Davie is a different kind of chimney market. A lot of homes here sit on half-acre and acre lots with mature oaks and pines, and fireplaces go unused for months at a time. That combination creates repair work you don’t see in denser cities: animals setting up house in idle flues, moisture creeping into brick that never gets dried out by regular fires, and creosote hardening into a glaze that sweeping alone won’t remove. We know what to look for before we even climb the ladder because we’ve seen it on hundreds of Davie roofs.

Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale operates under The Garrison Standard, the code every Garrison Partners location follows since 2002. That means one thing for Davie homeowners: every repair gets a written price before any work begins. The number you approve is the number on the invoice. No adjustments at the door, no surprises after the fact.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who’s walking onto your property, which matters when you live on a quiet Davie street where unfamiliar trucks draw attention. The crews are led by Hank Delano, who runs every job with a plain-spoken, disciplined approach. If a repair fails within one full year, we come back at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not a verbal assurance. It’s written on every work order.
We’ve handled repairs in Shenandoah, Forest Ridge, and the rural stretches near the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds. We understand older masonry chimneys from the 1970s and 1980s that were built without modern liners, and we understand the wildlife pressure that comes with Davie’s tree canopy and equestrian zoning. Dispatch is coordinated from our Miami office, but the crews in Davie are local and know the roads.

Chimney Cap Installation in Davie
Chimney cap installation in Davie is one of the most straightforward repairs we do, and it’s the single best defense against the two biggest threats to chimneys here: rainwater and raccoons. A standard cap installation with a stainless steel unit typically runs $295 to $495. Custom sizing or specialty caps with heavy-gauge screens push that toward $550 to $650. The cap sits on top of the flue and keeps rain from soaking into the brick crown while blocking animals from crawling down into the smoke chamber.
Screened Caps for Wildlife Pressure
Davie’s equestrian-zoned neighborhoods need caps rated for heavy wildlife pressure. Squirrels and raccoons routinely tear off lightweight caps to nest in flues during the humid off-season. We install Famco stainless caps with reinforced screens specifically for this. The screen lets smoke out but keeps paws and teeth out.
When an Older Chimney Lacks a Proper Cap
Many Davie homes built in the 1970s and 1980s either never had a cap or had one that rusted away years ago. If the flue is open, rain has been getting in. That leads to spalling brick and damaged mortar joints below the roofline. A cap isn’t a decoration. On a masonry chimney, it’s protection for the most expensive repair you might ever face: a partial rebuild.
Chimney Cap Replacement in Davie
Chimney cap replacement in Davie usually runs $275 to $450, depending on flue size and whether the old cap left rust staining on the crown. We recommend replacement when the cap is dented, blown off during one of South Florida’s summer thunderstorms, or missing entirely. A missing cap is more than an inconvenience. It’s an open invitation for rain, birds, and rodents.
Rust and Storm Damage on Old Caps
Standard galvanized caps rust through after a few years of Davie humidity and afternoon downpours. Once the mesh tears, animals slip through. We replace old caps with stainless steel units from Famco or Copperfield that hold up to salt-tinged air from the coast. Stainless doesn’t rust, and the screen stays rigid even when a raccoon sits on it overnight.
Matching the Cap to the Flue Type
Not every chimney takes the same cap. A wood stove flue, a fireplace flue, and an unused flue all need different sizing and screen gauge. We measure on site and install the right unit the same visit. If you have two flues side by side, we’ll quote both and you decide. Written price before any work starts, always.
Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We stock and install professional-grade chimney products from Famco, Copperfield, and HeatShield. These are the brands we’d put on our own homes, so they’re the brands we specify on your job. Servicing Davie means keeping common parts on the truck: stainless caps in standard flue sizes, flashing kits, and HeatShield resurfacing material for damaged flue liners. That means faster completion on most repairs, because we’re not waiting on a distributor in Pompano or Hialeah to ship a part. The materials get written into your quote by name, so you can look them up before you sign.

AfterCommon Chimney Repair Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Third-degree creosote glaze in wood stove flues. Rural Davie homes that burn wood as primary heat through the brief winter cold snaps produce heavy creosote fast. When fires burn low and slow, the creosote hardens into a tar-like glaze that a standard sweep won’t remove. Left alone, it’s a chimney fire waiting to happen.
- Animal nests compressing the flue lining. Squirrels, birds, and raccoons find long-idle chimneys in Davie and move right in. A packed nest blocks airflow and can push carbon monoxide back into the house on the first cold night of the season. Call us the moment you hear scratching from the fireplace.
- Spalling brick on 1970s masonry chimneys. Davie’s humid summers plus a cracked or missing crown seal means water gets into the brick face. The bricks flake, pop, and eventually become structural problems. Repointing and waterproofing can stop it if caught before the damage reaches the flue.
- Damaged flashing where the chimney meets the roof. South Florida storms and decades of sun expansion break the seal between the flashing and the chimney chase. Water leaks into the attic and shows up as ceiling stains. We replace flashing and re-seal the penetration with materials rated for our climate.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Davie
Older ranch homes in Davie were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and many have masonry chimneys without modern insulated liners. Those chimneys run cooler, which lets creosote condense faster on the flue walls. Newer homes with prefab or insulated liners keep more heat in the flue and produce less buildup per fire. If you own a 1970s ranch home with a wood-burning fireplace, you’re probably on a 12-month sweeping interval at the longest, and many Davie homes need it sooner. Call (754) 354-1430 for an honest assessment of your flue.
Equestrian-zoned areas of Davie have open pasture, mature trees, and active wildlife corridors. That means heavy pressure from squirrels and raccoons looking for a dry nesting spot. Standard galvanized caps with light mesh fail under that kind of abuse. We recommend stainless steel caps with reinforced screens, specifically Famco units rated for heavy animal pressure. Call us and we’ll match the cap to your flue and your neighborhood’s wildlife load.
Every 60 to 90 days during the burning season. That’s the honest answer for a wood stove used daily in rural Davie. Creosote builds fast when you’re burning dense oak and running the stove low overnight. A chimney fire in a heavily glazed flue can hit temperatures that crack the liner and melt the mortar. Most people wait too long, and the first clue is a roar from the chimney. We’d rather sweep early and cheap than rebuild after a fire.
Moisture. Davie’s hot, humid summers push water into brick that never gets dried out by fire heat. Without a working crown seal or a proper cap, that water sits in the masonry and expands and contracts with temperature swings. The brick face flakes off, a process called spalling. It has nothing to do with how much you burn. It’s about water management on the outside of the chimney. We fix spalling with repointing and waterproofing before the structural damage spreads.
We go where the work is. Our crews cover all of Davie, including the rural properties west of 75th Avenue and south toward Griffin Road. The longer the drive, the more important it is that the job is priced right the first time, because nobody wants a second trip to fix a mistake. That’s what our 365-Day Done Right Promise is for. If a covered repair fails within a year, we come back at no charge. Call (754) 354-1430 for a free estimate anywhere in Davie.
