Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Highland Village
If you’re in Highland Village and something’s wrong with your chimney, we can help. We work on the masonry and prefab chimneys that fill Highland Shores, the Lakeside area, and the custom homes along the lake’s north shore, and we understand what these houses need. Highland Village sits on the north shore of Lewisville Lake, where many homes were built between the 1980s and 2000s with decorative fireplaces and gas log sets. Most of these chimneys don’t see heavy wood burning, which changes what repairs actually matter. Call (888) 424-2086 to book a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Highland Village Homeowners Call Lewisville Chimney Sweep for Chimney Repair
Highland Village homeowners call us because we show up knowing the difference between a chimney that needs sweeping and one that needs a liner, and we can prove which one it is with a camera before we recommend anything. Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and they work with the same professional-grade materials chimney specialists specify nationwide: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. We handle the full sweep-to-repair cycle so you’re not coordinating between a sweep company and a masonry contractor.
We serve homeowners in Highland Village and the surrounding communities, and we know this market well. The 75077 area has a lot of large brick-veneer custom homes with prefab metal fireboxes and exterior masonry chimneys, and those systems need manufacturer-specific inspection rather than the traditional wood-fire sweep a generalist might default to. We also work in Flower Mound, Lewisville, Hickory Creek, and Lake Dallas, so Highland Village isn’t an afterthought in our service area. When you call, we book a specific time and tell you what we’ll check. We don’t promise instant dispatch.
What builds trust with our Highland Village customers is the inspection-first approach. We don’t recommend liner replacement or masonry work without camera evidence you can see. If something can safely wait, we say so. That’s why homeowners in Highland Shores and the Lakeside area call us back when the next issue comes up. For the full scope of what we handle, see our chimney repair services.

Chimney Liner Installation in Highland Village
Chimney liner installation in Highland Village often comes up not because of heavy wood burning but because a factory-built flue has deteriorated from moisture and long idle periods, or because a homeowner is converting a gas log set to something more substantial. In many Highland Village homes, the original prefab liner has cracks or gaps that let heat and gases escape into the chase. A DuraFlex flexible stainless liner is the standard fix for damaged or undersized flues, and it’s what we’d specify for most prefab and masonry chimney retrofits in this market.
A typical liner installation in Highland Village runs $2,800 – $5,500, depending on flue height, liner diameter, and whether the smoke chamber needs work too. The written estimate sets the final price, and we don’t recommend a liner unless the camera shows it’s needed.
What the Installation Involves
We run a camera inspection first to confirm the flue dimensions and current condition. Then the old liner, if it’s failing, comes out, the flue gets cleaned, and the new stainless liner goes in with proper insulation and a top plate. We check the connection at the appliance and the termination at the crown before we call it done.
When a Highland Village Home Needs One
If your prefab fireplace has a liner with visible cracks, gaps at the joints, or rust from moisture sitting in an unused flue, it needs replacement before the next fire. A gas conversion or insert upgrade also often requires a properly sized liner. We’ll show you the camera footage so you can see the problem yourself.
Chimney Flashing Repair in Highland Village
Chimney flashing repair in Highland Village comes up more often than you’d expect on the large custom homes around Highland Shores and the Lakeside area, where exterior masonry chimneys meet the roofline and the original flashing has had decades of North Texas sun and spring hail working on it. Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney passes through the roof, and when it pulls away or rusts through, water gets behind the brick. That leads to spalling brick, cracked mortar, and eventually interior damage.
Flashing repair in Highland Village typically runs $350 – $900, depending on whether we’re resealing existing flashing, replacing step flashing, or rebuilding the whole flashing system with new counter-flashing. The extent of water damage under the surface affects the final estimate. We inspect the attic side where possible to confirm whether water has already made it inside.
Signs Your Flashing Is Failing
Look for rust streaks running down the chimney brick, water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, or mortar that crumbles when you touch it. These show up after heavy spring rain. If you see any of them, get it checked before the next storm season.
Why Highland Village Chimneys Take a Beating
Summer heat and humidity expand masonry, and occasional spring hail and high winds crack exterior crowns and loosen caps. Flashing that was fine a few years ago can pull loose after enough of that. Inspections in spring and fall catch the problem before it spreads into the brick.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Village
We work with professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. These are the brands chimney specialists trust because they hold up in real installations and the product specs are clear about what each component is designed for. We don’t stock parts locally, but the brands we work with are widely available, so turnaround on most repairs is quick once we know what’s needed. If you already have a HeatShield ceramic flue resurfacing, a DuraFlex liner, or an Olympia Chimney cap assembly, we can service and evaluate it. When we recommend a product, it’s because the repair requires it, not because it’s convenient for us.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Highland Village Homes
- Cracked chimney crowns on exterior masonry. North Texas summer heat and spring hail crack the mortar crown at the top of the chimney. Once it cracks, water gets in, and that water leads to spalling brick and interior damage over time.
- Loose or missing chimney caps that let birds and squirrels in. In Highland Village, fireplaces sit idle for months, and a missing cap screen is an open door. Birds, squirrels, and wasps build nests in the flue, and that’s often what prompts a call after a long period of not using the fireplace.
- Deteriorated flue liners in prefab fireplaces. Factory-built flues in 1980s to 2000s homes can crack from moisture and lack of use. A camera inspection shows whether the liner is still sound before you light a fire.
- Animal nests in the smoke chamber and cap. The most common call in 75077 isn’t a sooty flue. It’s a homeowner who hasn’t burned a fire in two years asking why there’s a scratching sound in the chimney. It usually turns out to be a nest built in the cap or smoke chamber.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Highland Village
Scratching sounds usually mean a bird or squirrel has built a nest in the chimney cap or smoke chamber. In Highland Village, an idle gas fireplace is an open invitation, because the cap screen is often missing or loose. We perform a Level 2 inspection, remove the nest, check the damper and flue liner for damage, and can fit a cap screen to prevent the same thing from happening again. Call (888) 424-2086 to book an inspection – estimates are free.
Yes, especially for houses with gas log sets or idle prefab fireplaces. The chimney system still degrades from moisture and lack of use, and animal nests or cracked liners won’t show up without a camera. Highland Village has a lot of decorative fireplaces that see only a handful of fires each winter, so annual inspection matters more than annual sweeping. Call us to schedule.
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of the accessible parts of the fireplace and flue. A Level 2 inspection adds a camera run through the flue and smoke chamber, and it’s what you need if the fireplace has been idle a long time, if there’s a suspected nest, or if you’re changing the appliance or liner. For prefab fireplaces in Highland Village, the Level 2 is usually the right call because it catches liner cracks you can’t see otherwise. Call for a quote.
Small hairline cracks can often wait a short time, but cracks that are letting water in should be sealed before the next rain, because water intrusion causes spalling brick and mortar failure underneath. Highland Village’s spring hail and summer heat make crown cracking common. We’ll inspect and tell you honestly whether it can wait or needs attention now. Estimates are free.
We work with DuraFlex flexible stainless liners, HeatShield ceramic flue resurfacing, and Olympia Chimney products, along with Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield.
