swept chimneys in Kendall’s serving Pinecrest, FL-adjacent ranch homes and the two-story subdivisions near Dadeland Mall long enough to know which builders used zero-clearance units that are now thirty years past their service life. Our customers in the 33156 zip code and along SW 88th Street do not call us for speed. They call because we document what we find with a Level-2 camera inspection, show them the photos, and explain the verdict in plain English before any work begins.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco on every truck. Most jobs finish in one visit. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. And every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, with no arguing. If it is not right, we come back. That is how we have operated for over 42 years, and it is why Kendall homeowners who have been burned by contractors before tend to stay with us.
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. A real voice.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Kendall
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
In Kendall, this rarely means removing thick creosote. It means clearing wet debris, nesting material, and the occasional raccoon family from flues that have sat unused through decades of humidity. Our sweeps include a full camera inspection so you see what we see. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Kendall.
Chimney Repair
Cracked crowns, spalling brick, and deteriorated mortar joints are standard findings in Kendall’s 1970s-1990s housing stock. We repair with professional-grade materials and document before-and-after condition. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Kendall.
Fireplace Services
Factory-built fireplaces in Kendall homes were often installed as amenities rather than heat sources, then ignored for twenty years. We inspect fireboxes, dampers, and gas log sets for safe operation, replacing rusted components with parts from Copperfield and Olympia Chimney. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Kendall.
Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper cap is non-negotiable in South Florida. Without one, sixty-plus inches of annual rainfall and tropical storm wind enter your flue directly. Learn about our Chimney Cap & Crown in Kendall, where we install caps and rebuild crowns using materials rated for hurricane-zone exposure.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
When moisture and decades of disuse have compromised the flue liner, explore our Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Kendall - we install stainless steel liners from DuraFlex or perform partial rebuilds as needed. Every liner job includes a written warranty and photo documentation.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kendall
Our trucks run regular routes through Glenvar Heights, FL and other areas where Kendall’s aging chimney stock is concentrated. Typical response time is same-day or next-day throughout the 33156 area.
- Dadeland - dense two-story homes with original factory-built fireplaces now due for inspection
- East Kendall near SW 72nd Street - ranch and split-level homes from the 1980s building boom
- West Kendall near SW 152nd Avenue - newer construction but highest wildlife intrusion rates due to Everglades proximity
- The Crossings - large homes with multiple fireplaces, often unused since original construction
Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Kendall’s subtropical climate reshapes what chimney cleaning means here. Wood-burning fireplaces are almost never used for heat, so the dominant hazard is not creosote buildup but wildlife intrusion and moisture damage. Raccoons, opossums, and chimney swifts nest in unprotected flues. Sixty-plus inches of annual rainfall and recurring tropical storms destroy caps, crack crowns, and pack flues with wet debris. A single significant storm can simultaneously destroy a cap, flood the firebox, and drive a season’s worth of debris deep into the flue.
The relentless humidity between storms prevents flues from ever fully drying, making moisture remediation a near-universal add-on to any cleaning job in Kendall. Meanwhile, Kendall’s western edge abuts the Everglades conservation buffer. Technicians working neighborhoods near SW 152nd Avenue or the Bird Drive Basin consistently find active raccoon or opossum dens inside uncapped flues. Florida law requires these animals be removed humanely before any cleaning proceeds, so local pros must be prepared to pause a job and coordinate wildlife exclusion. A technician arriving from a northern market would not anticipate this.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Kendall boomed as upscale Miami-Dade suburban sprawl through the 1970s-1990s, producing large ranch-style and two-story homes often built with factory-built zero-clearance wood-burning fireplaces as status amenities despite the climate. These units have sat largely idle for decades and are now at or past their rated service life. Decades of disuse combined with humidity have left mortar joints, smoke chambers, and flue liners in poor condition. Deteriorated fireboxes and rusted dampers are the norm, not the exception.
This is why a Kendall chimney cleaning is fundamentally a wildlife-exclusion and waterproofing trade, not a soot-removal one. Anyone who treats it otherwise misses the actual risks.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Kendall
A standard Level-1 chimney sweep and inspection in Kendall runs $189-$249. Level-2 camera inspections with photo documentation range from $249-$349. The final price depends on access difficulty and what we find inside the flue. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free estimate.
Yes. We answer calls with a live person 24 hours a day, and same-day service is often available for wildlife concerns in Kendall, especially near the Everglades buffer where intrusion is most common. Florida law requires humane removal before cleaning proceeds, so we coordinate that step first. Call (844) 803-1545.
Repair is cheaper short-term but rarely lasts in Kendall’s climate. A cracked or missing cap admits sixty-plus inches of annual rainfall and storm debris into your flue. We typically recommend professional-grade replacement with a stainless cap rated for hurricane wind exposure. The $289-$449 cost prevents the far more expensive moisture damage that follows a failed repair. We will show you the condition on camera and let you decide.
Disuse is the problem. Moisture, not fire, damages Kendall chimneys. Humidity prevents flues from drying, accelerating mortar failure and mold growth. Meanwhile, uncapped flues attract raccoons, opossums, and chimney swifts, particularly in west Kendall near the conservation buffer. An unused chimney in this climate often needs more attention than one in regular use up north.
Yes. We maintain a permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount on all services. No expiration, no paperwork beyond standard verification. The discount applies to the $89 Seasonal Tune-Up, standard sweeps, and any repair. Call (844) 803-1545 to schedule.
