Your Local Sunrise Chimney & Fireplace Team

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

Chimney Brothers Co is a family-owned chimney and fireplace company serving Sunrise and the surrounding inland-Broward communities. Sunrise sits in central-western Broward, well off the coast and pushed right up against the edge of the Everglades, so the chimneys here face a different set of problems than the salt-air homes closer to the beach. Out here the real enemies are heavy summer humidity, the daily afternoon thunderstorms that roll in off the wetlands, and the wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in a cap, crown, or flashing seam. We build our work around how the weather in this part of the county actually treats a chimney.

Sunrise is a city of mixed housing stock, and that shapes what we run into here. A lot of the newer homes and townhomes built out toward the Sawgrass neighborhood and along the Sawgrass Expressway corridor have prefabricated, factory-built fireplaces with metal chase tops and lightweight surrounds, while the older neighborhoods carry traditional masonry chimneys that have weathered decades of South Florida summers. Both need attention, just in different ways. Our services cover the full range either type of home needs: chimney repair, sweep and cleaning, inspection, leak and flashing repair, chimney caps, crown repair, full rebuilds, tuckpointing and masonry, and fireplace repair, service, and installation.

Because we're a local Florida team, we understand the rhythm of owning a home in Sunrise, where the smart time to handle chimney and waterproofing work is during the drier winter stretch, before the next round of summer storms arrives. We explain what we find in plain language, quote it upfront with free estimates, and never push work a home doesn't need. When a leak or a storm-damaged cap can't wait, same-day service is available.

Chimney & Fireplace Service Across Sunrise, FL

We work all over Sunrise, from the established neighborhoods around Sunset Strip and Welleby to the western developments out by Sawgrass Mills and Amerant Bank Arena, and the homes that back up toward Markham Park and the C-11 canal. Because the city grew through different eras of annexation, the housing on a single street can vary widely, so we'll service a 1970s masonry chimney in an older Welleby home one day and a modern prefab unit in a Sawgrass-area townhome the next. Knowing the local housing mix means we show up prepared for whatever your home actually has.

The biggest factor for any chimney in Sunrise is water, and the city's inland position makes that worse, not better. Pressed against the western edge of Broward near the Everglades, Sunrise takes the brunt of the humidity and near-daily thunderstorms through the long wet season that runs roughly June into October. That standing moisture works its way into porous brick and mortar, rusts out the metal chase tops on prefab fireplaces, and lifts flashing until water starts tracking down into the ceiling. We focus heavily on the parts that keep water out, caps, crowns, flashing, and waterproofing, because in this climate that's where most chimney problems in Sunrise begin.

Sunrise homeowners don't burn fires the way folks in colder states do, so chimneys here tend to be used lightly and then ignored for years, which is exactly how small problems turn into expensive ones. A hairline crown crack or a corroded cap is easy to miss until the next storm pushes water past it. We help local families stay ahead of that with straightforward inspections and honest recommendations, whether you've got a cozy wood-burning fireplace in an older Welleby home or a builder-grade prefab in one of the newer communities out west toward Sawgrass.

If you've noticed water stains on the ceiling or wall around your fireplace, a damp or musty smell after a Sunrise thunderstorm, white chalky staining on the brick, rust on the cap or chase top, crumbling mortar, or pieces of the crown breaking loose, those are early warning signs worth addressing before the wet season makes them worse. Call Chimney Brothers Co at (645) 224-9996 for a free estimate and an honest, plain-language assessment of what your chimney actually needs.

Chimney & Fireplace FAQs for Sunrise Homeowners

Do chimneys in Sunrise really need service if we barely use the fireplace?

Yes, and that's actually one of the most common misunderstandings we hear in Sunrise. The wear on a South Florida chimney comes far more from weather than from burning fires. Sitting inland near the Everglades, your chimney is exposed to constant humidity and heavy summer rain year-round, whether or not you ever light it. That moisture is what cracks crowns, rusts caps and prefab chase tops, and degrades flashing. A lightly used or unused chimney can still develop serious water-intrusion problems, so a periodic inspection is well worth it. We offer free estimates so you can find out where yours stands with no pressure.

My home near Sawgrass has a prefab metal fireplace, not a brick one. Do you work on those?

Absolutely. A large share of the newer homes and townhomes around the Sawgrass neighborhood and the western part of Sunrise have factory-built, prefabricated fireplaces with a metal firebox, a flue inside a framed chase, and a metal chase top instead of a masonry crown. Those chase tops and caps are a frequent failure point here because the metal corrodes in our humidity and lets storm water down into the chase. We handle prefab fireplace repair and service, cap and chase-top replacement, leak and flashing repair, and inspection on these units, the same as we do for traditional masonry chimneys in the older Sunrise neighborhoods.

We get water around the fireplace after summer storms. What's causing it?

In Sunrise, water around the fireplace is almost always coming in from the top or the sides rather than rising from below. The usual culprits are a cracked or missing chimney crown, a damaged or undersized cap, rusted-out flashing where the chimney meets the roof, or porous brick and mortar soaking up wind-driven rain. Our near-daily wet-season thunderstorms drive water sideways into any weak point. We'll inspect the cap, crown, flashing, and masonry, pinpoint where the water is actually entering, and quote the fix upfront. If it's an active leak during storm season, same-day service is available so it doesn't keep soaking into your ceiling.

When is the best time of year to schedule chimney work in Sunrise?

The ideal window is the drier, cooler stretch from late fall through early spring, before the summer rains return in June. Tackling crown repair, cap replacement, flashing, tuckpointing, and waterproofing during the dry season means the work goes in clean and is fully protected before the heavy thunderstorms start. That said, we don't make anyone wait when there's an active problem. If a storm has already damaged your cap or you've got water coming in, call us at (645) 224-9996 and we'll get out to you, with same-day service available for urgent leaks.

What's that white chalky residue on the outside of our chimney brick?

That white, powdery staining is efflorescence, and it's very common on masonry chimneys in inland Broward. It happens when water moves through the brick and mortar and leaves mineral salts behind on the surface as it dries, which means moisture is getting into the masonry. In Sunrise's humid climate it's an early signal that your brick is absorbing water and that the crown, cap, or mortar joints may need attention before deterioration sets in. We can inspect the chimney, address the source of the moisture with crown repair, tuckpointing, or caps as needed, and give you an honest, upfront estimate first.

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

What is a 4-point insurance inspection and does it look at the fireplace?

A 4-point inspection covers four systems: roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, and Citizens Property Insurance requires one for all property owner, dwelling and mobile home applications on properties more than 20 years old. It must be completed, signed and dated by a verifiable Florida-licensed inspector such as a general, residential or building contractor, a building code inspector or a home inspector. The HVAC section of the Citizens form asks directly whether a wood-burning stove or central gas fireplace was not professionally installed, and the roof section asks about visible leaks and damage. So a hearth appliance and any roof-level leak around a chimney can affect whether a policy is written.

How much does chimney repair cost in Sunrise?

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 Sunrise 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. See the full cost breakdown.

Chimney Conditions in Sunrise, Broward County

Sunrise began as Sunrise Golf Village, founded in 1961 on roughly 2,650 acres, and most of the city filled in through the 1970s and 1980s as Broward County pushed west. The older east side around Sunrise Golf Village is largely single-story concrete block and stucco with low-slope and gable roofs, some finished in barrel tile. The Sunrise Lakes condominium phases went up between the early 1970s and the late 1990s. Welleby, Springtree, New River Estates and the Sawgrass Estates area added 1980s ranch homes and later tile-roofed townhomes. Chimney chases here are typically stucco over block or framing, so flashing, counterflashing and the stucco-to-metal joints are where water finds a way in.

Sunrise sits roughly a dozen miles inland from the Atlantic, so it does not take the direct oceanfront salt spray that barrier-island cities do. It is still entirely inside the Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers all of Broward and Miami-Dade and uses a 170 mph design wind speed for ordinary buildings. Rainfall runs above 60 inches a year, with roughly 70 percent of it falling between May and October. That volume, driven sideways by storm wind, is what rusts galvanized caps, opens crown and stucco cracks, and loosens chimney flashing.
