Straightforward chimney & fireplace care in Goulds — honest findings, careful work, and a schedule we keep.
Goulds still feels like the railroad-and-farming town it started as, with Cauley Square's old cottages anchoring the historic end and new construction pushing west. That mix means two different chimney workloads: older masonry that needs gentle repointing, and newer prefab units whose chase covers and storm collars fail young in this climate. We handle both, we explain the difference plainly, and our no-cost written estimate spells out your chimney's actual needs and nothing more.
Summer storms in Goulds don't fall straight down — they arrive sideways, in bands, with wind behind them. Vertical rain rolls off a chimney; wind-driven rain gets pushed into hairline cracks, under drip edges, and past tired flashing. That's why a chimney that 'never leaked before' suddenly does after one loud July afternoon.
Goulds pairs older homes along the US-1 corridor with newer townhome subdivisions filling in its western edges. Old hardwoods around Cauley Square and the agricultural fringe give Goulds more mature tree cover than its newer neighbors.
