Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been answering calls from Kennedale homeowners since the late 1980s, back when the subdivisions along Kennedale Parkway and Little School Road were still going up. Russell Haines built this company on the idea that a chimney repair should last long enough that you forget who did it, not call them back next season. Our technicians are on the road daily through southeast Tarrant County, and we can usually get to a Kennedale address the same day you call. The phone is (844) 803-1545, and a live person picks up, 24 hours a day.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Kennedale’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Kennedale isn’t a market we fly into from Dallas or Fort Worth. We know the area because we’ve worked here for decades. Our technicians have repointed chimneys in the older sections near 287 Business, capped flues in the neighborhoods off Sublett Road, and rebuilt crowns in the subdivisions that went up during Kennedale’s 1990s building boom. That matters because a chimney on Blackland Prairie clay behaves differently than one on sandy loam, and we’ve seen what happens when someone treats them the same.

Our reputation in Kennedale comes from repeat customers and their neighbors. We’ve earned strong reviews from Kennedale homeowners who mention specifically that we showed up when promised, explained what was wrong without talking down to them, and left the work site clean. Response time to Kennedale is typically same-day or next-morning, because our crews are already working in Everman, Forest Hill, and Arlington. We don’t make you wait three days for a technician to drive across the metroplex.

Russell Haines still oversees every job personally. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a marketing line, it’s in writing on every invoice: if it’s not right, we come back, no arguing, no paperwork to file. After 42 years in business, we plan to be here when your chimney needs attention again, and we act accordingly.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Kennedale

Mortar Repointing

The mortar between your bricks is what holds the whole structure together, and in Kennedale it takes a beating. Our Blackland Prairie clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, and that seasonal cycling works mortar joints loose over fifteen or twenty years. We grind out the deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with color-matched, professional-grade mortar rated for North Texas temperature swings. Most repointing jobs on a standard Kennedale ranch-style chimney run $450-$850 and are completed in one day.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling, those flaking, crumbling brick faces you see, happens when moisture gets inside the brick and freezes. Kennedale’s combination of summer thunderstorms and sudden winter cold snaps, especially after dormant periods, makes this worse than in areas with more consistent weather. We remove spalled bricks, match replacements from professional-grade suppliers including Copperfield, and rebuild the affected courses. A localized spalling repair on a Kennedale home typically runs $350-$700. If the damage extends to multiple faces or structural courses, we’ll show you photos from our Level-2 camera inspection and give you a plain-English verdict on repair versus partial rebuild.

Chimney Waterproofing

Kennedale’s summer heat bakes masonry, then autumn rains hit it hard. That thermal cycling opens micro-cracks that let water into the flue system during the months your fireplace sits idle. We apply professional-grade waterproofing agents, including HeatShield resurfacing systems where the crown is compromised, that allow the masonry to breathe while repelling liquid water. A standard waterproofing treatment for a Kennedale masonry chimney runs $300-$550, and we warranty the application against failure for two years. For homes near the low-lying areas toward the Trinity River floodplain, we often recommend this as preventive maintenance before the fall burning season starts.

Flashing Repair

The metal flashing where your chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point we find in Kennedale inspections. Many of the 1990s-era homes in the subdivisions off Kennedale Parkway were built with step flashing that was never properly counter-flashed, or with galvanized steel that has corroded after twenty-five Texas summers. We fabricate and install custom flashing using professional-grade materials, sealed with high-temperature compounds that flex with roof movement. Typical flashing repair in Kennedale costs $400-$750, and we include a water-test verification before we leave. If your leak has damaged surrounding sheathing or ceiling drywall, we’ll document it with photos and explain exactly what needs attention beyond the flashing itself.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kennedale

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes, and we don’t make you wait for parts. Our trucks carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Famco, and other industry-trusted brands, which means most Kennedale repairs don’t require a second trip for materials. When a chimney needs relining or a custom cap, we fabricate from Copperfield and Gelco components sized to your specific flue. That inventory matters in a smaller city like Kennedale, where a specialty order can add a week to a job that should take an afternoon. We also handle Fireplace Services in Kennedale and Chimney Cap & Crown in Kennedale using the same professional-grade stock.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Kennedale Homes

• Crown cracks from clay soil movement. Kennedale’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts dramatically with seasonal moisture, stressing chimney crowns in ways rarely seen in sandier soils to the west. We regularly find hairline cracks in crowns that have let water into the flue liner for years undetected.
• Deteriorated terra-cotta flue tiles from post-Uri panic firing. After Winter Storm Uri hit Tarrant County in February 2021, many Kennedale homeowners lit long-dormant fireplaces without inspection. Technicians still find cracked flue tiles and corroded dampers in 1990s-era gas-log conversions that were never properly re-lined after the original installation.
• Failed mortar joints on 25-40 year old masonry. Most of Kennedale’s housing stock was built from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, and builder-grade mortar doesn’t last forever. We see significant joint deterioration in neighborhoods where homes are now approaching or past the thirty-year mark.
• Water intrusion between burning seasons. Because Kennedale fireplaces sit idle most of the year, small leaks go unnoticed until a hard freeze arrives and the homeowner discovers damp firebox walls or a rusted damper that won’t open properly.
