Chimney Repair in The Colony - Camera Evidence Before Any Quote

Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across The Colony

If your chimney has cracked mortar, a spalled crown, or a flue that’s never been lined, we handle the repair in The Colony. We know this town’s housing well: the tract and patio homes off Paige Road and along the Colony Boulevard corridor were mostly built in the 1980s and 1990s, and their short masonry stacks are showing their age. That matters because a chimney problem here usually isn’t a cosmetic issue. It’s a venting and moisture problem that gets worse with every freeze. Call (888) 424-2086 and we’ll take a look.

Why The Colony Homeowners Call Lewisville Chimney Sweep for Chimney Repair

Most chimney companies around here are one of two things: a brush-and-vacuum outfit, or a sales operation that shows up with a liner quote already written. We’re neither. We sweep, inspect, and repair the same chimney, and we don’t recommend a repair we can’t show you on camera.

That approach travels well to The Colony, where a lot of the housing stock is original. Homeowners here tend to have found us after a bad experience or a quote they didn’t trust, and they want to see the evidence before they spend. We put the camera monitor in front of you and walk through what it finds.

Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and we work with professional-grade materials from brands like HeatShield and DuraFlex, so the fix we propose is one we can actually perform correctly. We’re licensed and insured, the estimate is free, and you get a written price before any work begins.

Chimney Masonry Repair in The Colony

Chimney Masonry Repair in The Colony usually means the joints and crown, not a full rebuild. On the 1980s and 1990s homes that make up most of this town, the brickwork is holding up fine while the mortar between it is cracking out and the crown is chipping. A typical repointing job here runs $450 to $900. A crown rebuild runs $400 to $800. A full chase rebuild, when the brick itself has failed, runs $2,500 to $6,000. We test the mortar and look at the crown before quoting either.

Repointing Deteriorated Joints

Grinding out and re-packing failed mortar joints keeps water from getting behind the brick. We match the joint profile so the repaired section doesn’t stand out. Most of the time this is the whole repair.

Crown and Flashing Repairs

The crown takes the freeze-thaw damage first. A cracked crown lets water into the flue, and the flashing at the roofline is usually loose or pulling away. We reset and seal both so water has nowhere to go.

Chimney Cap Installation in The Colony

Chimney Cap Installation in The Colony is one of the smaller jobs with the biggest payoff, especially on these short stacks. Many of the original chimneys here never had a modern spark arrestor, so a proper cap is doing work it wasn’t designed for. A stainless single-flue cap runs $175 to $350. A custom multi-flue cap runs $350 to $700. We size it to the actual flue opening, not the flue you wish you had.

What a Cap Actually Stops

A cap keeps rain and animals out of the flue and keeps embers off your roof. On a short masonry chimney, the top is also the part most exposed to freeze-thaw cycling, so the cap takes some of that load.

Sizing to the Flue You Have

A cap that’s too small strangles draft. One that’s too big lets water blow in around the edges. We measure the clay tile or prefab opening and match the cap to it.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Colony

When a repair calls for a liner or flue resurfacing, we work with the materials chimney engineers actually specify: HeatShield for ceramic flue resurfacing, DuraFlex for flexible stainless lining, Copperfield and Gelco for other components. We don’t stock parts, so we measure the flue, order the right size, and install it. HeatShield in our lineup matters on this page because it lets us resurface a failing clay-tile flue without always going to a full liner replacement, which is a meaningful difference in cost on these older homes. We’ll explain which option fits your chimney and show you why.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in The Colony Homes

Repair needs here follow the local pattern. Here’s what we actually find in The Colony:

• Unlined clay-tile flues in tract homes. Many 1980s – 90s stacks were built with clay tiles that were never lined for a modern appliance. That’s a venting problem, not a firebox problem, and it usually calls for a retrofit liner rather than a rebuild.
• Glossy third-degree creosote after emergency burning. When the ice storms hit and the power goes out, people burn whatever wood is on hand, often green or treated. The short stack loads up with sticky glaze a standard brush just polishes.
• Spalled crowns and missing spark arrestors. Freeze-thaw cycles chew up the exposed crown and the original chimneys often lack a proper cap, letting water and animals in.
• Deteriorated mortar joints at the roofline. The real damage on these chimneys is often mortar and flashing, not the crown a quick quote might target.
