We’ve been working in Little Elm since the first subdivisions went up along Eldorado Parkway, back when Paloma Creek was still half-built and Sunset Pointe was nothing but grading stakes. Russell Haines started this company in 1984, and our technicians know the difference between a 2006 D.R. Horton prefab chase and a 2015 Pulte vinyl surround without climbing the roof. That matters because Little Elm’s housing stock isn’t like Dallas or even Frisco - nearly every fireplace here was slapped in during the 2000s building boom, and those systems are aging out on a predictable schedule.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Little Elm’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
Little Elm grew from roughly 3,000 people in 2000 to over 50,000 by the early 2020s, and our trucks have been part of that traffic on FM 720 and Main Street the whole time. Homeowners here remember contractors who showed up during the boom, did sloppy work, and disappeared. We’re still here. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing with no arguing - if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s not a slogan; it’s how we’ve operated for over 42 years.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. We’ve documented cracked flue tiles in Paloma Creek chases, rusted-out Gelco caps on Eldorado Parkway homes, and factory-built fireboxes in Sunset Pointe that had never been inspected despite fifteen years of use. When we say something needs a liner or a rebuild, we show you why.
Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue, not an app. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when we say we’ll arrive, and most jobs are completed in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Little Elm
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
Most Little Elm homes with prefabricated metal fireplaces weren’t built with clay flue liners - they have thin factory-built flue pipes that corrode or separate at the seams after 10-15 years of intermittent use. A stainless steel liner from Olympia Chimney or Famco gives you a proper venting path that handles both wood and gas combustion, and it’s the right fix when the original factory flue has failed but the chase structure is still sound. In the 75068 zip code, we typically install these for $2,200-$3,400 including inspection, materials, and labor.

Flexible Liner for Tight or Offset Flues
Some of the older builds in Little Elm - the ones that went up around 2003-2007 before construction standards tightened - have offset flue joints or tight chase dimensions that won’t accept a rigid liner. A flexible DuraFlex liner navigates those offsets without dismantling the chase, which saves you the cost of a partial rebuild. We’ve run these in homes along Lakeview Drive and in the older sections near Little Elm Park where the original builder cut corners on flue alignment. Typical cost: $1,800-$2,800.

Liner Replacement for Gas Log Conversions
Here’s a pattern our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Little Elm crews flag regularly: a homeowner in Paloma Creek or Sunset Pointe installs gas logs in what was originally a wood-burning prefab, but nobody checks whether the existing flue liner is rated for gas, or whether the damper was properly locked open, or whether the chase cap still vents correctly. A gas-rated liner replacement with proper termination is $2,000-$3,200, and it’s non-negotiable if you want safe venting. Carbon monoxide doesn’t care if you “only use it for ambiance.”

Partial Rebuild of Factory-Built Fireboxes and Chases
When the firebox panels are cracked, the chase cover has rusted through, or the vinyl surround has trapped moisture against the metal frame, a liner alone won’t fix it. We rebuild with professional-grade materials - HeatShield for resurfacing deteriorated firebrick, Gelco or Famco chase covers and caps, and proper flashing to keep Lake Lewisville humidity out. A partial rebuild in Little Elm runs $2,800-$4,500 depending on how far down the chase the damage extends. We’ve done these on homes along Walker Lane and in the newer sections south of Eldorado where chase covers failed prematurely due to poor original installation.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Little Elm Homes
- Factory flue pipes separating at the seams. The thin metal flue in 2005-2015 prefab units wasn’t designed for decades of thermal cycling. After ten years of Little Elm’s sporadic use pattern - fired up hard during a blue norther, then sitting idle for eight months - the seams crack and leak combustion gases into the chase.
- Rusted chase covers trapping moisture. Proximity to Lake Lewisville means higher ambient humidity than inland Collin County. Cheap galvanized caps installed by tract-home builders rust through in 7-12 years, letting water run down onto the firebox and flue collar.
- Cracked refractory panels in unused fireboxes. Because Little Elm fireplaces sit cold most of the year, thermal shock hits harder when that first Arctic front arrives. Panels that looked fine in October are fractured by January, and the homeowner only notices when smoke starts backing up into the living room.
- Improper gas log conversions with original flues left in place. In lakeside communities especially, we’ve found gas log sets venting through damaged or undersized original flues, with dampers propped open by a brick or wedged shut - either way, a carbon monoxide risk that a proper liner replacement eliminates.

Liner and rebuild costs in Little Elm are generally comparable to Frisco and 10-15% lower than Dallas proper, primarily because our technicians are already routing through Collin County daily and travel time is minimal. The bigger cost driver is your home’s specific construction - a standard prefab chase in Paloma Creek is simpler to line than a complex offset in an older Corinth build.
