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.

We’ve worked on chimneys from Old Englewood near Belleview and Federal to the ranch homes threading south toward Hampden Avenue. The housing stock here is specific - post-WWII bungalows and 1950s ranches with original masonry that predates modern liner standards - and that specificity matters when you’re diagnosing why smoke is backing up into the living room or why brick faces are flaking off above the roofline. Our Chimney Repair team doesn’t guess. We run a camera, show you the footage, and quote a written price before anyone picks up a trowel.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Englewood
Mortar Repointing
In Englewood’s 1940s-1960s core, we see mortar joints ground out by decades of Chinook-driven freeze-thaw cycling. Repointing removes deteriorated mortar to a proper depth and replaces it with color-matched masonry cement that bonds to the original brick. A typical repointing job on an Englewood bungalow chimney runs $1,200-$2,800. We photograph the joint depth and coverage before and after, under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling - the flaking and crumbling of brick faces - is accelerated in Englewood by the Front Range’s rapid temperature swings. Water enters the brick, freezes, expands, and pops the face off. On a chimney off South Bannock near Belleview, we recently replaced spalled brick at the crown and repointed the header course while the homeowner watched the camera footage of the interior damage that had allowed water entry. Spalling repair in Englewood typically costs $800-$2,200 depending on how many courses are affected.
Chimney Waterproofing
Englewood’s elevation at roughly 5,300 feet means snow loads on flat chimney crowns melt and refreeze faster than at lower elevations. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents that let masonry breathe while blocking liquid water entry. Waterproofing a typical Englewood chimney runs $450-$950 and includes a camera inspection of the crown and flue tile condition first - we don’t seal over active leaks.
Flashing Repair
Step flashing and counterflashing around chimney penetrations fail predictably in Englewood’s cycling climate. We remove compromised flashing, inspect the deck and framing for rot, and install new galvanized or copper flashing with a proper reglet into the masonry. Flashing repair in Englewood typically runs $650-$1,400. Every repair is photographed and included in your documented record.
Chimney Rebuilding
When spalling, mortar failure, and liner damage compound past the point of spot repair, partial or full chimney rebuilding is the only safe option. We’ve rebuilt chimneys in Englewood’s older neighborhoods where the original single-wythe stack had no liner, a cracked clay tile, or both - and where a furnace or water heater had been vented into a flue never sized for it. Rebuilding in Englewood typically runs $3,500-$8,500 depending on height, accessibility, and whether a stainless liner is required.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing in Englewood addresses the aesthetic and structural integrity of historic masonry where original lime mortar has deteriorated. We match existing mortar color and profile, particularly important in Englewood’s older neighborhoods where homeowners want repairs to blend with original character. Tuckpointing runs $1,500-$3,500 for a typical chimney.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Englewood
We source materials through Haven’s buying network to keep customer prices honest - HeatShield cerfractory foam for resurfacing damaged flues, Gelco chimney caps and accessories, and Olympia Chimney stainless steel liners and components. These aren’t upsold add-ons; they’re specified based on what the camera shows and quoted in writing before work starts. For Englewood homeowners, this means parts are stocked regionally and turnaround on standard repairs is typically within a week of approval.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Englewood Homes
- Original unlined or clay-tile flues in pre-1960 chimneys. Combustion gases eat mortar from the inside while Chinook freeze-thaw attacks from the outside. The camera shows the damage in both directions - we don’t speculate.
- Furnace or water heater vented into an improperly sized flue. Common in Old Englewood bungalows where gas appliances were added decades after construction. The flue can’t maintain draft, and third-degree creosote loads in the smoke chamber - a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide risk.
- Crown failure from snow load and rapid melt-refreeze. Once the crown cracks, water reaches the flue tile and damage compounds every winter. We see this spike in spring inspection calls across Englewood.
- Accelerated mortar joint deterioration from Chinook cycling. Englewood’s elevation and exposure create temperature swings of 40°F or more within hours. No other Denver metro suburb at lower elevation experiences this same density of freeze-thaw failure in original masonry.

FAQs - Chimney Repair in Englewood
No. An unlined masonry chimney is not code-compliant for wood-burning in Englewood or anywhere in Colorado under NFPA 211. Combustible gases and creosote make direct contact with the brick and mortar, and the chimney lacks the insulation to maintain proper flue temperatures. We see this constantly in Englewood’s 1940s-1960s stock. Our camera inspection will show you the interior condition, and if the structure is sound, we can install a DuraFlex stainless liner that makes the system safe and legal. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Englewood sits higher on the Front Range at roughly 5,300 feet, exposing original masonry to more aggressive Chinook wind events that swing temperatures 40°F or more within hours. That saturation and rapid refreeze cycle cracks mortar joints and flue tiles at a rate lower-elevation suburbs simply don’t match at the same density of older housing stock. The camera doesn’t lie - we can show you the difference between normal aging and Englewood-specific freeze-thaw damage. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Frequency of use doesn’t eliminate the structural deterioration from Englewood’s climate. A chimney with a cracked flue tile or deteriorating mortar can vent carbon monoxide into living spaces whether you burn once or fifty times per winter. The NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection is the only method that reveals hidden damage in the flue liner and smoke chamber. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documentation on every job - not as an upsell, but as the baseline for any honest assessment. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Repointing replaces deteriorated mortar joints while preserving the existing brick structure - appropriate when the brick faces are sound and the flue liner is intact or can be relined. A full rebuild removes and replaces courses of failed brick, often necessary when spalling has compromised structural integrity or when the chimney has no liner and the interior mortar is eroded beyond recovery. We determine which applies by reviewing the camera footage with you and pointing to the specific defects that justify each scope. Nothing is recommended without that evidence. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
You watch the camera footage yourself. On that 1952 ranch off South Bannock near Belleview, our tech walked the homeowner through every defect - the offset third tile, the spalled brick at the crown, the cracked mortar joints - before quoting a single repair. The Haven Standard was built specifically to eliminate the upselling that defines this trade. Written price before work starts. Camera evidence you can see. Documented photo record when done. If another company told you that you need a relining, bring us their written estimate for a Free Second Opinion. Call (720) 439-4666 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
