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 Repair for Frisco Homeowners
Chimney repair in Frisco, TX typically costs between $350 and $4,500 depending on whether you’re addressing mortar joints, spalling brick, or a full rebuild, and most jobs are completed within one to three days. At Level Two Chimney Frisco, we’ve inspected and serviced more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and every repair starts with a camera-scan inspection and a written price before any work begins. Call us at (940) 290-7230 for a free estimate with no obligation.
Frisco’s clay soil and wide temperature swings, from summer highs above 100°F to winter freezes in the 20s, put serious stress on masonry chimneys. We’ve worked on homes from the established neighborhoods near Frisco Square to newer builds in Phillips Creek Ranch and Newman Village, and the pattern is consistent: freeze-thaw cycling opens mortar joints, clay soil movement cracks crowns, and water finds its way in. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name, with license information on every page and a text when your tech is on the way.
We don’t do flashlight inspections. Every chimney repair we quote in Frisco begins with an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection, camera down the flue, and a documented photo record included as standard under Haven Standard Clause 4. You’ll see what we see before you decide anything.
What Our Chimney Repair Service Includes
Mortar Repointing
Mortar repointing is the process of grinding out deteriorated mortar between bricks and packing fresh, matched mortar into the joints. In Frisco, we see this need most often on chimneys built before 2010, where original lime-based mortar has simply worn away from decades of thermal cycling. Our crews use Olympia Chimney-specified mortar mixes color-matched to your existing brick, and we document the depth of joint erosion with photos before and after so you can verify the work was necessary and done correctly.
Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling is when the face of a brick flakes or pops off, usually from water trapped inside freezing and expanding. Frisco’s hard freezes in January and February make this worse on chimneys with failed crowns or missing caps. We remove spalled bricks to sound substrate, source matching replacements through our Haven buying network, and rebuild the affected courses with proper weep holes and drainage. If the spalling is extensive, we’ll show you the camera footage and explain whether spot repair or partial rebuild makes more sense.
Chimney Waterproofing
Waterproofing a chimney means applying a vapor-permeable silane/siloxane sealant to the masonry so water beads and runs off without trapping moisture inside. We use Gelco’s professional-grade formulations, applied after any mortar or brick repair is complete and fully cured. In Frisco’s climate, where sudden downpours follow drought periods, this treatment typically lasts 5-7 years and is the single most cost-effective way to prevent the freeze-thaw damage that leads to repointing or rebuilds.
Flashing Repair
Flashing is the metal barrier where your chimney passes through the roof, and it’s the most common leak point we find in Frisco homes. We repair or replace step flashing, counterflashing, and cricket diverters using copper or galvanized steel from Famco, soldered at seams and sealed with high-temperature sealant. Our crews inspect the surrounding roof deck and sheathing for hidden water damage while the flashing is exposed, and we photo-document everything so there’s no question about what was found.
Chimney Rebuilding
A full or partial chimney rebuild becomes necessary when structural integrity is compromised by widespread spalling, settled foundations, or lightning strike damage. We’ve rebuilt chimneys from the roofline up in Frisco’s older neighborhoods and done partial rebuilds above the fireplace in newer construction where the original builder cut corners on crown slope or reinforcing. Every rebuild gets a poured concrete crown with proper overhang and drip edge, and materials sourced through our Haven network to keep pricing honest.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is a more precise version of repointing where we cut narrow grooves in the mortar and fill them with contrasting putty to create the appearance of fine, uniform joints. It’s often requested in Frisco’s historic districts and on custom homes where aesthetic consistency matters. We match the original joint profile and color exactly, and we do this only after confirming the chimney structure is sound, because cosmetic work on a failing chimney is money wasted.

Brands We Service for Chimney Repair
We’ve worked extensively with Gelco components, particularly their stainless steel chimney caps and waterproofing systems. Their cap designs handle the wind-driven rain we get during Frisco’s spring storm season better than most, and we stock common sizes for same-day installation when a failed cap has allowed water into the flue.
Olympia Chimney supplies the high-temperature mortar and refractory materials we use for firebox repairs and smoke chamber parging. Their products meet UL 1777 standards for liner connections, which matters when we’re rebuilding a chimney that will receive a new stainless liner.
Famco manufactures the roof flashings, vent caps, and termination fittings we specify for Frisco’s varied roof pitches, from the shallow slopes common in 1990s construction to the steep pitches in newer developments like Starwood. Their galvanized and copper products carry a 10-year warranty when installed to manufacturer spec.
Whether your chimney has Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, or any other make of component, we can source matching materials, verify compatibility, and complete the repair to code.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Chimney Repair Right Now
- White staining (efflorescence) on exterior brick means water is moving through the masonry and depositing salts as it evaporates. In Frisco, this shows up most visibly on north-facing chimney faces after our wet spring months. It’s not just cosmetic; it signals that freeze-thaw damage is already underway inside the brick.
- Chunks of brick or mortar in your yard or fireplace mean spalling or joint failure has reached an active, structural stage. We’ve found pieces of crown and brick on Frisco patios after winter cold snaps. This is past the point where waterproofing alone will help.
- Rust stains on the chimney face or fireplace surround indicate that metal components, usually the damper or a failing galvanized cap, are corroding from moisture exposure. The rust accelerates masonry deterioration and can stain permanently if not addressed.
- Water spots on your ceiling near the chimney mean flashing failure, crown cracks, or both. Frisco’s clay soil causes subtle foundation shifts that break flashing seals over time. We trace the exact entry point with water testing and camera inspection rather than guessing.
- A leaning or separated chimney is a structural emergency. Clay soil expansion and contraction in Frisco’s wet-dry cycles can undermine chimney footings. This requires immediate evaluation for stability and often involves engineering consultation before repair.

How Much Does Chimney Repair Cost in Frisco?
Here’s what chimney repair costs in Frisco based on the jobs we’ve completed over the past five years:
| Repair Type | Typical Range in Frisco | What Drives the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar repointing (partial) | $350 - $950 | Height, accessibility, mortar type match |
| Spalling brick repair (spot) | $450 - $1,200 | Number of bricks, matching difficulty |
| Chimney waterproofing | $400 - $850 | Surface area, prep work needed |
| Flashing repair | $500 - $1,500 | Linear feet, roof pitch, decking damage |
| Chimney rebuilding (partial) | $2,500 - $4,500 | Courses rebuilt, liner work, crown |
| Full chimney rebuild | $4,500 - $12,000+ | Height, materials, foundation work |
These ranges reflect actual Frisco pricing through our Haven buying network, which sources materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield specifically to keep customer prices honest. Your exact price depends on what the camera scan reveals, not on a generic square-foot formula.
Factors that increase cost: chimneys over two stories, steep roof pitches requiring specialized access, hidden water damage to roof decking or framing, and the need for custom brick matching on older homes near downtown Frisco. Factors that keep cost down: catching problems early through regular inspection, addressing waterproofing before spalling starts, and bundling multiple repairs into one visit.
We don’t do “call for a quote.” You’ll get a written price before any work starts, always, with no exceptions. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1. And if you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll give you a Free Second Opinion to compare scope and pricing directly.
