Chimney work built for SoHo homes
SoHo — the South Howard Avenue area — mixes early-1900s bungalows with a steady wave of new infill construction, often side by side on the same block. The chimney work splits cleanly along those two lines.
Original bungalows tend to have real masonry wood-burning fireplaces that have aged a century; the new builds almost always have sealed gas units.
In SoHo we are either restoring genuinely old masonry — crowns, mortar joints and clay liners that predate most of Tampa — or commissioning and servicing the gas fireplaces in recently built homes. Knowing which you have changes everything about the visit.
Common SoHo chimney concerns
Century-old bungalow masonry
The oldest SoHo chimneys have weathered 100 years of Florida rain. Crowns crack, mortar erodes and clay liners deteriorate — all of it hidden until a camera inspection finds it.
Brand-new gas fireplaces never checked
Builders move on after closing, and the gas unit's first real service often never happens. We handle that first-year combustion and carbon-monoxide check.
Mixed-use, tight lots
Close-set homes and shared walls mean draft and venting quirks. We test rather than guess when a fireplace smokes or smells.
