Find Your County. Then Find Your City.
Our service area is organized by county. Each county page covers the credentials, permitting, and conditions specific to that area, and each city page goes deeper into the neighborhoods and home types we work on there. Start with your county below, or jump straight to your city.
Every job is performed by our own certified technicians. We do not subcontract chimney, fireplace, gas, or dryer vent work to third-party crews, so the standard you get in Palatka is the same standard you get in Ocala.

43 Years of Working on Florida Homes, Specifically.
Chimney and gas work in Florida is not the same as it is up north, and it is not the same across our counties either. Four decades of working here has taught us what actually goes wrong, and where.
Humidity and infrequent use
Florida fireplaces sit unused for most of the year in a humid climate. That combination drives moisture intrusion, rust on dampers and caps, and animal nesting far more often than heavy-use wear. It is why an annual inspection matters here even if you only burn a few times a season.
Coastal conditions on the Gulf side
Homes in Citrus and Hernando Counties, closer to the Gulf, see faster corrosion on caps, chase covers, and metal terminations than inland Marion or Alachua homes. We account for that when we specify materials.
Local permitting and code
Gas and structural work requires permits, and requirements vary between jurisdictions across our seven counties. Working under Florida Gas Contractor License #LI45277 and Residential Contractor License #CRC1332000, we handle permitted work to code in each of them.
Housing stock varies by market
A masonry chimney on an older Gainesville home, a prefabricated unit in a newer Villages build, and a Marion County ranch all present different problems. We work on all of them every week.
