Chimney Repair in Irving, TX
Chimney repair in Irving typically runs $280-$1,800 depending on scope, and most repairs we complete are finished in a single visit. Our technicians know the difference between a chimney in Valley Ranch and one in south Irving before we pull up, because the housing stock and the problems it develops are genuinely different. Call (844) 803-1545 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving’s large inventory of 1960s-1980s masonry-chimney homes in south and central Irving sits on notoriously expansive North Texas black clay soils that shift foundations seasonally. That soil movement stresses chimney crowns and flue tile joints in ways that make cracked mortar, chimney-to-roofline separations, and misaligned flue tiles a near-routine finding rather than an exception. Meanwhile, Valley Ranch and Las Colinas hold a concentration of 1980s-1990s gas-log retrofits that were never paired with stainless liners or locking damper caps, leaving full-size flues open to weather and wildlife for 30-plus years.
Chimney Repair in Irving
We repair chimneys across every Irving ZIP code we cover, from original ranch homes near Irving Boulevard to townhomes off MacArthur. The work varies with what North Texas clay soils and decades of weather have done to each structure. Chimney Repair covers everything from mortar repointing to partial rebuilds, and we document every finding with photos you can see before any work begins.
Mortar Repointing
The mortar in a 1970s Irving chimney has endured nearly half a century of temperature swings, and it’s usually the first thing to fail. We grind out deteriorated joints and repoint with color-matched, professional-grade mortar rated for freeze-thaw cycling. In south Irving’s 75060 and 75061 zones, where shifting black clay opens vertical cracks through multiple courses of brick, we regularly need staged repointing rather than spot repair. Partial chimney repointing in Irving typically runs $450-$950.
Crown Repair and Waterproofing
Water is a chimney’s enemy in every climate, but Irving’s pattern of long dry spells followed by intense spring thunderstorms means masonry absorbs water suddenly. We apply breathable waterproofing agents, never hardware-store sealers that trap moisture inside. For homes in low-lying sections of 75062, we often pair waterproofing with crown resurfacing using Gelco materials. Chimney waterproofing in Irving runs $350-$650, and crown repair or rebuild runs $480-$1,100.
Do you offer emergency chimney repair in Irving?
Yes. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have smoke backing into your home, a visible chimney lean, or storm damage that has opened your flue to water, we prioritize emergency calls and dispatch as quickly as road conditions allow. Call (844) 803-1545.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Irving
Chimney cleaning and sweep in Irving typically costs $150-$350 for a standard Level 1 service, and most appointments can be scheduled within 48 hours. If you’re noticing a smoky smell when the AC runs, or it’s been more than a year since your last inspection, you’re dealing with what we see weekly in Irving homes where fireplaces sit idle for months and wildlife moves in. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep includes inspection, creosote removal, and a plain-English verdict on what we find.
Level 2 Camera Inspection
When you’re buying a home in Irving or after any chimney fire or weather event, a Level 2 inspection is required by NFPA 211 standards. We run a high-resolution camera up your flue and document every inch. In Irving’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, we regularly find chimney-to-roofline separations caused by black clay soil movement - a near-routine finding here, not an exception. A Level 2 camera inspection with sweep in Irving runs $275-$425.
Creosote and Nest Removal
Creosote builds up when wood burns incompletely, and Irving’s intermittent use pattern during brief Blue Norther cold snaps actually accelerates glazed creosote formation - the kind standard brushes won’t touch. We use professional-grade rotary systems and, when necessary, chemical treatments from Copperfield. For homes near Belt Line Road with original masonry fireplaces that haven’t seen a sweep in years, heavy glazed creosote removal runs $325-$450.
How often should Irving homeowners have their chimneys cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for all chimneys, and sweeping when creosote buildup exceeds one-eighth inch. In Irving, where many fireplaces burn only a handful of times per year, we still find blockages from nests and debris that make annual inspection essential. Call (844) 803-1545 to schedule - estimates are free.
Fireplace Services in Irving
Fireplace service in Irving typically runs $180-$650 depending on whether you need a gas-log tune-up, damper adjustment, or firebox rebuild. Our technicians complete most calls same-day or next-day across all Irving ZIP codes. The concentration of 1980s-1990s gas-log conversions in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas, often done without proper liners or damper clamps, creates a specific set of safety gaps we check on every service call. Fireplace Services cover gas and wood-burning units, inserts, and conversions.
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas often tell the same story: a conversion done in 1987 or 1993 added gas logs but skipped the stainless liner and left the damper unclamped. Thirty years later, the pilot won’t stay lit or the homeowner smells something off. We service all major brands using professional-grade components from HeatShield and Famco. A gas fireplace tune-up and safety check in Irving runs $180-$320.
Wood-Burning Fireplace Inspection
The original masonry fireplaces in central Irving’s ranch neighborhoods were built for wood burning, but decades of light use mean many haven’t had proper inspection since the first Bush administration. Creosote is often minimal, but cracked refractory panels and chimney swift nests in uncapped flues are routine. Wood-burning fireplace inspection and cleaning in Irving runs $250-$380.
Can you convert my wood fireplace to gas in Irving?
Yes. We handle wood-to-gas and gas-to-wood conversions, including necessary liner modifications and damper adjustments to meet current code. In 75038 and 75039, we frequently correct 1980s-1990s conversions that were never properly completed. Fireplace conversion in Irving typically runs $1,800-$3,200. Call (844) 803-1545 for an exact quote based on your firebox condition.

Chimney Cap & Crown in Irving
A cracked chimney crown or missing cap in Irving can turn a light winter rain into water damage behind your fireplace wall, or leave your flue open to squirrels nesting through our mild off-seasons. Most cap and crown repairs in Irving run $180-$650, and we can usually inspect and quote same-day. Chimney Cap & Crown work is where prevention pays off most clearly.
Cap Installation and Replacement
New cap installation in Irving typically costs $280-$520 for a standard single-flue stainless cap with screen. In 75062 and 75063, we often install caps on chimneys that have been open since the house was built - especially in Valley Ranch and older Las Colinas where gas-log conversions left full-size flues unprotected. Our replacements use thicker-gauge materials from Copperfield and Famco, sized with proper mounting brackets for North Texas winds.
Crown Repair
Crown repair in Irving averages $320-$580 for crack sealing and resurfacing. The expansive black clay soils beneath south and central Irving shift seasonally, and that stress transmits upward through the masonry stack. We regularly find crown cracks running from the flue tile outward on 1960s-1980s ranch homes near Irving Boulevard. Crown coating alone runs $180-$340.
Do I really need a chimney cap in Irving’s mild climate?
Yes. Irving’s mild winters mean fireplaces sit idle for eight or nine months - long enough for chimney swifts, starlings, and squirrels to build nests and for rain to enter uncapped flues. A cap is structural protection, not weatherproofing for cold climates. Installation typically runs $280-$520. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free inspection of your flue condition.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Irving
Chimney liner and rebuild work in Irving typically runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on whether you’re replacing a damaged liner or rebuilding compromised structure. We complete most jobs in a single visit with upfront pricing confirmed before work begins. The combination of original unlined masonry in south Irving’s ranches and improperly lined gas conversions in Valley Ranch makes this our most technically varied work in the city. Chimney Liner & Rebuild includes stainless and flexible liners, HeatShield resurfacing, and partial or full rebuilds.
Stainless Steel and Flexible Liner Installation
A stainless steel liner is the right choice for most Irving wood-burning fireplaces, especially original masonry units built without any liner at all. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney systems rated for the temperature cycles that Irving’s occasional hard freezes and rapid warm-ups produce. For flues misaligned by decades of soil movement - common near 183 and Belt Line - flexible liners navigate offsets without demolition. Stainless liner installation runs $2,200-$3,800; flexible liner installation runs $2,800-$4,200.
Liner Replacement and Rebuild
When existing liner has deteriorated - cracked clay tiles, corroded metal, or failed coating - full replacement is the only safe path. We perform replacements most frequently on homes where a previous owner installed builder-grade material that lasted ten or fifteen years. Our replacements use professional-grade materials from Famco and Copperfield, and we show you photos of the damage before quoting. Liner replacement runs $2,500-$4,500; partial chimney rebuild runs $3,500-$6,500.
Does your warranty cover liner and rebuild work in Irving?
Every liner and rebuild job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing - if it’s not right, we make it right with no paperwork and no arguing. Beyond that, DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless liners carry lifetime limited warranties when properly installed. Call (844) 803-1545 to schedule a camera inspection and see what your flue actually needs.

What Irving Customers Say
"Knows the trade and did not oversell me. He is not much of a talker, so if you want the detail you have to ask directly. Once I did, he was thorough about it."
- Kevin Tran"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he walked me through every photo in it."
- Carmen Delgado"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, put a camera up to show me the glazing on the flue, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Mark Bennett
