Chimney Repair & Fireplace Services in Tamarac, FL

Chimney & Fireplace Work We Handle

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

Tamarac homeowners rarely give the chimney a second thought — until a stain creeps across the ceiling after an afternoon downpour, a damper sticks shut, or an inspection flags cracked masonry right before a sale. Chimney Brothers Co is a family-owned team that handles all of it, from a straightforward sweep to a full rebuild, for homes throughout Tamarac and the surrounding Broward County communities.

This is a city built in distinct waves, and chimneys here reflect that. The original ranch-style and villa sections — the Mainlands lakes communities and the older neighborhoods off Commercial Boulevard and McNab Road — often have masonry fireplaces that have weathered decades of Florida humidity. The newer developments closer to the Sawgrass Expressway tend to run factory-built (prefab) fireplaces with metal chase tops and caps. We work on both, and the right fix depends on which one you have.

Every job starts the same way: we find the real cause, explain it in plain English, and give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No pressure, no scare tactics — just an experienced local Florida crew that leaves your chimney safe to use.

What Tamarac's Inland Climate Does to Your Chimney

Tamarac sits inland in central Broward, between Florida's Turnpike on the east and the Sawgrass Expressway on the west, well away from the coast — so the salt air that chews up oceanfront chimneys isn't the main threat here. The relentless humidity and the daily summer thunderstorms are. From June through September, heavy rain rolls in most afternoons, and that constant moisture works its way into mortar joints, rusts metal components, and slowly breaks down the concrete crown at the top of the stack. A small gap you'd never notice in the dry season becomes a steady leak once the rains start.

The city's housing tells two stories, and we see both. The Mainlands of Tamarac Lakes — the sprawling 1960s and '70s ranch-home community of nearly twenty villages — along with Woodmont near the golf course and the older streets off Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road, have masonry chimneys that have stood through years of wet seasons. These usually call for experienced repointing, crown resealing, and flashing work rather than a quick patch. Out toward the newer western developments near the Sawgrass Expressway, factory-built fireplaces are common, where the usual culprits are a corroded chase cover, a failing cap, or worn flashing where the chase meets the roof.

Tamarac's mix of low-slope tile and shingle roofs adds its own wrinkle. Wind-driven rain during a strong summer storm pushes water sideways into any opening around the chimney, and on a low-pitch roof that water has more time to find its way in. Many homes here also back up to the city's canals and chain of lakes, where the ground stays damp and humidity lingers — which is exactly why caps, crowns, and flashing matter more in Tamarac than most homeowners realize.
