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 Grapevine, TX
Chimney cap and crown work in Grapevine runs $450-$1,800 depending on whether we’re sealing hairline cracks or pouring a new concrete crown. The freeze-thaw cycles hitting North Texas clay soil split crowns and pop mortar joints every winter, especially on the original brick chimneys in Historic Downtown and the 1980s-era homes near Grapevine Lake. We inspect every crown with a camera scan and written scope before quoting - call (682) 499-2712 to book.
Why Grapevine Homes Are Different
Grapevine’s housing stock splits cleanly between two eras. The Historic Downtown district holds early-1900s masonry homes with original brick chimneys and clay-tile flue liners that have seen a century of expansion and contraction. Across town, the DFW airport-corridor boom of the 1980s and 1990s dropped thousands of tract homes with builder-grade prefab zero-clearance fireplaces now 30-40 years old, many past their rated service life.
The local climate makes both types worse. Short, intense burning seasons produce low-heat, smoldering fires that deposit sticky Stage 2 and glazed Stage 3 creosote faster than steady nightly use would. Sudden hard freezes and ice storms stress crowns already damaged by expansive black clay soil heaving. And Grapevine’s self-branded identity as the “Christmas Capital of Texas” means fireplaces that sat idle ten months suddenly run full-tilt for holiday guests, turning deferred maintenance into immediate hazard.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Grapevine
Grapevine’s original brick chimneys and 1980s-era masonry alike suffer crown failure from freeze-thaw cycling on expansive clay soil. A cracked crown lets water into the chimney structure, where it freezes, expands, and destroys mortar joints from the inside out. We address this with Chimney Cap & Crown services built to Haven Standard Clause 1: written price, written scope, written warranty before any work begins.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the concrete crown surface, water staining on interior firebox walls, or pieces of crown material found in the yard after freeze events.
What it costs in Grapevine
Crown repair in Grapevine typically runs $450-$900 for crack sealing and resurfacing, or $1,200-$1,800 for partial crown rebuild with poured concrete.
How we do it
We grind out cracked material, apply bonding agent, and pour new concrete sloped to shed water, with camera documentation of the flue interior before and after.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Water entering the flue during rain, animal nesting debris in the firebox, or rust streaks on the chimney exterior indicating no cap is present.
What it costs in Grapevine
Chimney cap installation in Grapevine ranges $350-$650 for standard single-flue stainless steel, or $550-$950 for multi-flue custom caps.
How we do it
We measure the flue and crown overhang, fabricate or source the cap from our Copperfield and Famco inventory, and secure with masonry anchors and high-temp sealant.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Grapevine
| Item | Typical range in Grapevine |
|---|---|
| Crown crack repair / coating | $450 - $900 |
| Partial crown rebuild | $1,200 - $1,800 |
| Single-flue cap installation | $350 - $650 |
| Multi-flue cap installation | $550 - $950 |
How long does crown repair take in Grapevine?
Most crown repairs finish in one visit of 3-4 hours; full rebuilds may require a second day for cure time. We schedule to avoid your burning season, and you’ll have photos and written warranty before we leave.
Can a cracked crown wait until after the holidays?
Hairline cracks can be monitored with a camera inspection, but open cracks admitting water should be sealed before the next freeze to prevent internal mortar damage. We’ll show you the camera footage and quote in writing so you can decide.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Grapevine
Grapevine’s century-old clay-tile liners in Historic Downtown and the deteriorated prefab flue systems in 1980s tract homes both present liner failure risks. Cracked or missing liner sections allow combustion gases to enter wall cavities, and the short, intense burning season here produces rapid creosote buildup that accelerates corrosion. We evaluate every flue with NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan and quote liner or rebuild work in writing through our Chimney Liner & Rebuild service.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Clay tile fragments in the firebox, visible gaps or cracks in the flue wall on camera inspection, or a home inspector flagging the chimney as unlined.
What it costs in Grapevine
Stainless steel liner installation in Grapevine runs $2,500-$4,500 for a standard straight flue, or $3,500-$6,000 with offsets or multiple appliances connected.
How we do it
We drop a flexible or rigid stainless steel liner from DuraFlex, insulate with ceramic blanket where required by code, and terminate with a proper top plate and cap.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalling brick above the roofline, leaning chimney structure, or multiple cracked liner sections with exterior mortar deterioration indicating structural movement.
What it costs in Grapevine
Partial chimney rebuild in Grapevine typically costs $3,500-$7,500 for above-roof reconstruction, depending on height and brick matching requirements.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound structure, salvage matching brick when possible, pour a new crown, and install a new liner system with full photo documentation.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Grapevine
| Item | Typical range in Grapevine |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (straight flue) | $2,500 - $4,500 |
| Stainless steel liner (with offsets) | $3,500 - $6,000 |
| Partial chimney rebuild | $3,500 - $7,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,000 - $15,000 |
Does my 1980s prefab fireplace need a liner?
Prefab units have factory-built metal flue systems, not clay liners; if the metal chase cover or flue is corroded, we replace the factory components rather than installing a masonry liner. Camera inspection shows exactly what has failed.
How do I know if I need a full rebuild versus just a liner?
Structural movement, widespread spalling, or a leaning stack indicates rebuild need; isolated liner cracks with sound masonry may need only relining. Our camera scan and written scope separate the two before you commit.

What Grapevine Customers Say
"They ran a camera down the flue and showed me the cracked tiles on a screen. The previous company had swept it twice and never mentioned it."
- Gregory F."They told me the flue was fine and I did not need a liner. Charged me for the inspection and nothing else. That is why I have called them twice since."
- Hal M."We were buying the house and needed a real inspection. The report had photographs, the standard it was done to, and a clear repair figure. The seller paid for the repair."
