The short version of how we handle it in Old Northwood: We rebuild the working parts — firebox, damper, draft — and restore the visible ones: cleaned or refinished surrounds, repaired mantels, and matched masonry, so a tired fireplace becomes a centerpiece again. With the Intracoastal Waterway just east of the district off Flagler Drive so near, wind-driven rain and chloride are the real test for Old Northwood chimneys, and we spec to both. We schedule Old Northwood work in a fixed window and confirm it the day before, so the assessment does not cost you a wasted afternoon.

Fireplace Restoration in Old Northwood: why it pays to act early
Here is why Old Northwood homeowners should not let it slide: Restoring an original fireplace keeps the character of an older Old Northwood home while bringing the firebox, damper, and venting back to a safe, working standard.
Old Northwood was founded in 1921 and its 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes have roughly century-old masonry chimneys, so deteriorated crowns and mortar joints, combined with the district's nearness to the Intracoastal, call for careful tuckpointing and waterproofing. What a lasting fireplace restoration in Old Northwood has to account for — around Broadway corridor and the Intracoastal Waterway just east of the district off Flagler Drive — is the housing itself: Founded in 1921, Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes built in the 1920s alongside later ranch and A-frame houses, with stucco and frame walls, tile roofs and original masonry chimneys. We run the same route across Old Northwood and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Pleasant City and Northwood Hills.
