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 Highland Park Homes Are Different
Highland Park’s housing stock is dominated by 1920s-1940s luxury estates in Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Georgian styles, many with two to four original masonry fireplaces sharing a single chimney structure. These century-old multi-flue systems were built with clay tile liners and lime mortar that are now past their design life, actively spalling after decades of North Texas freeze-thaw cycles.
The 1980s-1990s gas log retrofit wave created a second problem: original wood-burning flues now vent gas appliances, often without proper liners. Dallas-area winters bring hard freezes and rapid temperature swings rather than sustained cold, so fireplaces sit unused for years while moisture and animals damage the system unseen. Highland Park also maintains its own municipal building department separate from Dallas, meaning any structural chimney repair or relining requires a local permit, not a Dallas permit. Out-of-town contractors routinely miss this, leaving homeowners with unpermitted work on multi-million-dollar properties.
Our Main Highland Park Services
Highland Park homeowners call us most often for these three services:
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Highland Park
We clean and inspect century-old multi-flue chimneys with NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scans, documenting every flue condition for homes with two to four fireplaces. Our sweeps remove creosote, nests, and debris while checking for deteriorated clay tile and lime mortar spalling common in pre-1950 construction. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Highland Park includes a written price before we start and a photo record when we’re done.
Chimney Repair in Highland Park
We repair spalling brick, deteriorated mortar joints, and cracked crowns on Highland Park’s original masonry chimneys, pulling permits through the city’s own building department. Every repair quote includes camera documentation of the damage and a written scope under Haven Standard Clause 1. Chimney Repair in Highland Park is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Fireplace Services in Highland Park
We service gas log inserts retrofitted into original wood-burning fireplaces, inspect for proper venting in unlined flues, and restore firebox integrity in historic hearths. Our technicians arrive uniformed and background-checked with license number displayed. Fireplace Services in Highland Park includes the documented photo record required by Haven Standard Clause 4.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Highland Park
Highland Park’s century-old masonry chimneys were built with poured concrete or mortar crowns that crack under North Texas freeze-thaw stress, and original flue caps that rust, blow off, or never existed on multi-flue structures. Water enters through crown cracks, runs down flue walls, and destroys clay tile liners and interior smoke chambers while homeowners remain unaware until a rare fireplace use reveals the damage. Chimney Cap & Crown work here demands precise measurement of irregular flue spacing on historic chimneys and materials rated for rapid temperature swings.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the concrete crown, water stains on interior chimney walls, or pieces of crown material found in the firebox after wind events.
What it costs in Highland Park
Crown repair in Highland Park typically ranges from $650-$1,200 for crack sealing and resurfacing, while full crown replacement runs $1,800-$3,200 depending on chimney width and access.
How we do it
We grind out cracks to sound concrete, apply a bonding layer, and pour new crown mix with proper drip edge and slope, then document the repair with photos before and after under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Multi-Flue Cap
Signs you need it
Multiple unprotected flue openings, animal nesting in one flue while others vent properly, or rusted individual caps that no longer seal.
What it costs in Highland Park
Multi-flue cap installation in Highland Park ranges from $1,200-$2,400 for stainless steel models covering two to four flues, with custom sizing required for irregular historic chimney dimensions.
How we do it
We measure each flue center-to-center, fabricate or order a cap with screened sides and proper overhang, and anchor it with masonry screws or a mounting band, then photo-document the fit and seal.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Highland Park
| Item | Typical range in Highland Park |
|---|---|
| Crown crack repair / coating | $650 - $1,200 |
| Full crown replacement | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Multi-flue cap (2-4 flues) | $1,200 - $2,400 |
Can a cracked chimney crown wait until next season?
Water infiltration through crown cracks accelerates liner and smoke chamber damage year-round in Highland Park’s freeze-thaw climate, so we recommend repair before the next hard freeze. Call (972) 284-1392 for a free camera inspection and written price.
Why do Highland Park homes need multi-flue caps instead of individual caps?
Historic multi-flue chimneys here often have flues spaced too closely for individual caps, and a single multi-flue cap provides better rain protection and uniform appearance on visible rooflines. We measure and fabricate to your chimney’s exact dimensions.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Highland Park
Highland Park’s 1920s-1940s estates contain original clay tile liners now past their 50-75 year design life, cracked by thermal shock and mortar degradation, while gas log retrofits vent into flues never designed for condensing appliances. The combination of deteriorated clay and improper gas venting creates carbon monoxide risk and draft failure that a routine sweep cannot address. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work in Highland Park requires pulling permits through the city’s independent building department and documenting liner condition with camera scans before any recommendation.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Cracked or missing clay tile visible on camera inspection, flue gases condensing in the chimney, or a gas insert installed in an unlined wood-burning flue.
What it costs in Highland Park
Stainless steel liner installation in Highland Park ranges from $2,800-$4,500 for a single flue, with multi-flue estates running $5,500-$9,000 depending on height and diameter.
How we do it
We measure flue dimensions with a video scan, pull Highland Park permits, drop a corrugated or smooth-wall stainless liner with proper top connector and bottom termination, then pressure-test and photo-document the completed system.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalling brick above the roofline, leaning chimney structure, or mortar joints eroded to the point that liner sections are no longer supported.
What it costs in Highland Park
Partial chimney rebuild in Highland Park typically runs $3,500-$7,500 for above-roof restoration, with costs rising if scaffolding must clear landscaping on tight historic lots.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, salvage original brick when possible, rebuild with matching mortar and proper crown and cap, and archive photos of each stage under Haven Standard Clause 4.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Highland Park
| Item | Typical range in Highland Park |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Stainless steel liner (multi-flue) | $5,500 - $9,000 |
| Partial rebuild (above roofline) | $3,500 - $7,500 |
Does a gas log insert need its own liner?
Gas appliances vent corrosive condensate that deteriorates clay tile and mortar; NFPA 211 requires proper sizing and material for the appliance type, which usually means a dedicated flexible or rigid liner. We camera-inspect first, then quote in writing.
How long does a liner installation take in Highland Park?
Most single-flue stainless installations finish in one day; multi-flue historic chimneys may need two days plus Highland Park permit inspection scheduling. We give you a written timeline with the price before work starts.
