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.

AfterChimney Cleaning in Highland Village, TX
A Level 2 chimney inspection and cleaning in Highland Village typically runs $249-$349 and includes a camera scan of the flue, written photo documentation, and a written price before any work begins. Most homes here were built with factory-built fireplaces during the 1980s and 1990s, so our technicians focus on aging metal fireboxes, chase covers, and triple-wall flue pipe rather than traditional masonry. Call (940) 373-6912 for a free estimate or to schedule.
We dispatch crews to Highland Village from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and we’ve found that lake-adjacent moisture from Lake Lewisville creates a unique maintenance pattern here. Rust on chase covers and damper plates is far more common than in inland suburbs, and many homeowners who converted to gas logs decades ago don’t realize their flues still need inspection for wildlife blockages from the wooded greenbelt corridors.
Why Highland Village Homes Are Different
Highland Village’s housing stock is almost entirely large, upscale single-family homes built between roughly 1980 and 2005. The majority feature factory-built zero-clearance fireplaces from brands like Heatilator and Heat-N-Glo, not hand-laid masonry chimneys. This changes everything about how we work here.
North Texas winters are short and irregular, so fireplaces see only occasional use. But proximity to Lake Lewisville means persistent ambient moisture that accelerates rust on galvanized metal components even during months of dormancy. When cold snaps do hit, homeowners often burn improperly dried wood, producing sticky Class I creosote despite low annual usage.
Many residents converted to gas logs in the 1990s or 2000s and stopped scheduling maintenance. Gas appliances still require clear, properly lined flues, and we regularly find bird and wasp nests packed into dormant flues on these lake-adjacent lots where greenbelt corridors funnel wildlife onto rooftops. The rated service life of most prefabricated units is 20-30 years, meaning a significant share of Highland Village systems are now at or beyond that threshold.

BeforeAfterChimney Cap & Crown in Highland Village
Chase covers and crowns on Highland Village’s factory-built fireplaces take a beating from Lake Lewisville moisture, and many are original to homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. A rusted chase cover lets water into the chase, rotting framing and rusting the flue pipe it was meant to protect. Chimney Cap & Crown covers our full catalog of cap and crown solutions.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Stains on the chase exterior, rust streaks running down stucco or siding, or visible holes and corrosion in the metal cover itself.
What it costs in Highland Village
Factory-built chase cover replacement typically runs $450-$850 depending on chase size and whether the flue pipe collar needs custom fabrication.
How we do it
We measure the chase opening, fabricate a replacement from stainless steel or copper through our Haven buying network, and seal all penetrations with high-temp silicone.
Crown Coating
Signs you need it
Hairline cracks in the concrete crown, water pooling after rain, or pieces of mortar washing out of the chimney top.
What it costs in Highland Village
Crown coating with flexible sealant runs $350-$650 for minor cracking; rebuilt crowns start around $1,200 if structural damage is found.
How we do it
We clean the crown surface, apply a bonding agent, then brush or trowel a flexible crown coat rated for thermal cycling in North Texas conditions.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Highland Village
| Item | Typical range in Highland Village |
|---|---|
| Chase cover replacement | $450 - $850 |
| Crown coating (minor cracks) | $350 - $650 |
| Crown rebuild | $1,200 - $2,500 |
How do I know if my chase cover is rusted through?
Look for rust stains on your chase exterior, water marks on interior walls near the fireplace, or schedule our camera inspection and we’ll photograph the cover from inside the chase. Call (940) 373-6912 for a free estimate.
Can a damaged crown wait until next season?
Small hairline cracks can be coated before winter, but a crown letting water into the chase accelerates flue pipe rust and framing rot quickly in Highland Village’s moist lake-adjacent climate. We document the damage and tell you plainly if it can wait.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Highland Village
Most Highland Village homes never had clay flue liners; they have factory-built metal flue pipe with a rated 20-30 year lifespan. Many are now past that threshold, with corrosion, separation at joints, or missing insulation creating draft and safety hazards that a standard sweep won’t catch. Chimney Liner & Rebuild covers our full liner and rebuild capabilities.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Smoke drafting back into the room, visible corrosion or holes in the flue pipe, or a home inspection flagging the factory-built unit as beyond rated service life.
What it costs in Highland Village
Stainless steel liner installation for a factory-built fireplace conversion or masonry chimney typically runs $2,800-$4,500.
How we do it
We run a camera to map the flue, then install a properly sized stainless liner with insulation and a new connector to your appliance, documenting every joint with photos.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalling brick above the roofline, a leaning chimney stack, or separation between the chimney and house wall that widens seasonally.
What it costs in Highland Village
Partial rebuilds from the roof up generally fall between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on access and whether the chase structure is salvageable.
How we do it
We dismantle damaged courses to sound masonry, rebuild with matching brick or stone, and install proper flashing and a new cap before final camera verification.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Highland Village
| Item | Typical range in Highland Village |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Partial rebuild (roof up) | $3,500 - $7,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,000 - $15,000 |
Does my factory-built fireplace need a liner at all?
Factory-built units use listed metal flue pipe, not a liner, but that pipe corrodes and separates over time; we camera-scan to verify integrity and replace pipe or convert to a listed liner system when needed. Call (940) 373-6912 to schedule.
How long does a partial rebuild take?
Most partial rebuilds finish in two to four days, weather permitting, with the fireplace out of service only during active masonry work; we give you a written schedule before starting.

We stock and install materials from Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield through our Haven buying network, keeping turnaround short for Highland Village homeowners. Parts for Heatilator, Heat-N-Glo, and other common factory-built brands are typically available without extended waits. our brands
