We’ve been driving to White Settlement since 1984, long before the Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base took its current name. Russell Haines started this company on the principle that a chimney repair should outlast the memory of writing the check, and that means understanding what the local soil does to local chimneys. White Settlement’s black gumbo clay doesn’t behave like soil in Dallas or even in Fort Worth proper. It swells when the Trinity River basin floods, shrinks when the Texas sun bakes it for three months straight, and that heaving motion works its way up through slab foundations into brick courses, mortar joints, and ultimately the crown that seals your flue from rain. Our Chimney Cap & Crown team knows to check plumb before we quote cap size, because a chimney that’s tilted two degrees off vertical needs a different solution than a plumb stack with simple crown deterioration.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is White Settlement’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company
Forty-two years in this region means we’ve worked on chimney crowns along Cherry Lane, replaced caps in neighborhoods off Clifford Street, and documented soil-shift damage in the original 1950s subdivisions near the base. White Settlement homeowners tend to stay put - many of you raised families in these ranch houses and now face the deferred maintenance that comes with three decades of “it looks fine from the ground.” We get that. Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No engineer-speak, no scare tactics.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every White Settlement job in writing, no arguing. If the crown coating we apply fails because we missed underlying structural movement, we come back. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and most cap and crown jobs here finish in a single visit because we stock the right materials - including caps sized for the smaller flue dimensions common in White Settlement’s 1,200-square-foot post-war builds.
Calls reach a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A real voice that knows White Settlement is in 76116 and can dispatch a truck from our Fort Worth corridor route.
Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in White Settlement
Chimney Cap Installation
New cap installation in White Settlement runs $280-$450 for a standard single-flue stainless steel unit, with multi-flue caps running $480-$720 depending on screen height and whether the chimney has shifted off plumb. We measure twice because black gumbo soil doesn’t forgive sloppy fits. A cap that sits crooked on a tilted flue leaves gaps for starlings and rain, which is exactly what you’re trying to prevent. We source our caps from Famco and Olympia Chimney - professional-grade, not the thin-gauge hardware store versions that dent in a hailstorm.
Cap Replacement
Most cap replacements we do in White Settlement involve removing a rusted-through original or a homeowner-installed unit that blew off in a spring thunderstorm. The 76116 area sits in Tarrant County’s severe weather corridor, and those storms don’t just bring rain - they bring wind that tests every fastener. We inspect the flue tile condition before mounting the new cap, because a cracked tile liner behind a shiny new cap is a fire hazard waiting for the first cold snap. Replacement typically costs $320-$520, including removal and proper disposal of the old unit.
Crown Repair
Crown repair is where White Settlement’s soil story becomes unavoidable. We’ve rebuilt crowns on Clifford Street homes where the crown crack traced directly to foundation heave, and on Cherry Lane where the entire chimney had tilted enough that water pooled on the low side and froze - yes, even in North Texas - accelerating concrete spalling. Our crown repairs start at $380 for crack sealing and minor resurfacing, and run to $680 for partial rebuilds where we pour new concrete with proper overhang and drip edge. We use CrownCoat and HeatShield materials formulated for thermal cycling, not the bagged mortar mix some handymen trowel on.
Crown Coating
For crowns with surface deterioration but sound structural integrity, our elastomeric crown coating service buys years of protection at $280-$420. This isn’t paint. It’s a flexible, breathable membrane that bridges hairline cracks and sheds water while allowing trapped moisture to escape. In White Settlement’s climate, where chimneys bake from June through September and then face sudden cold fronts, that breathability matters. We apply it only after pressure-washing and inspecting for the hidden cracks that soil movement often causes at the crown-to-brick interface.

Trusted Brands We Service in White Settlement
We stock caps, crowns, and repair materials from Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - brands that build to NFPA 211 standards, not minimum retail specs. For White Settlement’s concentrated stock of mid-century chimneys, this matters because flue dimensions from the 1950s and 1960s often don’t match modern standardized sizes. Having the right inventory on the truck means we don’t order-and-return while your flue stays open to the weather. Our relationship with these manufacturers also means warranty claims, when they rarely arise, get handled without passing paperwork headaches to you. Done right - and we stand behind it.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in White Settlement Homes
- Crown cracks following foundation heave. White Settlement’s black gumbo clay swells and shrinks with moisture, tilting chimneys and splitting concrete crowns along stress lines that run from flue edge to brick. We see this on original 1960s builds near the base more than anywhere else in Tarrant County.
- Missing or damaged caps from severe weather. Spring supercells and straight-line wind events in the 76116 corridor tear off poorly secured caps and bend lightweight screens. The cap that came with your 1972 ranch house was never meant to handle 80-mph gusts.
- Animal intrusion behind intact-looking brick. Chimney swifts and European starlings nest in open flues across White Settlement’s mature neighborhoods, and their nesting material traps moisture against clay tile liners that may already be compromised from decades of seasonal heating.
- Spalled concrete from pooled water on tilted crowns. When soil movement tilts a chimney even slightly, the crown no longer drains evenly. Water sits, seeps through micro-cracks, and freezes during those rare but hard North Texas cold snaps - popping off surface concrete in layers.
