Why Westminster Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We’ve been sweeping chimneys across the Denver metro for over 42 years, and Westminster has been part of our route since 2014. The homeowners we serve here are not looking for the cheapest bid. They’re looking for someone who shows up when promised, explains what they found in plain English, and leaves a written report they can file away with their home records.
Our Westminster customers live in the established neighborhoods they intend to keep - places like College Hills and the older streets near City Park. They’ve owned their homes long enough to know that a contractor who cuts corners on a chimney job is a contractor you’ll be calling back, and not for good reasons. That’s why we document every inspection with photos and a written verdict, back every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing with no arguing, and answer our phones with a live person 24 hours a day.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry professional-grade materials from brands like HeatShield and Olympia Chimney. Most jobs finish in one visit. The price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Westminster
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
We remove creosote, soot, and debris from flues in Westminster’s aging ranch homes, many with original masonry fireplaces built in the 1960s and 1970s. Our rotary sweeping system adapts to clay tile liners, stainless steel, and unlined flues common in this area. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Westminster.
Chimney Repair
Cracked mortar joints, spalling brick, and deteriorated crowns are standard findings in Westminster’s post-WWII housing stock. We rebuild and repoint with materials rated for Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Westminster.
Fireplace Services
From damper repair to firebox rebuilds, we service the decorative masonry fireplaces that were never designed for heavy use but still need to function safely. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Westminster.
Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper cap keeps Westminster’s squirrels, raccoons, and nesting birds out of flues that sit unused through mild summers. We install Gelco and Famco caps with stainless steel mesh that won’t rust shut.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
When clay tile liners in Westminster’s older homes crack or shift, we install DuraFlex stainless steel liners sized to the appliance and tested for proper draft. Full rebuilds use Olympia Chimney components and follow NFPA 211 standards.

Why Westminster’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Westminster sits at roughly 5,380 feet on Colorado’s Front Range, where the semi-arid climate delivers cold, dry winters and sudden temperature swings that stress masonry. The freeze-thaw cycle here is relentless: moisture seeps into hairline cracks, expands overnight, and widens those cracks through dozens of cycles each winter. A flue that looked sound in September can show spalling brick and deteriorated mortar by March.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Westminster chimneys serve post-WWII ranch homes built between the early 1950s and mid-1970s, when fireplaces were installed as decorative amenities rather than primary heat sources. Original clay tile liners were never meant to handle modern appliance temperatures, and decades of light use mean many homeowners have no idea what condition their flue is in. When the Santa Ana winds push warm air over the Rockies and create unexpected downdrafts, smoke backs into living rooms through flues that have never been evaluated for proper draft. Westminster’s altitude also thins the air, reducing natural draft compared to sea-level performance - a factor that matters when you’re burning anything, ceremonial or otherwise, in a fireplace that was marginal to begin with.
