Chimney Repair Services in Denver Metropolitan

I’m excited to tell you about our chimney repair services. Maintaining your chimney is crucial for safety and efficiency in Mile High City. Let me walk you through what we offer and why we’re Denver’s go-to chimney repair experts.

Here’s an in-depth look at what we offer to keep Denver’s chimneys in top shape:

Chimney Repair Services in Denver

Chimney Crown Repair: Protect Your Home from Water Damage in StyleProtecting your chimney from water damage starts at the top. The chimney crown is critical in safeguarding your entire chimney system from the elements, especially water. We provide specialized services to keep your chimney in top shape, including:

  • Minor crack repairs: Starting at $300
  • Major crown rebuilding: Ranging from $800-$1,500
  • Crown sealing: Between $200-$400

Our expert process begins by removing damaged or deteriorated material, reshaping the crown to ensure proper watershed, and applying a durable, waterproof sealant. For homeowners in neighborhoods like Cherry Creek (80206) and Washington Park (80209), where aesthetics are critical, we ensure the repaired crown seamlessly complements the style of your home.

One recent client in Park Hill (80207) was dealing with significant water leakage caused by cracks in their crown. The moisture had started to seep into their chimney chase, causing rust and damage to the interior. Our team quickly performed crown sealing, protecting the chimney from further moisture and ensuring the home stayed beautiful and functional. Whether a minor repair or a complete rebuild, we’ve covered you!

Flue Liner Repair and Replacement: Safety and EfficiencyA damaged flue liner can create serious safety risks, from poor ventilation to potential fires. Our flue liner repair and replacement services ensure your chimney functions safely and efficiently, especially in older homes around Capitol Hill (80203) and Baker (80204), where chimneys may still have outdated materials. Our services include:

  • Clay tile flue repair: $250-$800
  • Stainless steel liner installation: $2,500-$5,000 (depends on chimney height and complexity)
  • Cast-in-place liner: $2,800-$7,000

For optimal safety, we often recommend replacing the full stainless steel liner on older chimneys, especially those with cracked or deteriorating clay tiles.

Take, for example, our recent work on Capitol Hill. Laura, a long-time resident of a beautiful Victorian home, was having trouble with her chimney’s draft, and smoke started seeping into her living room. Upon inspection, we found the clay tile liner had cracked in several places, causing a blockage. Given the age of the home, we recommended a complete stainless steel liner installation. The process was smooth, and Laura was thrilled with the results—her fireplace now functions perfectly, and she no longer has to worry about smoke or safety hazards.

Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Denver

Maintaining the integrity and appearance of your chimney is essential, especially for older homes in neighborhoods like LoDo (80202) and Five Points (80205). Our skilled masons specialize in tuckpointing and masonry repair, ensuring your chimney stays safe while preserving its historic look. Our services include:

  • Tuckpointing: $10-$25 per square foot
  • Brick replacement: $20-$40 per brick
  • Complete chimney rebuild: $4,000-$15,000

We understand the importance of matching mortar color and texture to maintain the authentic aesthetic of historic homes. We recently worked on a beautiful 1920s home in Five Points, where the chimney showed signs of wear and crumbling mortar. The homeowner, James, wanted to preserve the original look of his house. Our team performed tuckpointing, carefully matching the original mortar and replacing damaged bricks. The result? It is a restored chimney that has never aged, blending seamlessly with the rest of his home’s historic brickwork.

Chimney Cap Installation and Repair

A chimney cap is a crucial addition to your chimney system, designed to prevent water damage, debris buildup, and animal intrusion. Our expert team provides reliable chimney cap installation and repair services to ensure your home stays protected. Our services include:

  • Standard chimney cap installation: $150-$400
  • Custom copper chimney cap: $500-$1,500
  • Multi-flue cap installation: $300-$600

We recommend installing heavy-duty animal-resistant caps for homes in areas with active wildlife, like Highlands (80211) or Sloan’s Lake (80212). Recently, we worked with a family in Highlands who had issues with squirrels nesting in their chimney. We installed a durable stainless steel cap with a mesh screen to keep the critters out. Not only did it solve their problem, but it also protected the chimney from water damage, ensuring long-term durability.

which chimney service to choose?

Smoke chamber parging is a vital service that improves the draft and reduces dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney, ensuring it operates safely and efficiently. Our services include:

  • Smoke chamber parging: $1,000-$2,500
  • Chamber restoration: $2,500-$4,000

This service is essential for older homes in Congress Park (80206) and Park Hill (80207), where we frequently encounter rough, deteriorated smoke chambers. Recently, we assisted a homeowner in Park Hill, where the smoke chamber’s rough surface was causing poor draft and excessive creosote buildup. After carefully parging and smoothing the chamber, their chimney was safer and more efficient, giving them peace of mind for future fires.

Firebox Repair: We ensure your firebox is safe and efficient:

A Denver Success Story

Last month, we helped the Johnson family in the Washington Park neighborhood. They had noticed some moisture in their fireplace after a heavy rain. Upon inspection, we found their chimney crown severely cracked, allowing water to seep. We repaired the crown, installed a new chimney cap, and applied a water repellent to prevent future issues. Mrs. Johnson said, “Adam and his team were fantastic! They explained everything clearly and had our chimney fixed in no time. We feel so much safer using our fireplace now.”

The Surprise Discovery in Washington Park

Emily and David Thompson had just moved into their 1950s bungalow in Washington Park when they decided to inspect their chimney before using the fireplace. They were shocked by what we found.

“We had no idea our chimney was in such bad shape,” Emily recalled. “Adam’s team discovered that the flue liner was completely deteriorated. They explained everything clearly and installed a new stainless steel liner. We’re so grateful they caught this before we had a serious problem.”

The Thompsons also opted for a chimney cap installation to prevent future issues.

Cost of Service: $3,800 for flue liner replacement and chimney cap installation.

The Eco-Conscious Upgrade in Cherry Creek

A long-time Cherry Creek resident, Dr. Aisha Patel, contacted us about converting her wood-burning fireplace to a more environmentally friendly option.

“I loved my fireplace, but I was concerned about air quality and efficiency,” Dr. Patel explained. “Adam suggested a high-efficiency gas insert. They handled everything from the chimney inspection to the installation. Now I have a beautiful, clean-burning fireplace that I can control with a remote!”

Cost of Service: $4,200 for a chimney inspection, gas line installation, and gas insert installation.

Cost of Service: $2,800 for chimney crown repair and partial repointing.

The Andersen family has a vacation home in Genesee that they visit frequently during ski season. After noticing a smoky smell in the house, they called us for an inspection.

“We use our fireplace a lot during the winter, so we wanted to ensure everything was safe,” Lisa Andersen explained. “Adam’s team found a significant creosote buildup and some minor cracks in the firebox.
