Chimney liner installation, from sizing to cap
Why a masonry flue has to carry a lining
The Florida Building Code's chimney chapter says a masonry chimney shall be lined. It also asks that the lining match the appliance connected to it, following that appliance's listing and the maker's instructions. Relining is therefore not a cosmetic upgrade. It restores a condition the chimney is expected to meet.
Our first question is what the flue serves. A fireplace, a solid-fuel appliance and a gas-fired appliance can each point to a different system. Tell us what burns at the bottom of the chimney, and we explain which lining options fit before any material is chosen.
An existing metal liner of unknown origin
Some chimneys already hold a metal liner that nobody can identify. Without a label or paperwork, it is hard to know what it was listed for or whether it suits the current appliance. That uncertainty is a reason to assess it rather than assume it is fine.
Look for any tag at the top plate or the appliance connection, and share old invoices if you have them. We explain what we can confirm and what we cannot. Replacing an unidentified liner is one option, and the estimate says why it is recommended when it is.
Stainless steel liner installation explained
Stainless steel is a common liner material, but the metal alone does not settle the question. The alloy, the wall form and the listing decide which appliances and fuels it may serve. Two stainless liners can be listed for different uses.
The estimate names the product and its listed application. If a lighter liner is offered for a solid-fuel appliance, ask whether its listing allows that use. We explain our choice and can show where the manual supports it. A product name without its listing tells you very little about what it may serve.
Glazed deposits and relining preparation
Glazed creosote forms a hard, shiny layer that ordinary brushing may not remove. Liner instructions ask for it to be cleaned from the existing flue before relining. Left in place, it sits against the outside of the new liner.
If our assessment finds glazing, the estimate explains the extra preparation and its price. We use methods suited to the lining underneath. You see the cleaning step as a separate line, not buried in the liner price, and you can ask what it involves. Glazing deep in the flue may also affect whether the old tile stays.

Chimney relining questions and answers
Why does the estimate list cleaning separately from the liner?
Liner makers ask for the existing flue to be inspected and cleaned before relining, and the effort varies from chimney to chimney. Listing it separately shows you what the preparation involves and what it adds to the total.
How does the discount after the free inspection work?
When you book the relining no more than 72 hours after your free inspection, a 10% discount applies to the agreed work. The window starts from your own inspection, and the estimate shows the figure before you decide.
How do I compare relining quotes from different companies?
Line them up by liner system and listing, size, insulation, top parts, connection and preparation. Ask what each one excludes. A lower total that leaves out insulation or tile removal is describing a different job.
