Inside a Westgate fireplace installation: what we do
We size the appliance to the room, run code-compliant venting (or none, for electric), and finish the surround, mantel, and hearth. In a climate that runs the AC far more than the fire, we steer many Westgate homeowners toward low-maintenance gas or electric. Around Westgate Estates, the standing humidity — not salt — is what we build the repair against. If the Westgate property is a rental or second home, we coordinate access and send progress updates so you do not have to be there.

Westgate (formerly Westgate-Belvedere Homes) is an unincorporated inland community bounded by Belvedere Road, Military Trail and Okeechobee Boulevard whose aging mid-century block homes often have original masonry chimneys that warrant cap and mortar inspection. Across Westgate — Westgate Estates, Belvedere Road corridor, and Military Trail area — the chimneys sit on a common stock: older mid-century single-family and small multifamily homes, largely concrete-block construction with stucco chimneys. We run the same route across Westgate and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Grandview Heights and Roosevelt Estates.
