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 Fireplace Services for Frisco Homeowners
Our Fireplace Services in Frisco typically cost between $180 for basic maintenance and $2,800 for major repairs like firebox rebuilds, with most gas fireplace tune-ups and damper repairs completed in a single visit. Level Two Chimney Frisco has inspected and serviced more than 38,000 fireplaces and chimney systems since 2009, and every job starts with a written price before work begins, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (940) 290-7230 to speak with a live person, 24 hours a day, and we’ll assign a named, background-checked technician who texts when they’re on the way.
Frisco’s rapid growth since 2015 means tens of thousands of newer homes with gas log sets, fireplace inserts, and factory-built units that need annual service, plus older homes in neighborhoods like Frisco Square and The Trails with masonry fireplaces showing their age. We’ve worked on both. The clay soils and seasonal temperature swings in Collin County cause expansion and contraction that cracks firebox refractory panels and loosens gas connections over time. Our camera-scan inspection, included on every visit under Haven Standard Clause 4, shows you exactly what we found and what it costs to fix, with photos you can reference for insurance or resale.

What Our Fireplace Services Include
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplace service covers the burner assembly, pilot system, thermocouple, gas valve, and venting integrity. In Frisco, we regularly find spider webs in the orifice after spring, failed thermopiles that won’t hold the pilot through a cold snap, and venting issues in direct-vent units installed during the 2015-2020 building boom. Our technicians clean the burner ports, test gas pressure with a manometer, inspect the glass gasket and safety barrier, and run a combustion analysis to confirm CO levels are within manufacturer spec. Every gas service ends with a written condition report and photo documentation under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Wood Burning Fireplace
Wood burning fireplace service addresses creosote accumulation, firebox deterioration, and draft performance. Frisco’s mature neighborhoods like Stonebriar and Preston Vineyards have masonry fireplaces that may have been used heavily during the 2021 winter storm and then neglected; we find cracked throat dampers, deteriorated smoke chamber parging, and Class III glazed creosote that restricts draft and increases chimney fire risk. Our service includes a Level 2 camera inspection of the flue, measurement of creosote deposits, and evaluation of the firebox refractory panels for spalling or cracking. We tell you what can wait and what can’t, with the photos to back it up.
Fireplace Insert
Fireplace insert service focuses on the unit’s specific venting requirements, which differ significantly from open masonry fireplaces. Inserts in Frisco homes, particularly models installed in the 2015-2020 range, often have flexible stainless liner connections that work loose from thermal cycling or improper original installation. We inspect the liner connection at the insert collar, check the surround panel seal, clean the combustion chamber and glass, and verify the blower operation and thermostat control. Because inserts are engineered systems, we reference the manufacturer’s installation manual, not guesswork, and we stock common gaskets and hardware for brands we service regularly.
Damper Repair
Damper repair restores the metal or cast-iron plate that seals the fireplace throat when not in use. In Frisco, we see corroded throat dampers in pre-2010 homes and failed top-sealing dampers with broken cables or seized motors in newer construction. A stuck-open damper wastes conditioned air year-round; a stuck-closed damper traps smoke and carbon monoxide in the home. We diagnose the mechanism, replace cables or chains, repair or replace the damper plate, and in cases of extensive throat deterioration, recommend a lock-top damper installation with a new stainless cable system. The repair scope and price are written before we start.
Firebox Repair
Firebox repair addresses the refractory panels or firebrick that contain combustion in a masonry fireplace. Thermal shock from over-firing, water infiltration from a failed crown, and simple age cause spalling, cracking, and panel displacement. In Frisco’s older homes, particularly those built before the 2000s, we find deteriorated mortar joints and shifted firebrick that expose combustible framing. We replace refractory panels with manufacturer-matched units, repoint firebrick with high-temperature refractory mortar, and when structural rebuilding is needed, we provide a written scope with material specifications from our home network. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see.
Fireplace Conversion
Fireplace conversion changes a wood-burning fireplace to gas, or upgrades an existing gas system to a more efficient direct-vent or vent-free unit. Frisco homeowners in neighborhoods like Phillips Creek Ranch and Newman Village frequently request this for convenience, air quality, or to eliminate wood storage. We evaluate the existing flue for gas venting compatibility, size the burner to the firebox volume, and install the gas line, burner, and log set or insert with proper clearances and combustion air supply. Every conversion includes a permit-ready installation diagram and manufacturer warranty registration, with materials sourced through our buying network to keep pricing honest.
Brands We Service for Fireplace Services
We’ve serviced hundreds of Heatilator, Majestic, and Superior units, the brands most commonly found in Frisco’s production homes from 2015 to 2025. We stock OEM pilot assemblies, thermocouples, and blower kits for these manufacturers, and our technicians carry the specific installation manuals for common model series, so we’re not guessing at clearances or venting requirements. For higher-end installations in custom homes around Starwood and Willow Bend, we regularly work with Town & Country, Mendota, and Regency fireplaces, including their direct-vent and linear gas models with electronic ignition systems.
We also maintain strong parts access through Olympia Chimney for venting components, Famco for termination caps and adaptors, and Gelco for damper and specialty hardware. Whether you have a builder-grade unit from 2017 or a custom masonry fireplace with a Copperfield chimney pot, we can source the right parts and provide a written price before any work starts. If you’re unsure of your fireplace brand, the rating plate is usually inside the lower louver or behind the decorative panel, and we’ll identify it during our inspection.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Fireplace Services Right Now
- Soot or creosote buildup visible on the firebox walls or damper. Heavy black deposits mean incomplete combustion and restricted airflow. In Frisco’s newer homes with airtight construction, negative pressure can worsen this by pulling makeup air down the chimney instead of letting smoke rise. We measure creosote class and thickness during our camera inspection and clean to NFPA 211 standards.
- Gas fireplace won’t stay lit or pilot keeps going out. This usually indicates a failing thermocouple or thermopile, but can also signal low gas pressure or a blocked vent. We test with a multimeter and manometer to isolate the cause, not replace parts blindly. A pilot that won’t hold is a safety issue, not just an inconvenience.
- Smoke entering the room during use, even with the damper open. Backdrafting can result from chimney height insufficient for local wind patterns, a blocked flue, or competing exhaust fans in tight homes. We diagnose with a smoke pencil and draft gauge, then recommend the right fix, whether it’s chimney extension, flue resizing, or combustion air supply.
- Cracked or crumbling firebox refractory panels. These panels are rated for specific temperatures; once cracked, they no longer protect combustible framing from radiant heat. We see this frequently in Frisco homes where homeowners burned unseasoned wood or over-fired the unit. Panel replacement is straightforward and documented with before-and-after photos.
- Damper won’t open fully or close completely. A damper that hangs open costs you on your electric bill every month in Frisco’s hot summers; one that won’t open risks smoke and CO intrusion. We inspect the mechanism, frame, and throat, then repair or replace with a written price before starting.
Our Fireplace Services Process - Step by Step
- 1
Schedule by phone with a live person. Call (940) 290-7230 any time, day or night. We’ll ask about your fireplace type, symptoms, and neighborhood to assign the right technician and estimate arrival. You’ll get a text when they’re en route with a photo and name.
- 2
Arrival and protective setup. Our technician arrives in a marked vehicle, uniformed, with license information visible. They lay drop cloths, inspect the exterior chimney and roofline from the ground, and review any prior documentation you’ve received from us or another company.
- 3
Camera-scan inspection and diagnostics. We perform an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection, running a high-resolution camera up the flue to document liner condition, creosote deposits, and obstructions. For gas units, we test pressure, voltage, and combustion with calibrated instruments. You see the footage in real time.
- 4
Written price and scope review. Before any work begins, you receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty under Haven Standard Clause 1. We explain what needs immediate attention, what can be scheduled later, and what is optional. No surprises, no pressure.
- 5
Service execution and documentation. We complete the approved work, clean the work area, and provide a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. This includes camera footage, readings, and a condition summary you can file with your home records or insurance. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job.

Several factors move these prices. Chimney height and roof pitch affect labor time in Frisco’s two-story and three-story homes common in neighborhoods like The Grove and Lawler Park. Parts availability varies by brand and model age; we source through our buying network to avoid markup. The condition of existing components, discovered during camera inspection, may reveal needed repairs that weren’t visible from the firebox. We show you everything and write the price before starting, so you decide what to approve. Our Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from another company helps you avoid overpaying for unnecessary work.
Every estimate we provide is free and includes the camera inspection. We don’t charge to look and we don’t pressure to buy. If work can safely wait until next season, we’ll say so and document why.
