Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterTrusted Chimney Liner & Rebuild for Frisco Homeowners
A deteriorated flue liner or compromised chimney structure in Frisco isn’t a someday problem. Gaps in the liner, spalling brick, or missing mortar joints let combustion gases escape into wall cavities and living spaces, and in Collin County’s freeze-thaw cycles, small cracks widen fast. We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, and every one started with a written price before any work began and ended with a documented photo record under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. If your fireplace smells like smoke when it’s not running, or you’ve noticed tile fragments in the firebox, call (940) 290-7230. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician with a camera rig and a written scope, not a flashlight and a guess.
What Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Service Includes
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
A stainless steel flue liner is a continuous metal tube dropped down the chimney to contain combustion gases and protect the masonry from corrosive byproducts. In Frisco, we install these when clay flue tiles have cracked from thermal shock or when a gas appliance is being converted to wood-burning and needs a liner rated for higher temperatures. Our crews use DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless products, measured to the exact flue dimension after a camera scan, and every installation includes a written warranty and the photo record required by Haven Standard Clause 4.
Flexible Liner Installation
Flexible liners are corrugated stainless tubes that navigate offset flues or chimneys with bends where rigid sections won’t pass. They’re essential in older Frisco homes built before 1990 where the chimney was framed around a fireplace insert with multiple angles. We source flexible liners through our Haven buying network to keep pricing honest, and we pressure-test every installation to confirm no leakage at joints before the final photo documentation.
Liner Replacement
Liner replacement means removing the existing damaged liner, whether clay tile, aluminum, or degraded stainless, and installing new material matched to the appliance type and fuel. We recommend replacement when camera inspection shows tile separation, holes from chimney fires, or aluminum liners that have corroded through from condensing gas appliances. We’ve completed our Chimney Liner & Rebuild in The Colony and nearby areas, and in Frisco’s Stonebriar and Phillips Creek Ranch neighborhoods, we’ve replaced dozens of liners in homes where the original builder-grade aluminum failed after 10-15 years of gas log use.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
A partial rebuild addresses the upper portion of the chimney, typically from the roofline up, where weather exposure is most severe. We also provide our Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Denton and surrounding areas. In Frisco, we see this need after hail events crack crowns or when spalling brick on the exposed stack lets water into the flue system. We rebuild with matching brick where possible, pour a new concrete crown with proper overhang and drip edge, and install a cap before documenting the completed structure with dated photos under the Haven Standard.
Full Chimney Rebuild
Full rebuilds are necessary when the chimney structure has compromised lateral stability, often from long-term water intrusion or foundation movement in the expansive clay soils common to Collin County. We dismantle the chimney to the roofline or below, rebuild with new materials, and install a properly sized liner system for the connected appliance. Every full rebuild gets a written structural scope, material specifications, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the contract.
Liner Repair
Liner repair covers localized fixes using HeatShield cerfractory sealant for minor tile gaps, or stainless steel sleeves for isolated damage in an otherwise sound liner. We only recommend repair when camera evidence shows the damage is limited and the surrounding liner is structurally sound. In Frisco’s newer construction, we’ve saved homeowners significant cost by repairing single cracked tiles rather than replacing an entire system that was otherwise functional.

Brands We Service for Chimney Liner & Rebuild
We work with Gelco and Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner systems regularly in Frisco homes, and we’ve installed hundreds of their units since 2009. Gelco’s multi-flue caps and liner components hold up well in North Texas temperature swings, and we stock common Gelco parts to avoid delays on repair calls. Olympia Chimney’s alloy selection lets us match the liner grade to the exact fuel and appliance configuration, which matters for warranty compliance and long-term performance. For chimney caps, dampers, and specialty fittings, we source from Famco and Copperfield through our Haven buying network, procuring materials specifically to keep customer prices honest rather than marking up retail.
Whether you have a Gelco system that needs inspection, an Olympia Chimney liner due for replacement, or any other make installed by a previous homeowner, we can evaluate it with a camera scan and give you a written assessment. Our technicians carry common repair parts for these brands on every truck, and if your system requires something specialized, we can typically source it within 48 hours through our supplier relationships.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Chimney Liner & Rebuild Right Now
- Tile fragments in the firebox or hearth. Pieces of clay flue tile that have fallen indicate the liner is deteriorating and may collapse further. This debris blocks proper draft and creates a fire hazard, and in Frisco’s hard water areas, the thermal cycling accelerates the damage.
- White staining or efflorescence on exterior brick. This salt deposit means moisture is moving through the masonry, dissolving minerals and carrying them to the surface. Left unchecked, the freeze-thaw cycle in Frisco winters will spall the brick face and compromise structural integrity.
- Smoke entering the room during fireplace use. Backdrafting can signal a blocked or damaged liner, improper sizing, or negative pressure from modern HVAC systems common in Frisco’s tight-construction homes. A camera inspection determines whether the issue is liner-related or requires draft correction.
- Rust stains on the chimney exterior or damper. Rust indicates water is entering through a failed crown, missing cap, or liner breach and reaching metal components. In gas-venting chimneys, condensate from an improperly sized liner causes accelerated corrosion.
- Cracked or missing mortar joints in the visible chimney stack. Open joints let water penetrate directly to the flue and surrounding framing. In Frisco’s wind-driven rain patterns, even small gaps become entry points that widen with each storm cycle.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process - Step by Step
- 1
Schedule and confirm. Call (940) 290-7230 and you’ll reach a live person, 24 hours a day. We assign a named technician to your appointment and text you when they’re en route, under the Haven Standard’s “Arrive on schedule” and “Verified crews” commitments.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection. Your technician runs a high-resolution camera the full length of the flue, documenting liner condition, joint integrity, and any obstructions or damage. You see the footage in real time, and we archive dated photos under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard.
- 3
Written diagnosis and scope. We deliver a written price, written scope of work, and written warranty before any work begins, not after the technician is already in your home. This is Haven Standard Clause 1, H.A.V.E.N. “Have it in writing.” If you have a competitor’s estimate, we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion.
- 4
Execution with documented stages. For rebuilds, we photo-document demolition, substrate condition, and each construction phase. For liner installations, we record the pre-installation flue measurement, the liner drop, and the pressure test results. Materials come from our Haven buying network, with specifications noted on your invoice.
- 5
Final inspection, documentation, and warranty. We perform a post-work camera scan to confirm proper installation, deliver your photo record and written warranty, and stamp the 365-Day Done Right Promise on your job file. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Chimney Liner & Rebuild Cost in Frisco?
A typical stainless steel liner installation in Frisco runs $2,800-$4,500 depending on flue height, diameter, and whether the chimney requires relining for wood, gas, or oil. Flexible liner installations in offset chimneys range $3,200-$5,000. Liner replacement where we must remove existing damaged material adds $400-$800 for extraction and disposal. Partial rebuilds from the roofline up typically cost $3,500-$7,000 depending on brick matching and crown complexity. Full chimney rebuilds in Frisco’s established neighborhoods like Newman Village or The Trails start around $8,000 and can reach $15,000+ for multi-flue structures with extensive water damage.
Several factors move the price: accessibility (steep roof pitches or tight side yards add labor), the need for scaffolding versus ladder work, and whether the existing liner must be extracted before new material can be installed. We avoid overcharging by specifying exactly what your job requires after camera inspection, not by padding estimates with unnecessary work. Every estimate is free, includes the full scope in writing, and comes with no obligation to proceed. If another company has given you a written quote, bring it to us for a Free Second Opinion.
