Fast, Reliable Chimney Liner & Rebuild Across Manor
Chimney liner replacement and chimney rebuild work in Manor typically runs $1,800-$4,500 depending on whether we’re dropping a stainless steel liner down a masonry flue or reconstructing fire-damaged brickwork, and most of our Manor calls are completed in a single day. We’ve been driving out to the 78653 ZIP since the early 1990s, back when FM 973 was still two lanes and the only thing east of Highway 290 was cotton fields.
Manor’s growth story is unusual in Central Texas. Entire neighborhoods like Shadowglen, Wildhorse Creek, and the subdivisions along Parsons Road went from blueprint to built-out in five or six years during the 2000s and 2010s. What that means for chimneys is a concentration of builder-grade prefabricated zero-clearance fireplaces, all installed with galvanized chase covers and thin refractory panels, all aging out at roughly the same time. We’re the crew that shows up when the chase cover has rusted through, the panel has cracked, and the homeowner, often an Austin transplant who has never owned a fireplace before, realizes something is seriously wrong. If you’re seeing water stains on your chase, smelling smoke in your living room, or hearing pieces of liner rattling down the flue, call us at (844) 803-1545. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Manor
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
For the older masonry chimneys near the original Manor townsite, pre-dating the 1980s, we install rigid and flexible stainless steel liners from Olympia Chimney and Gelco. These clay-tile flues were never built to handle modern gas appliance exhaust or the thermal cycling of today’s heating patterns. Manor’s temperature swings, especially when a blue norther drops forty degrees overnight, cause clay tiles to spall and crack. A stainless liner gives you a sealed, insulated flue path that handles those shocks without deteriorating. Typical stainless steel liner installation in Manor runs $2,200-$3,800.

Flexible Liner for Tight Flues
Some of Manor’s masonry chimneys have offset flues, sharp turns, or narrow passages where a rigid liner simply won’t pass. We use professional-grade flexible liners, properly sized and insulated, that snake through complicated flue geometry while maintaining the draft performance your appliance needs. This is common in the handful of pre-1980s homes off downtown Manor where chimneys were built before modern codes standardized flue dimensions. Flexible liner installation in Manor typically costs $1,800-$3,200.

Liner Replacement for Prefabricated Fireplaces
This is where we spend most of our time in Manor. The 2000s-2020s tract homes in Shadowglen, Wildhorse Creek, and along Parsons Road were built with factory-built fireplaces that have lightweight metal liners designed for a twenty- to thirty-year lifespan. Those liners corrode, separate at the seams, or collapse entirely. We replace these with manufacturer-approved replacement liners that restore the unit to safe operating condition. Because we work with Famco and Copperfield parts, we can often source the correct liner without the long wait times that send other companies scrambling. Liner replacement for prefab units in Manor runs $1,200-$2,400.

Partial Chimney Rebuild
When the top courses of brick have spalled, the crown has cracked through, or the firebox walls have deteriorated beyond patching, a partial rebuild is often the most cost-effective path. We rebuild from the firebox up or from the roofline up, matching existing brick where possible and pouring a proper concrete crown with correct overhang and drip edge. In Manor, we see this most often on the older masonry homes near downtown, where decades of deferred maintenance have finally caught up. Partial rebuilds in Manor typically range from $3,500-$6,500 depending on height and accessibility.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team also handles full chimney rebuilds when the structure has suffered fire damage, lightning strike, or foundational settling. We’ll assess it honestly and tell you if a rebuild is necessary or if a liner and targeted repair will solve the problem.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Rusted-through chase covers on prefabricated units. In Manor’s newer subdivisions, it’s routine to find galvanized chase covers that have corroded completely after fifteen to twenty years of Central Texas sun and rain. Water pours down the chase, rusts the metal liner, and damages the firebox below. Homeowners often don’t notice until water stains appear on the ceiling or the fireplace starts smoking into the room.
- Cracked refractory panels from thermal shock. Manor’s prefabricated fireplaces sit idle through eight or more months of heat, then face sudden heavy use when a blue norther drops temperatures fast. That thermal shock cracks the lightweight refractory panels, exposing the metal firebox to direct flame and creating a potential fire hazard. We’ve replaced panels in Shadowglen homes where the cracks were half an inch wide and the homeowners had been burning for two seasons without realizing the danger.
- Spalled clay flue liners in older masonry chimneys. The pre-1980s homes near downtown Manor have clay-tile flues that deteriorate with Central Texas temperature swings. Freeze-thaw cycles are milder here than up north, but the dramatic swings from 85 degrees to 35 degrees in a single day cause enough expansion and contraction to crack tiles and loosen mortar joints.
- Blocked flues from animal and insect nesting. Because Manor chimneys go unused for so many months, birds, wasps, and squirrels establish nests in the flue or chase. When that first cold front hits and the fireplace is lit, the blockage forces smoke and carbon monoxide back into the home. We clear these blockages and install proper chimney caps to prevent recurrence.
If you’re dealing with any of these issues, we also handle Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Manor to clear obstructions and assess liner condition, and Chimney Repair in Manor for crown, cap, and masonry work that doesn’t require full rebuild.
