Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Key Biscayne Homes Are Different
Key Biscayne sits on a barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, and that geography shapes how chimneys behave here. The salt air works on masonry and metal components year-round. We see rust on dampers and chase covers faster here than we do inland. Masonry fireplaces hold more moisture after the summer wet season, which means drying time matters before any crown or flashing repair goes in. A rushed patch will fail.
The housing stock runs from original mid-century ranch homes in the Key Biscayne village center to larger homes along Mashta Drive, Harbor Drive, and the gated communities on the island’s south end. Many older chimneys here were built with clay tile liners, and after 40 or 50 years of salt exposure those tiles crack and spall. We document everything with camera footage so you see what we see. No recommendations without evidence, and no work you can’t verify after the fact.
Our Main Key Biscayne Services
Most Key Biscayne homeowners call us for one of three reasons: annual maintenance, a real estate transaction, or a suspected problem. Each service has its own page with full details and local pricing.
Chimney Sweep in Key Biscayne
A standard Chimney Sweep in Key Biscayne removes soot, creosote, and any debris blocking the flue. Long gaps between sweeps are common in seasonal or second homes, and that buildup is what fuels chimney fires. We brush the full flue length, remove what falls into the firebox, and leave the hearth clean. A written price is set before the brush touches the flue.
Chimney Inspection in Key Biscayne
A Chimney Inspection in Key Biscayne is what sellers need before listing and buyers need before closing. We run a video camera through the flue and inspect the crown, flashing, firebox, and damper. You get a photo report with the findings, not a verbal summary. If something needs attention, you see exactly what we saw and decide with a written price in hand. No scare tactics.
Chimney Repair in Key Biscayne
Chimney Repair in Key Biscayne covers masonry, crowns, flashing, dampers, and liners. Salt corrosion and wet-season moisture mean crowns crack and flashing lifts. We repair with materials specified by the job: DuraFlex for liner replacement, HeatShield for resurfacing, and proper flashing metal for coastal exposure. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written and valid for one full year.
