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 Company in Highland Park, TX
Highland Park is one of the most densely built municipalities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, with brick and masonry chimneys on nearly every pre-1980 lot. Most of those chimneys were built when homes were heated by fire, not decorated by them, and the flues reflect it: narrow terra-cotta liners, shallow smoke shelves, and decades of creosote layered on top. We operate as a Highland Park chimney company that accounts for those conditions before the first tool comes off the truck. You can skip the guesswork and call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer on your chimney.
Why Highland Park Homes Are Different
Highland Park’s housing stock skews older than most nearby suburbs, with a high concentration of homes built between the 1920s and the 1960s. Those chimneys were framed around masonry fireplaces, which means the flue runs longer, bends more, and accumulates creosote faster than a modern pre-fab chase. Add North Texas weather, which alternates between wet springs, 100-degree summers, and sudden fall cold snaps, and you get the exact conditions that crack clay liners and separate mortar joints. We see it in neighborhoods like Hackberry Creek, University Park-adjacent streets, and the older blocks near the Dallas Country Club: hairline flue cracks that go unnoticed until a chimney inspection reveals them.
The flat, clay-heavy terrain around Highland Park also means standing water is a real factor. Foundations shift by fractions of an inch over decades, and chimneys, being the tallest structural element, show the movement first. A leaning flue or a gap at the roofline isn’t cosmetic; it’s a path for water, smoke, and eventually carbon monoxide. Our crews treat every Highland Park job as a structure problem first and a cleanliness problem second, which is why we don’t quote a sweep without looking at the stack itself.
Our Main Highland Park Services
Highland Park homeowners call us most often for two things: a Chimney Sweep in Highland Park before burning season, and a Chimney Inspection in Highland Park after a real estate transaction or a bad storm. Repairs follow from what the inspection finds.
Chimney Sweep in Highland Park
A Chimney Sweep in Highland Park removes creosote, soot, and any debris that has settled in the flue since the last burn. In Highland Park, where many homes still burn wood in masonry fireplaces, we expect to find between a quarter inch and a half inch of creosote buildup after a single season. Our sweep runs brushes sized to the flue, vacuums the firebox and smoke shelf, and leaves the hearth area covered and clean. Every sweep includes a written report before we pack up.
Chimney Inspection in Highland Park
A Chimney Inspection in Highland Park documents the liner, crown, flashing, and firebox with a camera, so you’re never taking a technician’s word for a problem you can’t see. Older Highland Park homes often show cracked terra-cotta liners or missing crown mortar, and the camera gives you the proof in real time. We provide the photo report with the inspection and walk you through what it shows, line by line, before any repair is recommended.
Chimney Repair in Highland Park
Chimney Repair in Highland Park covers everything from crown recasting to flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). Highland Park’s older chimneys frequently need liner repair after years of thermal cycling and North Texas humidity. Every repair we perform carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year, with a free return visit if a covered repair fails within that period. That’s the Garrison Standard in writing, every time.

A two-story chimney with a steep roof pitch takes longer to set up safely, and a flue that needs full relining rather than a patch will land on the higher end of the range above. Every Highland Park job gets a written price before any work starts, and that number is the number on the invoice. No add-ons, no surprise line items.
