What Highland Beach, FL homeowners should know about chimney animal removal

Chimney Animal Removal in Highland Beach: why it pays to act early
Uncapped Highland Beach flues are prime nesting spots for birds, squirrels, and raccoons, and the nests they leave block the flue, carry parasites, and stay a fire hazard until cleared.
Highland Beach is a thin barrier-island town with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, so the salt air there corrodes chimney caps and flashing on its oceanfront single-family homes and the rooftop vents of its condo towers. What a lasting chimney animal removal in Highland Beach has to account for — around the oceanfront condominium towers along State Road A1A and State Road A1A running the roughly three-mile length of the barrier-island town between Boca Raton and Delray Beach — is the housing itself: A mix of 10- to 15-story condominium towers built largely in the 1980s and multi-story single-family mansions, primarily masonry construction; detached homes may have brick or stucco-clad chimneys while towers rely on mechanical/appliance venting. We serve Highland Beach and nearby Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Deerfield Beach on the same route.
