We’ve been crossing the Conway Road bridge into 32812 for over 42 years. The concrete-block ranches along Lake Conway, Lake Barton, and Lake Holden were built in an era when fireplaces were selling points, not necessities. Most have gone decades without proper attention. That changes when we show up. Our trucks roll with DuraFlex liners, HeatShield refractory mortar, and Copperfield caps in stock, so your chimney gets fixed today, not next week.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. of Orlando Is Conway’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Conway homeowners know the difference between a company that passes through and one that knows the territory. We repaired a 1960s concrete-block ranch off Lake Conway where the crown had spalled so badly that rainwater was channeling directly into the flue. Using DuraFlex stainless steel liner and a new Copperfield cap, we sealed the opening and installed a new Gelco crown-eliminating the chronic leaks that had plagued the homeowners for years. That job took one day. The family had lived with buckets in the firebox for three winters.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Conway repair. In writing. No arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. We’ve answered the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, since 2014. No voicemail maze. No callback queue. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. No-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Conway’s location along the chain of lakes creates a moisture-rich microclimate that accelerates chimney crown spalling and efflorescence, a pattern far more pronounced here than in drier inland Orlando neighborhoods. We see it in the field. Lakefront properties off Curry Ford Road and south of Hoffner Avenue show crown damage five to seven years earlier than comparable homes in Azalea Park or Pine Castle. That’s not speculation. That’s what our cameras document on every Level-2 inspection.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Conway

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling, the flaking and crumbling of brick faces from freeze-thaw cycling and moisture intrusion, is epidemic in Conway. The 32812 ZIP sits in a humidity pocket where summer air sits heavy over the lakes, and winter cold snaps drop temperatures fast enough to stress saturated masonry. We remove spalled brick to sound substrate, match replacement brick for color and density, and repoint with HeatShield-compatible mortar rated for Florida’s wet-dry cycles. Most Conway spalling jobs run $850-$2,200 depending on exposure height and square footage.

Chimney Rebuilding

When spalling penetrates multiple wythes of brick or the structural integrity of the stack is compromised, partial or full rebuilding becomes necessary. Conway’s 1950s-1970s chimneys were often built with soft, underfired brick that absorbs water like a sponge. We rebuild from the roofline up or from the ground, using hard-fired brick and proper through-wall flashing tied into your roof system. A typical partial rebuild on a Conway ranch runs $3,200-$4,800. Full rebuilds on two-story lakefront homes with tall stacks can reach $7,500-$12,000. We document the scope with photos before we touch a trowel.

Tuckpointing & Mortar Repointing

Original mortar in Conway’s mid-century chimneys has turned to sand in many cases. We grind joints to proper depth, match the original mortar profile, and repoint with type-N or type-S mortar appropriate to the brick hardness. Tuckpointing on a standard Conway ranch chimney runs $650-$1,400. For decorative tuckpointing with color-matched fine joints, add 30-40%. We see the worst joint failure on north-facing exposures toward Lake Conway, where prevailing winds drive rain into the masonry.

Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing a Conway chimney without addressing the underlying moisture source is like painting over rot. We apply breathable, silane-siloxane sealers from professional-grade suppliers after all repairs are complete, never before. A properly waterproofed chimney in 32812 still needs a sound crown, functional cap, and intact flashing. Waterproofing alone runs $400-$750 for an average stack. We bundle it with crown repair for Conway lakefront properties where the microclimate demands multiple defense layers.

Flashing Repair

Step flashing, counterflashing, and cricket construction around chimney penetrations take a beating in Conway’s subtropical downpours. We fabricate custom flashing from copper or lead-coated copper, integrate it with your roofing system, and seal with high-temperature sealants. Flashing repair on a standard Conway ranch runs $450-$950. Complex penetrations on low-slope or modified-bitumen roofs common in some 32812 neighborhoods run higher.

Trusted Brands We Service in Conway

We stock and install professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield. No builder-grade substitutes. DuraFlex stainless steel liners handle the corrosive byproducts of infrequent, inefficient burns common in Conway’s rarely-used fireplaces. HeatShield’s cerfractory foam resurfacing system restores deteriorated clay flue liners without full replacement, a cost saver on many 32812 ranches. Gelco caps and Copperfield chimney solutions seal against driving rain and, critically, prevent chimney swift nesting during Conway’s long dormant season. Our Orlando warehouse keeps inventory moving, so Conway customers don’t wait on backorders.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Conway Homes

• Cracked clay tile liners from original 1950s-70s construction. These flues were built for occasional ambiance fires, not heavy use, and the mortar between tiles fails from thermal shock and moisture. Homeowners go years without knowing because the fireplace sits cold. A Level-2 camera inspection reveals what the naked eye cannot.
• Accelerated spalling and efflorescence on lakefront properties. The moisture-rich microclimate along the Conway chain of lakes pushes water through porous brick faster than inland Orlando neighborhoods. We see white efflorescence blooms and face spalling on chimneys as young as fifteen years old near Lake Conway.
• Chimney swifts nesting in uncapped flues during the 9-month dormant period. These federally protected migratory birds arrive in spring, build nests of twigs bonded with saliva, and depart by fall. A single nest can block a flue completely. When a January cold snap sends Conway homeowners to light a fire, the blockage creates smoke backup and carbon monoxide risk. A proper cap installed in late winter prevents the problem entirely.
• Crown deterioration from thermal cycling and poor original construction. Many Conway chimneys were built with sloped mortar crowns rather than proper concrete or precast units. These wash out, crack, and allow water straight into the flue. We replace with Gelco or custom-poured crowns with proper overhang and drip edge.
