Ocean Ridge is a barrier-island town between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, bordered at its north end by the Boynton Inlet, where direct salt-air exposure makes regular inspection of metal chimney caps and flashing essential to prevent corrosion-driven leaks. Ocean Ridge sits in Palm Beach County near the South Lake Worth (Boynton) Inlet at the town's north end, and the local housing shapes every chimney animal removal: mid-century and later single-family oceanfront and Intracoastal homes on the barrier island, masonry block construction with stucco-clad or masonry chimneys. We serve Ocean Ridge and nearby Boynton Beach, Briny Breezes, and Golf on the same route.
