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.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Justin’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
Justin homeowners call us because we put everything in writing before a tool comes off the truck. That’s The Garrison Standard, the operating code every Garrison Partners location follows: written price, documented scope, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. If a covered repair fails within one full year, we come back at no charge. No argument, no re-inspection fee, no fine print.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so when the crew pulls up to a home off Sam Reynolds Road or over by the Texas Motor Speedway corridor, you know exactly who’s walking through the door. Phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You won’t get a voicemail tree when you call about water staining in a firebox.
Hank Delano leads our team with a simple rule: if we can’t show you the problem with a camera, we don’t ask you to pay for a fix. That discipline is why so many of our repair jobs in Justin come from homeowner referrals and repeat sweeps. We’re not the cheapest bid in the metro, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the crew that hands you a photo report and a straight answer.
Chimney Cap Replacement in Justin
Chimney cap replacement is one of the most common repairs we handle in Justin, and the reason is simple: our freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain are hard on exposed metal. A rusted cap lets water straight down the flue, and once water hits the smoke chamber, spalling and liner damage follow. A standard cap replacement in Justin runs $325 – $600 depending on flue size and material. We stock Copperfield and Famco caps locally, so turnaround is usually days, not weeks.
What a Cap Replacement Involves
We measure the flue, remove the old cap, and inspect the crown underneath before installing the new one. If the crown is cracked, the new cap won’t solve the water problem by itself. We’ll show you photos of both before you approve anything.
When You Can Wait, and When You Shouldn’t
A cap with surface rust but no holes can usually wait until the next scheduled sweep. A cap with rusted-through sections, missing legs, or a detached spark arrestor should be replaced sooner. Water wins every time it’s given a season.
Chimney Liner Installation in Justin
Chimney liner installation in Justin runs $1,900 – $2,800 for a standard single-story flue, and it’s the repair we recommend when a camera inspection shows spalling, cracking, or third-degree creosote glaze that can’t be safely removed. The liner is the inner pipe that channels smoke and carbon monoxide out of the house. When it fails, you’re not dealing with a performance issue. You’re dealing with a safety issue.
DuraFlex and HeatShield
We install DuraFlex stainless liners for wood-burning fireplaces and use HeatShield resurfacing when the existing flue is structurally sound but needs a sealed interior surface. The choice is made by the condition of the flue, not by margin. You’ll see the camera footage either way.
The Freeze-Thaw Factor
Justin’s freeze-thaw cycles don’t just crack crowns. They accelerate liner degradation when water has already entered the flue. A liner with hairline cracks before winter can look significantly worse by March. That’s why we recommend a camera check as part of any sweep after a wet storm season.
Trusted Brands We Service in Justin
We work with professional-grade materials from Copperfield, Famco, DuraFlex, and HeatShield, because a repair should last longer than the warranty. For Justin customers, that means we’re not waiting on shipped-in unknowns. When a cap or liner component is needed, we pull from known inventory and schedule with realistic dates. You’ll know the brand going in, the part number on the written quote, and the reason we chose it. If you want to look up the manufacturer before you approve the work, we’d rather you did. A confident customer is easier to work with.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Justin Homes
- Water intrusion through cracked crowns and rusted caps. This is the number one call driver in Justin. The water gets in, sits in the smoke chamber, and gets mistaken for a creosote issue. A camera inspection separates the two in under an hour.
- Third-degree creosote glaze from infrequent, low-draft fires. Older ranch-style homes in Justin with shallow fireplaces and poor draft produce a hardened glaze that a standard brush won’t remove. We can remove it with proper equipment and technique, or recommend a liner if the flue has already deteriorated.
- Handyman flashing repairs that missed proper clearances. We see this often near Argyle and Haslet, where homes change hands and new owners inherit repairs done without the right clearances. The result is draft problems and, in some cases, carbon monoxide risk. The fix starts with a proper inspection, not another layer of sealant.
- Spalling brick on exposed chimneys. Homes along FM 156 and near the open fields around Justin take more wind and rain exposure than tree-shaded lots. Spalling brick is a structural sign that water has already done its work. Tuckpointing and mortar repointing stop the progression when caught before the brick loses too much face.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Justin
Every home in Justin should have a chimney inspection at least once a year if the fireplace is used at all, and after any severe storm season with heavy wind and rain. Older ranch-style homes and homes with exposed chimneys should be checked twice a year. The inspection catches cracked crowns, rusted caps, and early liner damage before the repair cost compounds. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule an inspection; camera reports are included.
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of the accessible parts of the chimney, flue, and firebox, and it’s what you need for routine yearly maintenance. A Level 2 inspection adds a camera run through the flue to document hidden damage, clearances, and liner condition, and it’s what we recommend for any Justin home after a storm event, before a liner installation, or when you’ve bought or sold the house. If you’ve had water stains or a draft issue, you need Level 2. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your chimney.
Third-degree creosote glaze can be removed with specialized tools and chemicals in most cases, and we do it regularly in Justin homes. The question is whether the flue behind the glaze is still sound. We run a camera after removal to check for cracks, spalling, or thin walls. If the flue is compromised, a liner is the honest answer. If it’s sound, you don’t need one. We won’t sell you a liner to fix a creosote problem. Call (830) 251-4560 for a camera inspection and a straight answer.
No. A rusted cap usually means a cap replacement, not a full chimney repair. The cap gets swapped for a new Copperfield or Famco model in the $325 – $600 range in Justin. The key is checking the crown and flue underneath. If water has already gotten past the cap, there may be secondary damage, and you’ll see it in the camera report before you spend a dollar. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll tell you if the cap is the only problem.
We don’t promise same-day repair, because a proper repair starts with a camera inspection and a written quote, not a rushed job. What we do offer is fast scheduling in Justin and a written price before any work starts, with most cap replacements and flashing repairs completed within the same week. If you’re seeing water or smelling smoke, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll get you on the schedule quickly.
