Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Bardmoor, FL
Chimney repair in Bardmoor usually starts with moisture, not fire. Most homes here date from the 1960s through the 1980s, when masonry fireplaces were built alongside gas inserts, and the subtropical Gulf Coast air works on those flues year-round while the fireplace sits idle for months. That combination of an older chimney and a damp, mostly unused flue means cracked crowns, rusted dampers and water finding its way into the masonry. We handle the repair side of that, along with sweeping and relining, and we document what we find so you can see the evidence yourself. For a free estimate, call (844) 989-2870.
Why Bardmoor Homes Are Different
Bardmoor is a golf-course community built through the 1960s and 70s around the Bardmoor Country Club, and the housing stock tells you almost everything about the chimney work here. Single-story ranches and Florida-style homes dominate the streets, many with the original masonry fireplace still in place or a gas insert fitted later into the old opening. Factory-built chimneys are the exception rather than the rule, which means we’re usually working with brick, mortar and clay tile liners rather than pre-fabricated metal sections.
The climate does the rest. Fireplaces go unused for most of the year in this part of Pinellas County, but the humidity and summer downpours don’t take a season off. Moisture works into an unused flue through the top, rusts dampers shut around their hinges, and lets drafts pull humid air down the chimney into the living space. We’ve learned that annual inspection matters more than frequent sweeping on these homes. A flue that burns two cords a season doesn’t need the same attention as one that burns four, and most Bardmoor flues fall in the lighter category. What they do need is someone checking the cap, the crown and the damper before the brief cool weather arrives, because that’s where the trouble starts.

Our Main Bardmoor Services
Two jobs come up again and again on Bardmoor homes: the annual chimney sweep and dryer vent cleaning. Both get a proper inspection, not just a brush.
Chimney Sweep in Bardmoor
Sweeping in Bardmoor is less about heavy creosote and more about what’s living in or blocking the flue. Technicians around here routinely find bird nests, wasp nests and, on more than a few occasions, frogs sitting in the chimney cap during the summer. Many dampers are rusted shut from the humidity, so a first visit is as much about freeing the damper and getting a proper cap fitted as it is about running a brush. We sweep, we inspect the full run of the flue, and we tell you plainly whether anything needs doing beyond the cleaning. When it’s time for a professional chimney sweep, you’ll find the details on our dedicated page: chimney sweep in Bardmoor.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bardmoor
A dryer vent is one of those jobs nobody thinks about until it’s a problem, and that’s exactly why it matters. Lint builds up in the duct run over time, and a clogged vent makes the dryer work harder while creating a fire risk. In Bardmoor’s humid air, lint can also absorb moisture and cling to the duct walls, which makes buildup faster than many homeowners expect. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the outside termination, check the flapper and the screen, and confirm airflow is where it should be. Most homes here benefit from a cleaning every year or two, depending on the size of the household. Full details are on our dryer vent cleaning page.
Chimney Repair in Bardmoor
Chimney repair in Bardmoor almost always traces back to water. The 1960s and 70s masonry fireplaces built into so many of these homes have had decades of humidity and summer downpours working on their crowns, flashing and mortar joints, while the fireplace itself sat unused through most of the year. That’s the pattern we see: not a chimney destroyed by fire, but one quietly loosened by moisture. We diagnose the actual cause with a camera inspection and photos you can look at yourself, then repair the masonry and the flue so the problem doesn’t come back next rainy season. Whether it’s a crown rebuild, new flashing or a full Chimney Repair, we do that work ourselves rather than handing it off.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You’ve got no cap at all, or a rusted one that’s let birds, wasps or water into the flue.
What it costs in Bardmoor
Cap installation typically runs $275 to $650 depending on the flue size and the cap style you choose.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, fit a properly sized stainless or copper cap with the correct mesh, and secure it to code so it keeps rain and animals out without choking the draft.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted, dented or sitting loose, and you’ve seen water marks or debris dropping into the firebox.
What it costs in Bardmoor
Replacement usually lands between $275 and $650, with the upper end covering larger openings and copper caps.
How we do it
We pull the old cap, check the flue top and crown for damage while we’re up there, then fit the new cap and seal it down properly.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Bardmoor
| Item | Typical range in Bardmoor |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation or replacement | $275 – $650 |
| Flashing repair | $350 – $900 |
| Crown repair or rebuild | $450 – $1,400 |
Do I really need a new liner?
Not always. If the camera shows the existing clay liner is sound and correctly sized for the appliance, we’ll say so and recommend against replacement. When the liner is cracked, spalling or the wrong size, a new liner is the fix. Call (844) 989-2870 for a free estimate.
How soon can you get to a Bardmoor chimney?
We schedule repairs promptly, typically within a few days of the inspection. Call (844) 989-2870. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday, and the estimate is free.

Pricing for Chimney Company in Bardmoor, FL
| Service | Typical range in Bardmoor |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $275 – $650 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $275 – $650 |
| Flashing repair | $350 – $900 |
| Crown repair or rebuild | $450 – $1,400 |
Price goes up in Bardmoor when a job turns out to involve more than one thing: a crown rebuild that also needs flashing work, or masonry repair above the roofline that means scaffolding and extra labor hours. Damp, spalled brick from decades of humidity often needs repointing before a cap will sit correctly. We give you a written upfront price after the inspection and the estimate is free, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
