Hurricane Ian came ashore here. A lot of chimneys were repaired quickly, and not all of them were repaired properly.
You get images of what we actually found on your roof and inside your flue, not just a price. If something is fine, we tell you it is fine.
Every technician working on your chimney is trained on both masonry and factory-built systems, and we carry full liability cover.
No charge to come out and quote, and the estimate breaks down parts and labour separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Charlotte County took a direct hit when Hurricane Ian made landfall on 28 September 2022, and roofs across Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Rotonda West were repaired under enormous time pressure in the following months. Roofing crews were stretched, materials were scarce, and chimneys were frequently the last thing anyone looked at.
What we find now, some years on, is the consequence of that. Caps that were reattached but never properly sealed. Chase covers replaced with whatever was available rather than what was correct. Flashing reinstalled at the roofline without the counter-flashing that actually keeps water out. None of these are dramatic failures — they are slow leaks that take a couple of rainy seasons to show up inside.
If your roof was redone after Ian and nobody has since inspected the chimney itself, that is worth doing. We serve Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Deep Creek, Harbour Heights, Rotonda West, Placida, Babcock Ranch and the surrounding communities.
High wind does predictable things to a chimney, and most of them are invisible from the driveway. Caps lift and reseat slightly out of position. Storm collars loosen. Mortar crowns develop hairline cracks that only matter once water gets into them and the cycle of soaking and drying widens them.
On the canal-front properties around Charlotte Harbor there is a second factor: wind-driven salt spray reaching chimneys that would otherwise be far enough inland to be safe. We check metal components on those homes more carefully than the mileage alone would suggest.
Our inspections are photographed. You get images of what we found, not just a verdict — which matters if you are dealing with an insurer or deciding between repair and replacement.
We cover 12 communities across Charlotte County, on the same routes and the same terms as the rest of our service area.
Every service below is available throughout the Port Charlotte service area.
We keep the process the same on every job so you always know what happens next.
