Built for salt air and storm bands — chimney & fireplace care in Kendall Green with quotes in writing before work begins.
Kendall Green keeps a low profile — a calm mid-century pocket in north-central Pompano where the houses went up together in the fifties and sixties and aged together since. Same-vintage housing means same-vintage chimney questions, and we answer them constantly here: crowns, caps, flashing, and the occasional full reline. Local in the truest sense.
CBS construction is the local vernacular in Kendall Green, and concrete block has one defining habit: it drinks. The chimney, standing above the roofline in the full weather, drinks the most. What protects these structures isn't complicated — a crown that sheds, a cap that seals, and a breathable repellent that lets the block release moisture instead of hoarding it — but it has to actually be done.
Kendall Green is a quiet mid-century pocket — one-story block homes on rectangular lots, most from the neighborhood's 1950s-60s buildout. Established trees over small lots mean debris on roofs is a season-round fact here.
The neighborhood anchors the city's north-central section between Dixie Highway and the rail corridor.

Age alone isn't the problem; accumulated weather wear is. Older masonry stacks around Kendall Green tend to have crowns that were poured thin, mortar joints deep into their service life, and clay flue tiles that can shift or crack as the structure settles. An inspection sorts out which of those actually needs attention — plenty are sound, and plenty just need the crown wash rebuilt and the joints repointed.
Our own team, every visit. We're family-owned and operated out of Pompano Beach, and Kendall Green is a short run across the north Broward County grid from our home base. The person on your roof works for us, drives our truck, and answers to the same phone number you called.
For most of Kendall Green we can offer an appointment within a few days, and same-day service is available when the day's route allows. Active leaks go through our 24/7 emergency line and jump the queue. Being locally owned and based in north Broward County means nobody is driving up from Miami to get to you.
Three forces do the damage: salt-laden breeze, hard summer sun, and sideways rain. Salt corrodes caps and chase covers, heat cycling opens hairline cracks in crowns and mortar joints, and wind-driven rain then exploits every one of those openings. The failures we find in Kendall Green are almost always weather failures, not fire failures.
