Your Local Team in Old Pompano · Broward CountyChimney & fireplace care for Old Pompano, from a Pompano Beach company that reads the same forecast you do.
Old Pompano is where the city started, and its streets still read that way: early cottages, pre-war bungalows, and mid-century homes shoulder to shoulder near the downtown blocks. Housing this age means chimneys this age — original masonry that has out-lasted several roofs and deserves hands that respect it. We're minutes away, and this neighborhood is core territory for us.
Even Old Pompano's driest stretch would count as damp most places. Mornings load the roof with dew, afternoons rarely drop the humidity far, and cold fronts arrive trailing rain. The upshot for chimneys: cracks and open joints never get an idle season, because there's water available to work them year-round. Moisture management isn't a summer chore here — it's the standing order.
Old Pompano holds some of the city's earliest housing stock — bungalows and cottages from the town's first decades alongside mid-century infill, many still on their original chimneys. Mature shade trees line the older streets here, older than most of the roofs beneath them.
The neighborhood wraps the historic downtown blocks around Atlantic Boulevard, a short run from the fishing pier.

We do it routinely. Coastal buildings around Old Pompano usually have factory-built fireplaces venting through framed chases, and the association typically wants paperwork approved before anyone touches the roof or common areas. Tell us the property manager's requirements when you book, and we'll have the documents submitted ahead of the visit.
The look itself costs nothing — we give free written estimates across Old Pompano, and the number we quote is the number you pay. Upfront pricing, no hidden fees, no surprise line items added on the day of the work. If you approve, the estimate becomes the job scope; if you don't, you've lost nothing but a conversation.
It raises the moisture load. Canal-front lots in Old Pompano sit in still, humid air that keeps masonry damp long after each rain, which accelerates efflorescence and keeps mortar joints from ever fully drying out. We see more staining on canal homes than on comparable inland streets, so waterfront owners should eyeball their stack more often.
Nine times out of ten it's the chase cover — the metal pan closing off a framed chase — corroding in the salt air and bleeding rust down the siding. With Old Pompano's coastal exposure, a galvanized cover can rust through long before anything else up top fails. Replacing it in stainless stops both the streaks and the leak that's on its way, and we quote it with a free written estimate.
