Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Addison
Chimney repair in Addison typically runs $280-$1,850 depending on whether you need mortar repointing, flashing replacement, or full prefabricated firebox restoration, and our Chimney Repair team completes most jobs in a single visit. We’re familiar with the corridor from Belt Line Road to Midway Road, and we understand that Addison’s concentration of 1980s and 1990s apartment and condo complexes means most chimney systems here are aging prefabricated metal units, not traditional brick masonry. If you’re noticing water stains on your ceiling near the fireplace, hearing metal expansion noises you don’t remember from last season, or seeing rust around the chimney cap, call (844) 803-1545. A live person answers every hour of every day, and we’ll give you an upfront price before any work begins.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Addison’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
We’ve been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro since 1984, and Addison’s unique building stock has kept us busy for decades. Russell Haines built this company on the principle that a craftsman explains what’s wrong in plain English, fixes it with materials that last, and stands behind the result without making the homeowner fight for it.
Addison residents don’t call us because we’re the cheapest option in the phone book. They call because their property manager at the 1989 complex off Marsh Lane recommended us after we replaced twelve deteriorated refractory panels in one week, or because their neighbor in the Midway Hollow-adjacent condos saw our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Addison inspection photos and finally understood why smoke had been backing up into their unit. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, with no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back.
Most Addison calls reach a technician within 45 minutes during business hours, and emergency calls along the Dallas North Tollway corridor are typically answered same-day. We know the difference between a Heatilator system installed in 1987 and a Heat & Glo unit from 1995, and we stock parts accordingly so you’re not waiting a week for a factory order while your fireplace sits unusable.
Our Chimney Repair Services in Addison
Mortar Repointing
True masonry chimneys are rare in Addison, but the handful of older townhome clusters near Addison Circle and along Quorum Drive do have brick structures that need Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Addison attention. When mortar joints crumble from North Texas temperature swings, moisture penetrates and freeze-thaw cycles widen the damage. A typical mortar repointing job in Addison runs $650-$1,200 for accessible single-flue systems. We grind out failed joints to proper depth, match the existing mortar composition, and finish so the repair disappears into the original wall. Done right, and we stand behind it.
Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling, where brick faces flake off from water trapped behind them, shows up after Addison’s sudden spring hailstorms or when apartment complex gutters above the chimney have been neglected for seasons. We see this most often in the few masonry structures near the Galleria-adjacent corridor. Repair involves removing damaged brick, assessing the underlying structure, and installing matching units with proper drainage. Spalling repair in Addison typically costs $480-$950 depending on height and access. Our technicians carry brick samples from multiple eras to get the visual match correct.
Chimney Waterproofing
Addison’s flat, open terrain and position on the Dallas prairie means driving rain hits chimney exteriors harder than in tree-shaded neighborhoods to the east. For the masonry chimneys that do exist here, we apply vapor-permeable sealers from professional-grade suppliers that let the structure breathe while blocking water intrusion. Waterproofing a typical Addison chimney runs $380-$650, and we include a visual inspection of the crown and flashing as part of the service. Many property management companies along Belt Line Road schedule this preventively before October cold fronts arrive.
Flashing Repair
Flashing, the metal barrier where chimney meets roof, fails most often in Addison from the thermal movement of prefabricated chase covers on metal chimney systems. When the seal separates, water follows the path of least resistance straight into wall cavities. We fabricate custom flashing from Copperfield and Famco materials on-site for precise fit, or install pre-formed components when the geometry allows. Flashing repair in Addison typically runs $320-$680. Our Chimney Cap & Crown in Addison service pairs naturally with this work when the chase top itself has rusted through.

Trusted Brands We Service in Addison
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. For prefabricated firebox repairs, we source DuraFlex liner systems and HeatShield refractory restoration products. For masonry work and metal components, we keep Copperfield and Famco flashing, caps, and dampers in stock. This matters in Addison because a 1992 Heat & Glo unit with a cracked back panel can’t wait two weeks for a parts order when a cold front is dropping to 18 degrees tonight. Our warehouse carries the common factory-built replacement components for systems installed during Addison’s 1980s and 1990s construction boom, which means most Addison customers get same-day completion instead of a return trip.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Addison Homes
- Cracked refractory panels in aging prefabricated fireboxes. The metal zero-clearance systems dominating Addison’s apartment complexes were designed for 20-25 years of service. At 35 or 40 years old, the factory-installed refractory panels develop hairline cracks that can allow heat transfer to surrounding combustibles. We replace these with HeatShield-restored or factory-new panels rated for continued safe operation.
- Rusted or missing chimney chase covers. The flat metal lids on prefabricated chimney chases corrode from North Texas humidity and temperature cycling. Water pools, rust accelerates, and eventually the cover leaks or collapses inward. We fabricate and install custom chase covers from galvanized or stainless steel, with proper cross-break design for drainage.
- Deteriorated dampers that won’t open or seal. After years of disuse in Addison’s mild winters, damper mechanisms seize or corrode. A damper that won’t open fully means smoke in your unit. One that won’t close costs you conditioned air year-round. We repair or replace with factory-matched components.
- Bird nesting and debris ignition risk after long disuse. Addison’s sudden cold fronts, like the February 2021 freeze event, send residents to light fires in systems that haven’t been inspected in one to three years. Nesting material from chimney swifts or dried leaves create immediate fire hazards. Our Level-2 camera inspection documents the condition before you strike the first match.
