Your Local Hollywood Chimney & Fireplace Team

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

Hollywood sits right on the Atlantic between Fort Lauderdale and Hallandale Beach, and that coastal setting in Broward County shapes everything about how a chimney holds up here. A lot of the housing is older single-story and mid-century blocks built well before the current code era, with masonry chimneys and prefab fireplaces that quietly take a beating from year-round humidity and salt-laden air. Chimney Brothers Co works on all of it, from a quick cleaning to a full rebuild, and we explain what we find in plain language before any work begins.

We're a family-owned company and we keep things straightforward: an honest look at the chimney, upfront pricing, and free estimates so you know the cost before you commit. Our services cover chimney repair, chimney sweep and cleaning, inspection, leak and flashing repair, chimney caps, crown repair, full rebuilds, tuckpointing and masonry, plus fireplace repair, service, and installation. If your fireplace mostly sits unused for half the year, as plenty of Hollywood fireplaces do, we'll tell you honestly what actually needs attention and what can wait.

Same-day service is available when something urgent comes up, like a leak showing up on the ceiling after a heavy rain or a cap that blew loose in a storm. We're a local crew that knows South Florida homes, and we stand behind our work because our reputation in Broward County depends on it.

Chimney & Fireplace Service Built for Hollywood's Coastal Climate

Hollywood is a real mix of housing, and the chimney issues we see track closely with where a home sits. Out east along Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk, and across the older blocks of Hollywood Lakes near the Intracoastal, the relentless salt air goes after metal first. Chimney caps, dampers, and flashing corrode far faster within a mile or two of the water than they do anywhere inland, and a rusted-through cap is one of the most common things we replace on this side of town. If you're near the beach or the Intracoastal, the metal components are usually the first thing we check.

Move inland toward Driftwood, Hollywood Hills, Boulevard Heights, and the homes around Emerald Hills off Stirling Road, and the bigger concern shifts to water and masonry. Hollywood's flat terrain and frequent heavy downpours mean wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into crowns, joints, and the spot where the chimney meets the roof. Over the years that soaks into the brick and mortar, and once the crown cracks or the mortar joints open up, moisture works its way down into the structure. Crown repair, tuckpointing, and leak and flashing repair make up a big share of what we do for inland Hollywood homes.

The other reality here is that fireplaces simply don't run much in a place where winter rarely calls for a fire. That's exactly why a yearly inspection matters more than people assume in a warm climate: a chimney that sits idle for most of the year still has its flue and masonry exposed to humidity, salt, pests, and storm damage the whole time. We'd rather catch a hairline crown crack or a loose cap during a calm-weather visit than have you discover it during the first cold front or the next hurricane-season storm rolling in off the Atlantic.

Don't wait on the warning signs. A water stain on the ceiling or wall near the fireplace, a damp or musty smell after rain, white chalky staining on the brick, crumbling mortar, rust on the cap or damper, or pieces of masonry showing up in the firebox all point to problems that get worse fast in Hollywood's humid, salt-heavy air. Catching them early is almost always cheaper than waiting until water has gotten into the structure.

Hollywood Chimney & Fireplace Questions, Answered

Do I really need chimney service in Hollywood if I almost never use my fireplace?

Yes, and it's one of the most common questions we get from Hollywood homeowners. The fire itself isn't the main concern in a climate like ours; the bigger issue is everything the chimney is exposed to year-round whether you light a fire or not. Humidity, salt air off the Atlantic, wind-driven rain, and pests all work on the cap, crown, flashing, and masonry constantly. A chimney that sits unused for months can still develop a cracked crown, a corroded cap, or a leak that quietly damages the surrounding structure. A periodic inspection and cleaning protects the home itself, not just the fireplace, and it's far cheaper than repairing water damage after the fact.

How does living near Hollywood Beach affect my chimney compared to inland neighborhoods?

Quite a bit. If you're close to the water, along Hollywood Beach or in the older Hollywood Lakes blocks near the Intracoastal, salt air is the dominant force, and it goes after metal first. Chimney caps, dampers, and flashing corrode noticeably faster within a mile or two of the coast, so those metal components tend to need replacement sooner. Inland, in neighborhoods like Driftwood, Hollywood Hills, or Emerald Hills, the bigger threat is water intrusion from heavy rain working into crowns and mortar joints over time. When you call us, it helps to know roughly where in Hollywood you are, because it tells us what to inspect most closely.

My ceiling near the fireplace gets water stains after a hard rain. What's causing it?

In Hollywood that's a very common call, and it's almost always one of a few things: a cracked or worn chimney crown, deteriorated mortar joints, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, or a missing or damaged cap. Our flat terrain and wind-driven storms push rain sideways into all of those weak points, and once water finds a way in it travels down through the structure and shows up as a stain inside. The fix depends on the source, which is why we start with an inspection. Depending on what we find, the solution might be leak and flashing repair, crown repair, a new cap, or tuckpointing to seal up open mortar joints. We'll show you what's actually going on and give you an upfront price before any work starts.

How often should a Hollywood homeowner have the chimney inspected or swept?

A yearly inspection is the sensible baseline here, even though our fireplaces don't get heavy use. The reason is the climate: the chimney is exposed to salt, humidity, and storm conditions all twelve months, so an annual check catches small problems like a hairline crown crack or a loosening cap before they turn into water damage. Cleaning frequency depends on how much you actually burn; a fireplace that's lit only on the occasional cool evening needs sweeping less often than one used regularly. We'll give you a straight answer about your specific setup rather than pushing service you don't need, and the estimate is free.

Can Chimney Brothers Co come out same-day if a storm damages my chimney?

Same-day service is available, and during Hollywood's hurricane and storm season we know things can't always wait. High winds knock caps loose, drive rain into the crown and flashing, and occasionally dislodge masonry, and any of those can let water into your home with the next rain. If you've got an active leak or visible damage after a storm, call us at (645) 224-9996 and we'll work to get out to you quickly, assess the damage, and explain your options with honest, upfront pricing. As a local Florida team we're nearby in Broward County, not dispatched from hours away.

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

Do the chimney reinforcing and anchor-strap rules in the residential code apply in Florida?

Not by default. The prescriptive chimney reinforcement and anchorage provisions in Florida Building Code, Residential sections R1003.3 and R1003.4 (the vertical bars, the ties, and the two 3/16-inch by 1-inch anchor straps at each floor, ceiling or roof line more than 6 feet above grade) are triggered by Seismic Design Categories D0, D1 and D2, which are high-seismicity classifications. Florida chimneys are instead governed by the wind provisions, and the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code, effective December 31, 2023, references ASCE 7-22 for wind loads. Practically, that means a Florida chimney's structural demand is lateral wind pressure on a tall masonry cantilever, not ground shaking.

How much does chimney repair cost in Hollywood?

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 Hollywood 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.

Chimney Conditions in Hollywood, Broward County

Hollywood was platted in 1925 by Joseph Young, and the Hollywood Lakes section east of U.S. 1 between Washington and Johnson Streets remains its oldest neighborhood: 50-foot lots, rear alleys and garages, pre-World War II houses. The city's own historic survey names Mediterranean Revival with gabled and hipped barrel-tile roofs over stucco, limestone and terra cotta; Mission and Spanish Colonial with flat parapet roofs drained by scuppers; Art Deco; Masonry Vernacular in clay tile, oolitic limestone or concrete block; and 1930s-1950s Traditional houses with low-pitched roofs, front gables and thick chimneys. Citywide median year built is near 1969, with postwar concrete-block tract housing west of I-95.

Hollywood fronts about five to six miles of Atlantic beach, including the 2.5-mile Broadwalk, so eastern neighborhoods take direct salt-air exposure while western ones sit only a few miles back. Annual rainfall at the nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International gauge normals to 60.95 inches. Broward County falls entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; Irma in 2017 pushed just over three feet of inundation along the coast from Hallandale Beach north. Salt and heavy summer rain attack crowns, galvanized caps and stucco chases first.
