Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Garland, TX
Chimney repair in Garland is mostly about mid-century masonry that has been working hard for fifty years or more. The city is full of 1950s to 1970s single-story brick ranches with original fireplaces and clay flue tile, and plenty of Garland homeowners actually burn wood, including pecan, oak, and mesquite that comes down in their own yards. That combination means cracked tile, spalled mortar, and missing caps show up here far more often than in newer suburbs where the firebox is mostly decorative. We handle the repair work that keeps those chimneys safe to use. Call (855) 974-6812 when you want someone to look at yours.
Why Garland Homes Are Different
Walk through the older blocks near the downtown square or along the Duck Creek corridor and you can read the era of a house from the roofline. Most of Garland’s housing went up between the 1950s and 1970s, single-story brick with a masonry fireplace as a standard builder feature. Those fireplaces were built to burn real wood, and they still do. The clay flue tiles inside them have been through decades of heating and cooling, and North Texas gives masonry a hard time: summers that bake an exposed crown, then hard freezes that work water into every hairline crack. That freeze-thaw cycle is what turns a small flaw into spalled brick and loose mortar.
Garland’s mature pecan and live oak canopy adds another layer. Spring storms drop limbs, and a lot of homeowners season that wood and burn it, which means greener fuel and heavier creosote than you’d see in a new-build town. Original chimneys here frequently went up without a cap, so rain, swifts, and squirrels all get an open door. Chimney swifts nest in dormant summer flues, and squirrels cache pecans on top of damper shelves. None of that is unusual in Garland. It’s just what a fifty-year-old working chimney collects.

Our Main Garland Services
Two jobs come up again and again when Garland homeowners call us, and both are handled by the same crew that diagnoses them.
Chimney Sweep in Garland
Sweeping in Garland is mostly creosote removal from fireplaces that see real cordwood, not a quick look at a gas log set. The pecan and oak that come down in neighborhood storms season into fuel with a higher moisture content than kiln-dried wood, and that builds glaze on the flue walls faster. We brush the flue, clear the firebox and smoke shelf, and pull out whatever wildlife left behind over the summer. Because we also repair, anything the brush uncovers gets explained on the spot rather than written into a report and forgotten. Book a chimney sweep and you’ll know exactly what shape the flue is in before you light the first fire of the season.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garland
The dryer exhaust is the other venting system in a Garland home that quietly loads up with fuel, and in older houses it’s often the one nobody has looked at since the appliance was installed. Lint packs the duct, airflow drops, and the dryer runs hotter and longer than it should. Mid-century homes sometimes vent through a long run to an exterior wall or up through the roof, which gives lint more places to collect. We clear the full run and confirm the damper flap opens and closes as it should. Pair it with a sweep and both fire hazards in the house get handled in one visit. See our dryer vent cleaning page for the details.
Chimney Repair in Garland
Chimney repair in Garland usually starts with the clay flue tiles and the crown above them. Fifty years of hot summers and hard freezes crack the mortar joints between tiles and spall the exposed concrete cap, and once water gets in, the damage works downward through the chimney. We diagnose that with a camera and fix it with trade-grade materials, which is what separates a repair from a patch. Our Chimney Repair work covers the full system, from the cap on top to the firebox below.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A missing or rusted-out cap, water staining on the firebox walls, or birds and squirrels getting into the flue during the warm months all point to a cap that needs replacing.
What it costs in Garland
Cap replacement typically runs $250 to $650 depending on the flue size and the style of cap, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We measure the flue, pull the old cap and any failed sealant, set a new stainless or copper cap sized to the tile, and anchor it so it sheds water and keeps wildlife out.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Cracks across the concrete crown, chunks breaking loose at the edge, or water running down the flue after a rain are the usual indicators.
What it costs in Garland
Crown repair typically falls between $300 and $800, while a full crown rebuild runs higher, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We chip out the failed concrete, re-form the crown with the proper overhang and slope away from the flue, and seal the joint where the crown meets the tile so water runs off instead of in.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Garland

|---|---|
| Chimney cap replacement | $250 – $650 |
| Chimney crown repair | $300 – $800 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
Do I really need a new liner in Garland?
Only if the camera shows cracked or missing clay tiles. In Garland’s older masonry chimneys that happens often, and a cracked flue lets heat and carbon monoxide reach the framing. If the tiles are sound, we’ll tell you so and skip the liner. Call (855) 974-6812 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
How much does chimney repair cost in Garland?
Most Garland repairs land between $250 for a cap and $4,500 for a full liner, with crown and flashing work in the middle. The written estimate you get before any work starts is the price. Call (855) 974-6812 for an exact quote; estimates are free.

Price in Garland climbs with height and access, the condition of the crown, and whether the flue needs relining versus a straightforward resurface. Older brick ranches near the Duck Creek corridor sometimes need flashing reworked where a roof has been replaced, which adds a step. Whatever the job, you get the full upfront price in writing before we start, and it doesn’t change unless you approve a change.
