What Northwood Hills, FL homeowners should know about fireplace cleaning

Fireplace Cleaning in Northwood Hills: why it pays to act early
Here is why Northwood Hills homeowners should not let it slide: A used fireplace builds soot, ash, and creosote that stain the surround, smell in humid weather, and feed a flue fire, so a proper cleaning is part safety and part keeping the room livable.
Northwood Hills sits on one of the highest natural ridges in South Florida at roughly 44 feet, and its hilltop homes with masonry chimneys catch more wind-driven rain at the rooftop, so flashing and crown seals are worth watching more closely than on lower ground. From the figure-eight street layout to Westview Avenue, the Northwood Hills homes we work on share a build type — 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival and Mission Revival homes plus a notable Post-WWII collection, set on the area's hilly terrain, generally masonry construction with tile roofs and masonry chimneys — and a fireplace cleaning is scoped to it. We run the same route across Northwood Hills and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Roosevelt Estates and Old Northwood.
