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.

AfterFast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Colleyville
Chimney repair in Colleyville typically runs $600 – $3,400 depending on the job, and most repairs are booked within the same week, not the same day. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we serve Colleyville homeowners with a flat price agreed in writing before any work begins. If you’re seeing spalled brick, a cracked crown, or water staining near your chimney chase, call (830) 251-4560, and you’ll get a real person on the line, not a recording.
Colleyville isn’t one kind of housing stock. Drive through neighborhoods off Bransford Road or north of Highway 26, and you’ll pass two-story brick homes with steep rooflines, then turn a corner and find smaller one-story ranches built decades earlier. That mix changes what fails on a Colleyville chimney. A steep roof hides crown damage from the ground. Clay soil movement cracks mortar joints that look fine from the lawn. Knowing the difference saves you from paying for work you don’t actually need.
Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Colleyville’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
We’ve been at this since 2002, and our Colleyville customers call us for one reason more than any other: the price we write down is the price they pay. No moving numbers at the door. Every repair, from Chimney Repair to a full rebuild, gets a written quote before a single tool comes off the truck. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we book in Colleyville.
Our technicians show up in uniform, background-checked, and they don’t leave a mess behind. Hank Delano, who leads our crews, insists on that. We also answer our phones 24/7 with a live person. If you call at 6:30 in the morning because a storm tore flashing off your chimney near McPherson Park, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule a visit. Not a callback form.
Every repair carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within one year of the service date, we return at no charge. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the guarantee printed on your paperwork. That matters in Colleyville, where homeowners have been burned by chimney companies that underbid the job and then “discover” extra work the moment the ladder goes up.
Chimney Crown Repair in Colleyville
Chimney Crown Repair in Colleyville is one of the most common calls we get, and it’s usually the result of the city’s expansive clay soils going through wet-dry cycles year after year. The crown is the concrete slab that caps the top of the chimney, sealing the chase from rain and snow. When it cracks, water seeps into the brick below and the smoke chamber inside. In Colleyville, a standard crown repair runs $800 – $1,600, depending on crown size and access. Most jobs are completed in one visit.
What the Repair Actually Involves
We remove any loose or spalled concrete, clean the surface, and rebuild the crown with a proper slope so water sheds away from the flue. On Colleyville homes with steep second-story roof lines, we set up fall protection and document everything with photos before and after. You get the same photos we do. Not a verbal summary.
When a Crack Can Wait, and When It Can’t
A hairline crack in the crown may go years without causing visible damage. A crack you can fit a quarter into is letting water in, and on a Colleyville chimney that water is moving into the firebox and smoke chamber with every rain event. If the crown has separated from the flue tile or you see chunks of concrete in the gutter, it’s gone from “keep an eye on it” to “call now.” We’ll tell you the truth either way.
Chimney Repair Companies in Colleyville
Chimney Repair Companies in Colleyville aren’t all the same, and the difference usually shows up in what gets put in writing. We’ve followed crews from other companies after they left. Missing roof brackets. Silicone smeared over cracked mortar. Liners listed on the invoice that were never actually installed. Homeowners off Cheek-Sparger Road and around Woodbriar have shown us the paperwork. That’s exactly why our price, scope, and guarantee are always documented before work starts.
What a Legitimate Repair Quote Should Look Like
If a Colleyville chimney company quotes you a price over the phone without seeing the chimney, that number is fiction. A real quote names the materials you’ll get: HeatShield for resurfacing a flue, Olympia Chimney caps, or Famco flashing components. It tells you what will be repaired, how, and what it costs. If the number on the paper is lower than the number on the phone, walk away.
One Example From Near Colleyville Heritage High School
We were called out to a home near Colleyville Heritage High School after the homeowner noticed a water stain on the ceiling right beside the chimney chase. Our tech found a cracked chimney crown and lifted flashing at the roof line. We documented the spalling brick and the failed crown with photos, rebuilt the crown in the shop before the return trip, sealed the flashing, and reset the damper while we were in the firebox. No same-day promise, the job was booked flat-rate up front, and the crown repair got scheduled the same week.
Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
We install and work with professional-grade chimney products, and we name them on the quote so you can verify quality independently. For flue resurfacing in Colleyville, we spec HeatShield, a cerfractory material that bonds to the existing liner and restores a smooth smoke path. For caps and chase covers, we use Olympia Chimney components, and for flashing and termination hardware, Famco products. We keep common parts stocked for Colleyville jobs, which means most repairs go from quote to completion without waiting on a shipment. The brand goes on the invoice. Always.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Cracked crowns from clay soil movement: Colleyville’s expansive clay soils swell when wet and shrink in dry spells. That movement doesn’t just affect your foundation, it torques brick chimneys and cracks the concrete crown that seals the top.
- Hidden flashing failures on steep roofs: Many Colleyville homes have second-story chimneys with pitches you can’t see from the driveway. Flashing pulls away at the roof line, and water runs behind the brick for a season or two before the stain appears on the ceiling.
- Spalling brick below the roofline: Water-soaked brick freezes and pops off in thin layers. We see it most on the upper courses of chimneys on older Colleyville ranches, where 30 or 40 years of North Texas weather has stripped the surface layer entirely.
- Third-degree creosote glaze hiding above the damper: This one isn’t weather-related, but it’s the most dangerous thing we find. A brush-and-vac sweep removes loose soot, not the hard shiny glaze that builds from repeated low-temperature fires. Not every chimney company in Colleyville carries the camera to find it.
Pricing for Chimney Repair in Colleyville, TX
Here are real numbers for the Colleyville market. Mortar repointing runs $500 – $1,600 depending on how many courses need joint work.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Colleyville
Most Colleyville chimneys need a sweep once a year if you burn wood regularly, or once every two to three years if you only light 15 or 20 fires per season. The real answer depends on what the camera shows. We inspect with a video scope every time we sweep, so you’re not guessing based on a calendar, you’re acting on what’s actually inside your flue. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule a sweep and inspection at a flat rate.
A Colleyville chimney inspection from Flint includes a Level 2 camera run through the full flue, a visual check of the crown, flashing, and firebox, and a photo report delivered to your phone or email. You see the same images our tech sees. The report tells you what’s failing, what can wait, and what can’t. It doesn’t upsell you on work you don’t need. Call (830) 251-4560 to book one.
Sometimes, but not usually. A hairline crack on a Colleyville chimney crown is common, but it’s still a water entry point. Combined with our wet-dry clay cycles, that crack widens quickly. Book a crown repair now, before the spalling starts, and you’re looking at $800 – $1,600. Wait until the brick below starts failing and the price triples. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free assessment with photos.
First-degree creosote is loose soot that a brush removes easily. Third-degree creosote is a hard, shiny glaze that no brush can take off, and it’s the form that sustains chimney fires. It builds from repeated cool, smoldering fires and high-moisture wood. A camera inspection tells you which one is in your Colleyville chimney. If it’s third-degree, the fix is a resurfacing application, not another sweep. Call (830) 251-4560 for a flat-rate inspection.
Yes. It changes access, setup, and often cost. A steep two-story chimney requires fall protection and roof brackets we set up and anchor before work starts. The materials are the same, but the labor increases because the job takes longer to do safely. It also means most homeowners never see crown or flashing damage from the ground, which is why those failures go unnoticed longer. We quote steep-roof access as a line item, not a surprise. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll explain exactly what’s involved at your address.
