The Hammocks is the western edge of what locals call West Kendall, a planned community of around 20,000 homes between SW 137th Avenue and Krome. Where a house here has a fireplace, it is most often a factory-built unit with a metal flue in a framed chase, so the work is mostly caps, chase covers, storm collars and the flashing where the chase meets the roof. Those parts fail quietly and let water in long before anything shows inside. We come out Kendall Drive from Pinecrest, and every estimate is written before any work starts.
The daily summer pattern over The Hammocks (a violent hour of rain, a hot night, repeat) grinds on a chimney harder than any single headline storm. Nothing dramatic breaks; things simply wear, storm after storm, for six months straight. Chimneys here rarely fail suddenly. They fail cumulatively, which is precisely why scheduled attention costs so much less than emergency response.
The Hammocks is a planned community of subdivisions, townhomes and condos, around 20,000 homes between SW 137th Avenue and Krome Avenue. Street trees here went in with the subdivisions, so they are shorter and thinner than the old hammock canopy further east, and the wind reaches the roofs more directly.
The SW 137th Avenue side, between Kendall Drive and SW 120th Street is the landmark most people use to find their way around The Hammocks.

A Local, Family-Owned Team
Every June, plenty of homeowners realize they meant to schedule chimney care in April. Skip that particular tradition: call while the forecast is quiet, get the work wrapped before the season's first advisory, and spend the summer watching storms instead of worrying about them.
Water intrusion doesn't observe business hours, so neither does our emergency line, it answers 24/7, every day. Everything else about working with us is equally straightforward: a free written estimate up front, no hidden fees anywhere in the process, and the personal accountability of a family-owned company based in Pinecrest.

The Code Behind the Work in The Hammocks
Every Hammocks job we quote answers to the same written rules: Section R1003.9 fixes chimney height against the roof, R1003.9.1 says a code crown is a concrete, metal or stone cap with a drip edge and a caulked bond break, not a troweled mortar wash, and anything metal going onto a Miami-Dade County roof needs a product approval listed for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Permits in The Hammocks work the same way whoever you hire: Section 105.1 makes a permit the default for repair and alteration, and the narrow ordinary-repairs carve-out in 105.2.2 stops at anything structural. We wrote the numbers, the section references and the Miami-Dade product-approval lookup out in full so you can check them yourself before anyone quotes you.

How do I check a product approval number for the metal going on my roof?
