Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Highland Village, TX
Chimney work in Highland Village, TX looks different from what most people picture. The homes along the north shore of Lewisville Lake are largely 1980s to 2000s brick-veneer customs with decorative fireplaces, prefab metal fireboxes, and gas log sets, and plenty of them burn only a handful of times each winter. That means the call we take most often isn’t about heavy creosote. It’s about a chimney that’s gone quiet for a couple of seasons, a cap full of nesting material, or a factory-built flue that needs a manufacturer-specific inspection rather than a generic brushing. We cover the full sweep-to-repair cycle, and we work with the same materials chimney engineers specify. Call (888) 424-2086.
Why Highland Village Homes Are Different
Start with the housing stock. Subdivisions like Highland Shores and the Lakeside area are dominated by large brick-veneer customs built between the 1980s and the 2000s. Most have prefab metal fireboxes and exterior masonry chimneys, and a good number were fitted with gas log sets from the start. Factory-built flues carry manufacturer-specific clearances and components, so an inspection has to account for the exact system in the house, not just the firebox opening. Generic advice doesn’t get you far here.
Then there’s the climate. North Texas winters are mild and short, which means fireplaces sit idle for months at a stretch. Idle chimneys are attractive chimneys: birds, squirrels, and wasps move into caps and flues during the long warm season. Summer heat and humidity, plus the occasional spring hail and high winds, work on exterior crowns and caps, cracking mortar and loosening what should be tight. A cracked crown lets water into the chimney structure, and a loosened cap lets animals in. In this market, spring and fall inspections matter more than a mid-winter cleaning.
The dominant call in 75077 isn’t a sooty flue. It’s a customer who hasn’t burned a fire in two years asking why there’s a scratching sound in the chimney. Usually it’s a nest built in the cap or the smoke chamber, and it needs to come out before anything else happens.

Our Main Highland Village Services
Two jobs account for most of what Highland Village homeowners ask us about, and they tend to go together: one tells you what’s actually wrong inside the flue, the other fixes it.
Chimney Sweep in Highland Village
Sweeping in Highland Village is less about volume of soot and more about what’s living in the flue. On a home where the fireplace runs a few times a winter, the buildup is often light while the obstruction is not: a nest in the smoke chamber, debris against the cap screen, a damper that won’t seat. A proper sweep here includes removing that material, checking the firebox and damper, and confirming the flue is clear top to bottom. We bring drop cloths and a contained vacuum so the living room looks the same when we leave. If the fireplace hasn’t been used in a season or two, that’s exactly when a chimney sweep is worth booking before you light the first fire.
Chimney Repair in Highland Village
Repair work around Highland Village tends to be exterior and structural rather than firebox-heavy. Sun, humidity, and spring storms crack crowns, loosen caps, and open mortar joints on masonry chimneys, and water gets in through all three. We handle crown repair, cap replacement, flashing, and masonry repointing, and when the flue itself has failed we work with flexible stainless liner systems and ceramic resurfacing rather than defaulting to a full tear-out. Prefab units get manufacturer-correct components. If you’ve noticed staining on the ceiling near the chimney or mortar crumbs on the roof, that’s the kind of thing chimney repair should address before the next storm season.
Chimney Inspection in Highland Village
An inspection is the right starting point for most Highland Village chimneys, because the housing here hides problems a sweep won’t reveal. Homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s with prefab metal fireboxes and factory-built flues need their components checked against the manufacturer’s specifications, and a chimney that sits idle through mild North Texas winters is a prime candidate for nest debris, cracked exterior crowns, and gas log sets that haven’t been serviced in years. We offer Chimney Inspection as a standalone service, not as a sales pitch attached to a cleaning appointment. Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and they inspect with a camera so you see what they see.
Fireplace Inspection
Signs you need it
You need a fireplace inspection when the firebox shows cracked or crumbling refractory panels, the damper won’t open or close smoothly, or the fireplace has sat unused long enough that you’re not sure what’s inside it.
What it costs in Highland Village
A fireplace inspection typically runs $99 to $199 in Highland Village, and a Level 2 inspection with camera runs $150 to $350; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We check the firebox panels, damper, smoke chamber, and firebox-to-flue connection, then photograph anything that needs attention and walk you through it before we leave.
Chimney Flue Inspection
Signs you need it
Scratching or flapping sounds from the chimney, a draft that pulls smoke into the room, or visible debris at the damper all point to a flue that needs to be looked at directly.
What it costs in Highland Village
Flue inspection falls within the same typical range of $99 to $199 for a basic inspection, or $150 to $350 when the job calls for a camera and a Level 2 look.
How we do it
We run a camera down the flue to check for cracked tiles, failed joints, nesting material, and obstructions, and we show you the footage rather than describing it.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Highland Village
| Item | Typical range in Highland Village |
|---|---|
| Basic chimney inspection (Level 1) | $99 – $199 |
| Level 2 inspection with camera | $150 – $350 |
| Inspection as part of a sweep | $99 – $250 |
Do I need a Level 2 chimney inspection in Highland Village?
A Level 2 inspection is the usual choice in Highland Village when a home changes hands, after a chimney fire, or when a prefab flue hasn’t been opened up in years. It uses a camera and covers concealed areas a basic check can’t reach.
How long does a chimney inspection take?
Most inspections here take 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how many components we’re checking and whether a camera run is involved. You get the findings explained on site, and anything we recommend comes with photo evidence.
Brands We Service in Highland Village

In Highland Village, height and roof access on the big two-story brick-veneer homes push exterior work toward the upper end of the range, and prefab flues that turn out to need manufacturer-specific components can add to a liner job. What doesn’t vary is how pricing works: we quote from a flat-price schedule and agree the figure before we book, and the written estimate sets the final price. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can review yourself.

What Highland Village Customers Say
"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
- Yolanda Vargas"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Neil Novak"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Angela Tran
