Chimney & Fireplace Work We Handle

From caps and crowns to leaks and masonry — swipe to see more.

Chimney Brothers Co is a family-owned team that takes care of chimneys and fireplaces throughout Dunedin and the surrounding part of northern Pinellas County. This is one of the more distinctive towns on the Gulf coast — a compact, walkable community with deep Scottish roots, a tightly knit downtown, and a housing mix that runs from older Florida bungalows and mid-century block homes to newer builds and the waterfront properties that look out over the Sound toward Honeymoon Island. Each of those home styles ages differently here, and each needs its own approach when a chimney starts showing wear.

Sitting right on St. Joseph Sound puts Dunedin chimneys in salt air and heavy humidity every single day of the year. That kind of exposure is patient and quiet. It softens mortar joints, rusts out caps and dampers, and works under flashing until one of the hard summer storms that roll up the coast during hurricane season finally drives water inside. By the time most homeowners notice a stain on the ceiling or a musty smell near the firebox, the real trouble has usually been building at the top of the chimney for a while.

We handle the full range of common chimney and fireplace work: chimney repair, sweeping and cleaning, inspections, leak and flashing repair, new and replacement caps, crown repair, partial and full rebuilds, tuckpointing and masonry, plus fireplace repair, service, and installation. You get a clear explanation of what is actually going on and an upfront price before any work starts — no pressure and no invented problems. We are an experienced local Florida crew, and we are glad to come out for a free estimate and walk you through your options. Reach us at (645) 224-9996.

Chimney & Fireplace Service Across Dunedin

Dunedin packs a lot of different living situations into a small footprint, and each corner of town brings its own chimney concerns. The older homes around the downtown core and Main Street — the bungalows and block houses within walking distance of the Pinellas Trail and the marina, including the Scottish-named pockets like Loch Lomond and Brae-Moor — tend to have masonry chimneys that have quietly absorbed decades of Gulf-coast humidity. That shows up as soft mortar, spalling brick, and crowns that have cracked and started letting water through. In the newer subdivisions east toward US 19 and up toward Palm Harbor, we more often find prefabricated fireplaces and metal chase covers that simply were not built to shrug off years of salt-laden air.

The closer a home sits to the water, the harder that salt works. Along Edgewater Drive (Alternate US 19), the Dunedin Causeway, and the canal and waterfront streets feeding into St. Joseph Sound — the ones with a clear line out to Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island — chimneys take the full brunt of salt spray and onshore wind. On those homes we pay especially close attention to the metal components — caps, dampers, flashing, and chase covers — which corrode noticeably faster by the water than they do even a mile or two inland, and to the mortar joints that loosen as salt and moisture creep into them season after season.

Dunedin's character also shapes how we work. This is a town that has deliberately kept the chain stores out and protected its older homes and walkable, festival-friendly downtown, so a lot of the chimneys we see are worth preserving rather than tearing down. When we tuckpoint a historic masonry chimney near the waterfront or rebuild a crown on an older block home off Edgewater Drive, we aim to keep the work clean and in keeping with the house. And because hurricane season is a yearly fact of life on the Sound, we get a steady stream of calls right after a storm passes through, from homeowners who want their flashing, caps, and crowns checked before the next round of rain finds the same weak spot.
