Your Local Clearwater Chimney & Fireplace Team

One family-owned team for everything your chimney and fireplace need in Clearwater.

Chimney Brothers Co is a family-owned chimney and fireplace company serving homeowners throughout Clearwater and the wider Pinellas County area. We handle the full range of work a coastal chimney needs over its lifetime: chimney repair, sweeping and cleaning, inspections, leak and flashing repair, chimney caps, crown repair, full chimney rebuilds, tuckpointing and masonry work, and fireplace repair, service, and installation. Whether you have a wood-burning firebox in an older Clearwater home or a gas fireplace in a newer build, we treat the job with the same straightforward, no-pressure approach.

Clearwater sits right on the Gulf, and that location is hard on masonry and metal. Salt-laden air, near-constant humidity, and the heavy rain that rolls in during hurricane season all work on a chimney from the outside in. We see crowns that have cracked from years of sun and moisture, caps that have rusted through, flashing that has lifted after a storm, and mortar joints that have softened where salt and water have crept in. Catching those problems early is almost always cheaper than waiting until a leak shows up on your ceiling.

When you call us, you get a clear explanation of what is actually going on with your chimney and an upfront price before any work begins. No upsells you did not ask for and no scare tactics, just an experienced local Florida team that does the work right. We are happy to come out for a free estimate and walk you through your options at your own pace.

Chimney & Fireplace Service Across Clearwater

Clearwater covers a lot of different living situations, and each one comes with its own chimney concerns. Out on Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, and Island Estates, homes take the full force of salt spray off the Gulf, and we routinely find caps, dampers, and flashing that have corroded far faster than they would just a few miles inland. The waterfront and canal properties around the Mandalay area and along the Intracoastal get that same salt exposure, so we pay close attention to the metal components and to the mortar that holds everything together.

Move east of the water into neighborhoods like Countryside, Coachman, and Morningside, or the established blocks near downtown Clearwater around Cleveland Street, and the picture shifts. Many of these homes were built decades ago with masonry chimneys that have weathered countless summer storm seasons. Here the common issues are cracked crowns, deteriorating mortar joints that call for tuckpointing, and brickwork that has slowly taken on water over the years. The fixes range from a straightforward crown repair to a partial or full rebuild, and we will tell you honestly which one your chimney actually needs.

Across all of Clearwater, the real enemy is water combined with our subtropical humidity. A chimney rarely fails here because of cold weather; it fails because moisture finds a way in through a hairline crack, a worn cap, or failed flashing, and then our long wet season and daily afternoon storms keep that moisture working away year-round. That is why we treat leak and flashing repair, chimney caps, and crown repair as core preventative work for this area, not just emergency fixes. Protecting the top and the seams of your chimney is the single best thing most Clearwater homeowners can do to avoid a much larger repair down the road.

If you notice water stains on the ceiling or wall near your fireplace, a musty or smoky smell after rain, white staining on the brick, crumbling mortar, rust on the cap or damper, or visible cracks in the crown, those are signs your Clearwater chimney is letting moisture in and needs attention before the next storm makes it worse.

Clearwater Chimney Questions, Answered

Does living near the water in Clearwater really affect my chimney?

Yes, quite a bit. Homes on Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, Island Estates, and the canal and Intracoastal properties get steady exposure to salt-laden air, which corrodes metal chimney caps, dampers, and flashing and breaks down mortar faster than at inland homes. If you live within sight or smell of the Gulf, we generally recommend having the metal components and the crown looked at more often. We offer free estimates, so it costs nothing to have us check whether salt exposure has started doing damage.

How often should a Clearwater homeowner have their chimney inspected or swept?

For most Clearwater homes, an annual chimney inspection is a sensible baseline, with a sweep and cleaning as needed depending on how much you actually burn. Even if you rarely use the fireplace, our humid, salty, storm-prone climate means the structure and the cap, crown, and flashing deserve a yearly look regardless of use. After a major storm or hurricane-season wind event, it is also worth a quick check for lifted flashing or a damaged cap. Just call (645) 224-9996 and we can advise based on your specific home and how you use the fireplace.

It rarely gets cold in Clearwater, so why does my chimney leak?

Almost every chimney problem we see in Clearwater is driven by water and humidity rather than cold. A cracked crown, a worn or rusted cap, deteriorated mortar joints, or failed flashing lets rain in, and our long wet season and high humidity keep that moisture working on the masonry year-round. The leak you notice on a ceiling or wall is usually the late stage of a problem that started at the top of the chimney. We handle leak and flashing repair, caps, and crown repair to stop the water at its source, and we will show you exactly where it is getting in.

Do you work on gas fireplaces, or only wood-burning ones?

We service both. Plenty of newer Clearwater homes have gas fireplaces, and we offer fireplace repair, service, and installation alongside our chimney work. Older homes around downtown Clearwater and the established inland neighborhoods often still have traditional wood-burning fireboxes, and we handle those as well. When you call, just let us know what kind of fireplace you have and we will send someone equipped for it.

My chimney brick looks worn and the mortar is crumbling. Do I need a full rebuild?

Not always. Crumbling mortar is common on older Clearwater masonry chimneys, and in many cases tuckpointing, where we cut out and replace the failed mortar joints, is enough to restore the structure. Other times a damaged crown can be repaired on its own. A full or partial rebuild is only necessary when the brickwork itself has deteriorated too far to save. We will give you an honest assessment in person and an upfront price, so you only pay for the work your chimney genuinely needs. Same-day service is available, and the estimate is always free at (645) 224-9996.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — every job starts with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate and upfront pricing. No trip charge and no hidden fees.

How long does a typical chimney repair take?

It depends on the work. A sweep or inspection is usually done in one visit; a crown reseal, cap, or flashing repair is often same-day; a partial or full rebuild can take longer. We give you a clear timeframe with your estimate.

Do you work on prefab (factory-built) fireplaces too, or only masonry?

Both. We service traditional masonry chimneys and fireboxes as well as prefabricated, factory-built fireplace systems — including wood-burning and gas units.

My chimney failed a home inspection — can you help before closing?

Yes, that's one of the most common reasons people call us. We assess exactly what was flagged, explain what's actually needed, and give upfront pricing so you can move forward with your sale.

Do you clean up after the work?

Always. We protect the work area, contain soot and debris, and leave your home as clean as we found it — that's part of the job, not an extra.

How do I book or get a quote?

Call (645) 224-9996 or fill out the short form on this page. Same-day service is often available for urgent issues like an active leak.

How tall does a chimney have to be above the roof?

Chimneys shall extend not less than 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet, but shall be not less than 3 feet above the highest point where the chimney passes through the roof. That is the exact wording of IRC section R1003.9, adopted verbatim as R1003.9 of the Florida Building Code, Residential. It is commonly called the 3-2-10 rule, and both conditions must be met at once, so whichever produces the greater height controls. The 10-foot measurement is horizontal and includes ridges, dormers, adjacent walls and nearby structures. Source: International Residential Code section R1003.9, adopted as Florida Building Code, Residential R1003.9

Does Florida require a carbon monoxide alarm if the house has a fireplace?

Yes for new construction. Florida Statute 553.885 requires that every separate building or addition constructed on or after July 1, 2008 that has a fossil-fuel-burning heater or appliance, a fireplace, an attached garage or any other feature that emits carbon monoxide as a byproduct of combustion must have an approved operational carbon monoxide alarm installed within 10 feet of each room used for sleeping purposes, or at other locations required by the Florida Building Code. The requirement can be met with a hard-wired or battery-powered CO alarm or a combination CO and smoke alarm. The statute applies to new buildings and additions, not to existing buildings undergoing ordinary alterations or repairs. Source: Florida Statutes section 553.885, Carbon monoxide alarm required

How much does chimney repair cost in Clearwater?

The most common repairs range from around $150 for a cap replacement to $5,000 or more for flue relining, with most single repairs falling in the $300–$1,500 range in Florida. What a specific Clearwater job costs comes down to chimney height, roof access and pitch, and the condition of the crown and flashing, so we give a free on-site estimate with upfront pricing before any work begins.
