Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana is an almost entirely master-planned community built out between roughly 2000 and 2015. The homes are upscale, large, and equipped predominantly with prefabricated zero-clearance fireboxes and gas log systems rather than traditional masonry fireplaces. Many homeowners relocated from warmer climates without chimneys, so inspections get skipped even as 10-to-20-year-old metal chase covers, prefab liner panels, and gas-venting components hit the age where rust, warping, and seal failure become common.
Denton County’s sustained heat above 100°F warps and oxidizes metal chase covers and prefab fireplace panels faster than milder climates allow. The February 2021 freeze pushed homeowners to fire up chimneys that sat dormant for 8-plus months, creating thermal shock and revealing blockages that went unnoticed. Long, hot summers make unused flues prime nesting grounds for chimney swifts, raccoons, and squirrels; painted steel chase covers rust through or pop loose from heat cycling, so the first cold snap often signals a nest or debris blockage building since spring.

BeforeAfterChimney Cap & Crown in Lantana
Chimney cap and crown work in Lantana centers on prefabricated metal chase covers and concrete crowns atop factory-built chimney chases, not traditional masonry rebuilds. The painted steel chase covers on mid-2000s builds rust through or pop loose from Denton County’s extreme heat cycling, while concrete crowns on some custom homes develop hairline cracks that admit water into the chase assembly. Chimney Cap & Crown work here is inspection-driven: we camera the flue, photograph the crown and cap from the roof, and deliver a written price before replacing anything.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Rust streaks down the chase siding, water in the firebox after rain, or a cap that rattles or sits crooked after wind.
What it costs in Lantana
Prefabricated chase cover replacement in Lantana typically runs $340-$620 depending on chase dimensions and whether the chase frame needs reframing.
How we do it
We measure the chase opening, fabricate or order a stainless or galvanized replacement, remove the damaged cover, seal the new unit with high-temp silicone, and photograph the installation from the roof for the Clause 4 record.
Crown Coating
Signs you need it
Hairline cracking in the concrete crown, small chips at the edges, or efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on the chase brick below.
What it costs in Lantana
Crown coating with a flexible masonry sealant in Lantana typically runs $280-$450 for standard chase dimensions.
How we do it
We wire-brush the crown surface, apply a bonding agent, brush or trowel the elastomeric coating to specified thickness, and include the coated crown in the photo documentation set.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Chase cover replacement | $340-$620 |
| Crown coating | $280-$450 |
| Standard cap installation (new) | $180-$340 |
Do I need a full chase cover or just a cap?
If the rust is on the flat top panel that covers the entire chase, you need a chase cover; if only the small wire mesh cap over the flue opening is damaged, a cap replacement suffices. We photograph both from the roof and show you the difference before quoting.
How long does a coated crown last in Lantana heat?
A properly applied elastomeric crown coating typically lasts 8-12 years in North Texas conditions, though annual inspection catches early degradation from UV exposure and thermal cycling. We include crown condition in every Level 2 inspection.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Lantana
Chimney liner and rebuild work in Lantana focuses on prefabricated metal chimney systems whose factory liners have warped, separated, or corroded after 10-20 years of Denton County heat cycles and occasional freeze-event firing. Many Lantana homeowners discover liner failure only when a home inspection flags it or a gas insert fails to draft properly. Chimney Liner & Rebuild starts with a camera-scan assessment of the existing flue, followed by a written scope and price before any material is ordered.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Visible rust flakes in the firebox, a liner that has pulled away from the top connector, or a home inspector’s report citing “compromosed factory flue.”
What it costs in Lantana
Stainless steel liner installation for a prefab chase in Lantana typically runs $1,800-$3,200 depending on chase height and diameter.
How we do it
We measure the chase interior, order DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney stainless liner to spec, drop the new liner with proper top and bottom connections, seal the annular space, and pressure-test gas venting where applicable.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Multiple cracked or missing firebox panels, a chase with water damage to interior framing, or a liner failure that has damaged surrounding chase structure.
What it costs in Lantana
Partial chase rebuild in Lantana typically runs $2,400-$4,800 depending on the extent of framing, siding, and liner replacement required.
How we do it
We dismantle the damaged chase section, inspect and replace compromised framing, install new chase cover and liner, re-side to match, and document each phase with dated photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $1,800-$3,200 |
| Partial chase rebuild | $2,400-$4,800 |
| Flexible liner (gas appliance) | $1,200-$2,400 |
Can a prefab liner be repaired instead of replaced?
Factory-built prefab liners are not field-repairable per manufacturer specifications; once cracked, separated, or corroded, replacement is required for safe operation. We show you the camera footage and explain the replacement scope before ordering materials.
Does a liner replacement require pulling my gas insert?
Yes, gas inserts must be disconnected and removed to access the factory flue, then reinstalled and leak-tested after liner replacement; we include this in the written scope and price, not as a surprise add-on.
