Hank Delano and the team at Chimney Repair have worked enough homes along FM 1103, around Willow Grove, and through the Wiederstein Ranch area to know what Cibolo chimneys actually deal with. Before any tool comes off the truck, you get a written price for the exact scope of work. You approve it first, and the final invoice matches it. That’s how we operate everywhere, and it matters even more in Cibolo, where one bad season of storms can turn a small crown crack into a full brick repair.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Cibolo’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Cibolo homeowners don’t want a chimney company that shows up late, throws a surprise number at them, and disappears after the job. They want a crew that says what it will do, does exactly that, and stands behind it in writing. That’s what we’ve been doing since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family of independently owned chimney service companies. Every repair we do in Cibolo carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise, valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we return at no charge. No argument, no red tape.

We know the local housing stock: the two-story brick traditionals off FM 78, the ranchers in Willow Ridge, the newer builds going up around the east side. Each one has its own chimney failures. We dispatch background-checked, uniformed technicians from our San Antonio office to Cibolo, so the person who arrives at your door is who we said would arrive. That matters when you’re letting someone onto your roof and into your home. Cibolo residents get the same flat-price guarantee as every other city we serve. The price you approve before booking is the price on the invoice.

Chimney Cap Replacement in Cibolo

Chimney Cap Replacement in Cibolo is one of our most frequent repair calls, and it costs $285 – $640 depending on the cap size, material, and whether the flue tile below it needs minor sealing at the same time. A chimney cap is the metal or masonry cover that sits on top of your chimney and keeps rain, birds, squirrels, and debris out of the flue. When a Cibolo cap rusts through or gets blown loose by a storm, you’ve got an open pipe into your house that’s inviting water into the flue and giving raccoons a place to nest.

Rust and Animal Intrusion

Most caps we replace in Cibolo have rusted out at the screen or the base. Once the mesh opens up, birds and squirrels build nests inside the flue, which blocks draft and pushes carbon monoxide back into the house when you finally light a fire. We stock stainless steel caps from Copperfield and Olympia Chimney in common Cibolo sizes, so we can usually replace one the same week we inspect it.

Custom Sizing for Older Cibolo Chimneys

Not all caps fit off the shelf, especially on the masonry fireplaces in older Cibolo neighborhoods where flue tiles were a half-inch off standard. We measure the flue opening, then specify the right cap from our trade suppliers instead of forcing a universal piece that rattles loose in the first wind. You get the exact cap your chimney needs, with a written guarantee that covers it for a full year.

Chimney Liner Installation in Cibolo

Chimney Liner Installation in Cibolo typically runs $1,200 – $3,400 depending on whether we’re relining a furnace flue or a fireplace flue, the height of your chimney, and whether the old clay tiles can be broken out through the top or require interior access. A chimney liner is the inner pipe or tube that channels smoke and combustion gases safely up and out of your house. In Cibolo, liners fail from two things: years of creosote eating through them, or water intrusion that cracks the clay tiles from the inside out.

DuraFlex Relining for Damaged Flues

When we find a cracked or deteriorated liner during a camera inspection, we install a DuraFlex stainless steel liner sized to the appliance venting through it. The job starts with a full video scan so you can see the damage with your own eyes before approving any work. We don’t recommend a liner replacement based on age alone. You get a photo report showing exactly where the failure is, and the written quote reflects that specific repair.

When a Liner Can Wait

Some hairline cracking at the top of a flue tile isn’t an immediate hazard if you don’t use the fireplace often. But any liner breach that exposes the surrounding masonry to heat or allows carbon monoxide into the chase is a fix-now situation. During a Level 2 inspection, our camera shows us which one you’re dealing with. We’ll tell you straight if the liner can wait another year, because we’d rather earn the larger job later than sell you one today you didn’t need.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo

We work with materials that hold up to Cibolo’s weather and temperature swings rather than whatever’s cheapest on the distributor’s shelf. That means caps and termination pieces from Olympia Chimney and Copperfield, stainless flex liners from DuraFlex, and repair compounds matched to the job’s details. Keeping common parts stocked means faster turnaround when a Cibolo homeowner calls with a missing cap or a liner failure. If you’re considering a repair from us, ask which product line we’re specifying and why. It’s a fair question, and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Cibolo Homes

Cibolo sits on the edge of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone where expansive clay soils and sudden freeze-thaw swings work masonry more than most people expect. Chimney crowns, caps, and flashing take a beating here even on homes that have never burned a fire. That means many of our Cibolo repair calls are about water and animal intrusion, not just creosote. Here’s what we see most often:

• Cracked or spalling crowns: Cibolo’s freeze-thaw cycles crack chimney crowns at the edges, which lets water run straight into the brick below. The water rusts dampers, breaks down mortar joints, and eventually buckles the masonry. A crown seal is a $295 job that prevents a $1,800 rebuild.
• Missing or loose chimney caps: A loose cap in Cibolo is an open invitation for squirrels and birds. Once a nest blocks the flue, draft stops working and carbon monoxide backs up into the room when you use the fireplace.
• Spalling brick in the smoke chamber: Water intrusion reaches the softer brick inside the chimney and causes the face of the brick to flake off. Spalling brick doesn’t just look bad; it reduces the structural integrity of the chimney above your roofline.
• First-degree creosote left too long: Cibolo homeowners who burn wood occasionally often skip sweeps because the chimney “looks fine.” But first-degree creosote is flaky and fine; it builds into third-degree glaze that a standard brush won’t remove. That’s when a chemical treatment or mechanical cleanup becomes a repair job, not just a sweep.

We were called out to a home off FM 78 in the Wiederstein Ranch area where the homeowner kept hearing scratching in the chimney. Our tech pulled the cap and found a cracked crown and spalling brick from years of water getting in, plus a nest blocking the flue. We reset a new stainless cap, sealed the crown, ran a Level 2 inspection with a camera, and gave the homeowner a photo report showing the repaired crown and clear flue before we left.
