Learn moreA trade Jake learned by doing
Jake & Sons Chimney Care began with Jake himself — a chimney technician who learned the work from the service side before opening his own business in 1997.
His sons joined the company later, turning the work he started into the family business behind the name today. That history shapes how we work: a chimney problem rarely arrives with a neat description, so the first job is to understand the symptom, and the next is to find out what's actually happening in your particular system.
Family owned and run in South Florida.

Common questions
Do you charge for an estimate or a diagnosis?
Pricing and estimate policies are set by the owner and confirmed when you call. What we can tell you here is how we work: we look at the actual system, explain what we find, and describe the scope before any work begins. Call (561) 556-2104 and we'll walk you through what to expect for your situation.
Are you available 24/7?
We accept service requests 24/7 by phone and through the form on this site. That means you can reach out any time; it does not by itself mean a technician arrives immediately. When you contact us, we'll confirm availability and scheduling for your address.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in West Palm Beach and serve West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and many surrounding communities across Palm Beach, Broward, and northern Miami-Dade counties, down to Homestead. For a boundary address or ZIP code, call to confirm service at your address.
My fireplace is old and I've never used it. Where do I start?
Start with an inspection rather than a first fire. A chimney that has sat unused can still develop problems — moisture, debris, or an unknown interior condition — that are worth checking before you light it. A Level 1 inspection reviews the readily accessible parts and points to whether anything more is needed.
Do you work on gas fireplaces?
We service wood and gas systems subject to the work the owner confirms is offered. Gas work has real safety boundaries. If you smell gas, leave the area and call your gas utility or 911 first, then reach out to us. Call (561) 556-2104 to confirm gas service for your appliance.
