Your Local Groveland Chimney & Fireplace Team

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

Groveland has changed more in the last decade than most of Lake County put together. Subdivisions that didn't exist ten years ago now line the roads off Highway 50, and those new homes often come with gas or wood-burning fireplaces that families are just starting to figure out.

That growth is exciting, but it brings a particular set of questions we hear all the time: 'We moved in two years ago β€” should we have the chimney looked at?' The honest answer is yes. Even a builder-grade fireplace in a brand-new home can develop flashing problems, mortar gaps, or cap defects during the first few wet seasons. Lake County's summer rain is no joke, and a chimney that seems fine in December can be quietly taking on water by August.

Chimney Brothers Co is the local team Groveland families call when they want straight answers. We inspect, clean, repair, and rebuild β€” and we tell you exactly what we find, in plain language, before we do anything.

What Groveland homes actually deal with

Most of the housing stock here is relatively new, which means chimneys built from lightweight prefabricated systems rather than full brick. Those systems are engineered to perform, but they need the same attention as any masonry stack β€” maybe more so, because their metal components react to Florida humidity in ways that aren't always obvious from the outside. A rusted chase cover or a deteriorating chase panel can let enough moisture in to damage the firebox before a homeowner ever notices a stain.

Groveland sits inland, away from the coast, so salt air isn't a major factor here the way it is farther south or east. But the area does get real humidity and the occasional severe storm system that rolls in off the Gulf. Chimney caps take a beating during those events, and it's worth a look after any season with significant wind.

The town's rapid development also means many homes were built in phases, and not every fireplace installation was inspected with the same care. We see occasional issues with flashing that was never properly sealed during construction β€” not unusual, and entirely fixable, but something worth catching before the next rainy season rather than after.

We work in Groveland and the surrounding Lake County area. If you just moved into a new development and have never had the chimney checked, that's the right place to start β€” a straightforward inspection tells you exactly where things stand.

Every job we do here gets the same treatment: we show up on time, we look at everything carefully, and we give you an honest picture of what your chimney needs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Common questions from Groveland homeowners

Our home is only a few years old. Do we really need a chimney inspection?

Yes, and this is probably the question we hear most often from Groveland's newer neighborhoods. Age alone doesn't determine condition. Builder installations vary, and the first few Florida rainy seasons are often when small gaps or improperly sealed flashing start to show their effects. An inspection is the only way to know for sure.

We use our fireplace maybe five or six times a year. How often should it be swept?

Light use is common in Florida, and it does reduce creosote buildup compared to a home up north that burns wood every night in January. That said, we still recommend an annual inspection β€” and a cleaning whenever there's measurable buildup β€” because even infrequent burning leaves residue, and debris like leaves or animal nesting can accumulate in the flue regardless of how often you light a fire.

What's a chimney chase, and why does it matter?

A chase is the exterior housing that surrounds a prefabricated metal flue β€” very common in the newer construction you'll find throughout Groveland. The chase itself is usually made of wood framing with a siding material on the outside. If the chase cover (the metal cap at the top) rusts through or fails, water gets into that wood framing and can cause real structural damage over time. It's one of the first things we check on homes with this style of chimney.

Can you service gas fireplaces, or only wood-burning ones?

Both. Gas fireplace service β€” including burner checks, pilot and igniter work, venting inspection, and general tune-ups β€” is a regular part of what we do. If you have a gas fireplace that's been sitting unused or is acting up, we can take a look.

Do you handle chimney leaks?

Leak and flashing repair is one of our most common calls. Water intrusion usually shows up around the roofline where the chimney meets the shingles β€” that's the flashing β€” or through a failed crown or cap. We find the source, fix it properly, and make sure the repair holds through whatever weather comes next.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes β€” 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 β€” including wood-burning and gas units.

My chimney failed a home inspection β€” 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 β€” 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 salt air near the coast change what materials should be used on a chimney?

Yes, and the Florida Building Code recognizes it by grade. Florida Building Code, Residential sections R905.7.6.1.1 and R905.8.7.1.1 call for Type 304 stainless steel ring-shank nails for wood shingles and shakes, and specifically Type 316 for coastal areas. Type 316 stainless contains molybdenum and resists chloride attack better than Type 304, which is why it is the coastal specification. The same chloride exposure attacks every metal component on a chimney: the cap and spark arrestor screen, the counter flashing, the storm collar, the chase cover and a stainless liner. Galvanized steel components in particular have a short service life within sight of salt water. Source: Florida Building Code, Residential sections R905.7.6.1.1 and R905.8.7.1.1

How much does chimney repair cost in Groveland?

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 Groveland 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.
