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.

Englewood’s older housing stock - bungalows and ranches from the 1940s through the 1960s concentrated around Old Englewood near Belleview and Federal - presents chimney problems newer suburbs simply don’t face at the same scale. Original clay-tile liners, single-wythe brick construction, and decades of Front Range freeze-thaw cycling mean we routinely find spalled brick, cracked crowns, and deteriorated flue tiles that require more than a standard sweep. Chimney Cap & Crown work and Chimney Liner & Rebuild are the two services we perform most often here after the initial inspection.
Why Englewood Homes Are Different
Englewood sits at roughly 5,300 feet, high enough on the Front Range that Chinook wind events drive temperature swings of 40°F or more within hours. That rapid saturation and refreeze cracks mortar joints and flue tiles faster than lower-elevation neighbors experience. Snow loads on flat chimney crowns melt quickly in these warm spells, then refreeze overnight - a cycle that produces crown cracking and brick spalling every spring.
The housing density matters too. Old Englewood’s post-WWII bungalows were built with unlined or clay-tile masonry chimneys that now carry sixty to eighty years of wear. Many were never retrofitted with stainless steel liners, and the original single-wythe brick construction offers little redundancy once mortar begins to fail. We also see a unique scheduling pattern here: calls spike immediately after Regional Air Quality Council wood-burning curtailment advisories lift, as homeowners rush to use brief legal-burn windows with chimneys they haven’t inspected since the previous winter.

AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Englewood
Englewood’s flat chimney crowns take direct snow load and Chinook-driven rapid melt-refreeze cycles that crack concrete and let water into the chase. Cap and crown work here is preventive maintenance that becomes structural repair fast - we see more crown failures in Old Englewood’s 1950s ranches than in comparable Denver neighborhoods at lower elevation. Chimney Cap & Crown service covers the full range of protection and repair options.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the crown surface, water staining on interior firebox walls, or pieces of concrete found in the fireplace after winter.
What it costs in Englewood
Crown repair typically runs $450-$850 depending on crack extent and whether the crown is poured concrete or precast.
How we do it
We grind out cracked sections, apply bonding agent, and pour new crown mix with a minimum 2-inch overhang and drip edge.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Water entry during storms, bird or squirrel nesting in the flue, or rust streaks on the chimney exterior from a missing or damaged cap.
What it costs in Englewood
Standard stainless steel cap installation runs $280-$550; multi-flue custom caps for larger Englewood homes range $650-$1,200.
How we do it
We measure flue dimensions on site, fabricate or source the cap from our Gelco and Olympia Chimney inventory, and secure with masonry screws and high-temp sealant.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Englewood
| Item | Typical range in Englewood |
|---|---|
| Crown repair | $450-$850 |
| Standard cap installation | $280-$550 |
| Multi-flue custom cap | $650-$1,200 |
How long does a crown repair last in Englewood’s climate?
A properly poured crown with correct overhang lasts 15-20 years even with Front Range freeze-thaw cycling. We warranty crown repair work for 5 years under the 365-Day Done Right Promise extended structure.
Can I wait until spring to fix a cracked crown?
Waiting risks water infiltration that destroys the chimney from the inside; we document crown condition with photos so you can see exactly what a season of freeze-thaw will compound. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Englewood
Original clay-tile flue liners in Englewood’s 1940s-1960s housing crack from decades of thermal shock and freeze-thaw expansion; many chimneys were built with no liner at all. A compromised liner allows heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide to reach combustible framing - the risk that makes liner inspection non-negotiable in these homes. Chimney Liner & Rebuild covers full technical specifications and warranty terms.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Cracked or missing clay tiles visible on camera inspection, smoke odors in upstairs rooms, or a home inspection flagged the chimney as unlined.
What it costs in Englewood
Stainless steel liner installation typically runs $2,800-$4,500 for a standard single-flue system in Englewood’s ranch and bungalow footprints.
How we do it
We drop a precisely measured stainless tube down the flue, insulate with ceramic blanket for UL 1777 listing, and top with a proper termination cap.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalled brick above the roofline, leaning chimney stack, or mortar so deteriorated that individual bricks can be moved by hand.
What it costs in Englewood
Partial rebuild from the roof up typically runs $3,500-$6,500 depending on height and whether the crown and cap also require replacement.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, rebuild with matching brick sourced through our Haven buying network, and install a new crown with proper slope and drip edge.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Englewood
| Item | Typical range in Englewood |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $2,800-$4,500 |
| Partial rebuild | $3,500-$6,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,500-$15,000 |
Does every old Englewood chimney need a new liner?
Not necessarily - intact clay tile in good condition can remain in service. We camera-scan every flue and show you the footage; nothing is recommended without visual evidence you can see yourself.
How disruptive is a liner installation?
Most single-day jobs with minimal interior disruption; we seal the work area and clean thoroughly after. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
