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.

Chimney cap and crown work in Evergreen runs $180-$1,800 depending on whether we’re sealing a hairline crack or replacing a multi-flue cap on a steep timber-frame roof. At 7,000 feet with freeze-thaw cycles far worse than Denver’s, Evergreen chimneys take a beating that flatland designs simply weren’t built for. We dispatch crews from our Denver office and serve Evergreen homes with the same NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection and written upfront pricing we apply everywhere under the Haven Standard. Call (720) 439-4666 for a free estimate.
Why Evergreen Homes Are Different
Evergreen sits at roughly 7,000 feet elevation in a densely forested foothills community where many homes rely on wood stoves and fireplaces as primary, not supplementary, heat sources. Pine and other softwoods available locally burn resinous and create creosote at a dramatically faster rate than hardwoods typical in lower-elevation markets. Many Evergreen chimneys accumulate dangerous third-degree glazed creosote within a single heating season and require cleaning more than once per year, a frequency that would be unusual in neighboring Denver or Golden.
The housing stock skews heavily to 1960s-1980s mountain cabins and vacation homes now used year-round, with original masonry fireplaces showing aging mortar and deteriorating crowns alongside aging prefabricated zero-clearance metal inserts that may no longer meet current Jefferson County clearance and liner standards. Newer custom log and timber-frame homes present non-standard rooflines and pitches that complicate chimney access and cap sizing. At this elevation, aggressive freeze-thaw cycling accelerates spalling and mortar joint deterioration season over season, while snowpack sitting on crowns for months worsens cracking. The heating season stretches late September through early May, so chimneys see near-constant use and deferred inspections carry compounding risk.
Jefferson County enforces mandatory no-burn air quality alert days throughout winter, but many Evergreen homes lack practical alternative heat sources. Residents burn anyway or scramble to verify EPA-certified insert exemption status. We’re frequently asked to document insert certification labels and provide written reports for county presentation, a paperwork demand virtually unheard of in flatland Denver service calls.

Every job gets a written price before work starts and a photo record after, per Haven Standard Clause 4. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Evergreen covers our full process.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Evergreen
Evergreen’s 1960s-1980s cabins and newer timber-frame homes share a common problem: chimney crowns that weren’t engineered for 7,000-foot freeze-thaw abuse and snowpack loads lasting months. We replace and repair caps and crowns across Evergreen with materials sized for non-standard pitches and documented with before-and-after photography under Haven Standard Clause 4. Chimney Cap & Crown work here demands local knowledge of foothills access challenges and Jefferson County wind exposure.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the crown surface, water staining on interior chimney walls, or pieces of concrete spalling onto the roof indicate freeze-thaw damage that will worsen through Evergreen’s long winter.
What it costs in Evergreen
Crown repair in Evergreen typically runs $350-$650 for crack sealing and resurfacing, while full crown replacement on a standard single-flue chimney ranges $800-$1,400.
How we do it
We grind out cracked material, apply a bonding agent, and pour new high-strength crown mix sloped for drainage, then document the repair with photos before we leave.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Rust holes, missing mesh, or a cap that blows off in foothills winds means your flue is open to rain, snow, and animal entry that accelerates liner deterioration.
What it costs in Evergreen
Single-flue cap replacement in Evergreen ranges $180-$350 installed; multi-flue caps or custom sizes for timber-frame chimneys run $450-$850.
How we do it
We measure the flue or chimney top, fabricate or source the correct cap from our Haven buying network, and secure it with stainless steel fasteners rated for mountain wind exposure.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Evergreen
| Item | Typical range in Evergreen |
|---|---|
| Crown crack repair / coating | $350 - $650 |
| Full crown replacement | $800 - $1,400 |
| Single-flue cap replacement | $180 - $350 |
| Multi-flue or custom cap | $450 - $850 |
How long does a crown repair last in Evergreen?
A properly poured crown with high-strength mix and proper slope typically lasts 15-20 years even in Evergreen’s severe freeze-thaw cycle, though we inspect annually during routine sweeps to catch early deterioration. Call (720) 439-4666 to schedule.
Can you match a cap to my timber-frame chimney?
Yes, we measure on-site and source custom caps through our Haven buying network for non-standard flue configurations and steep rooflines common in Evergreen’s newer log and timber homes. Written price before fabrication begins.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Evergreen
Evergreen’s aging cabin stock and converted vacation homes often contain original clay flue tiles cracked by decades of thermal cycling, or prefabricated metal inserts with liners that no longer meet Jefferson County clearance standards. We install and replace liners with camera-documented condition reports and written pricing before any work begins. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work in Evergreen frequently involves bringing 1970s installations up to current NFPA 211 requirements.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Cracked clay tiles visible on camera inspection, smoke leaking into wall cavities, or a liner rated for a smaller appliance than currently installed all require replacement.
What it costs in Evergreen
Stainless steel liner installation in Evergreen ranges $2,200-$3,800 for a standard single-flue application, with complex drops or multiple bends in timber-frame chimneys at the higher end.
How we do it
We run a camera to map the flue, drop the correctly sized DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney liner, insulate per manufacturer spec, and terminate with a proper collar and cap.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalling brick above the roofline, a leaning chimney stack, or mortar joints eroded to finger-width gaps indicate structural failure requiring rebuild, not just repair.
What it costs in Evergreen
Partial rebuilds from the roof up in Evergreen typically run $3,500-$6,500 depending on accessibility, scaffolding needs, and whether the crown and cap also require replacement.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, rebuild with matching brick or stone where possible, install proper flashing and cricket for snow-shed, and document each stage with photos.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Evergreen
| Item | Typical range in Evergreen |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,200 - $3,800 |
| Flexible liner with insulation | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Partial rebuild (roof up) | $3,500 - $6,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,000 - $15,000 |
Does my 1970s cabin need a full liner replacement?
Most original clay liners in Evergreen’s 1960s-1980s stock show thermal cracking by now; our camera inspection determines whether partial repair or full stainless replacement is necessary, and we show you the footage before quoting. Call (720) 439-4666 for a free inspection.
Can a liner wait if the chimney still drafts?
A drafting chimney with cracked tiles can still leak combustion gases into wall cavities; we document exactly what we find and flag anything that poses immediate risk, but we also tell you plainly when work can safely wait another season.

We stock and install DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney materials through our Haven buying network, with most common liner diameters and cap sizes available without special order delay.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Evergreen
We typically book Evergreen appointments within 3-5 business days, routing crews from our Denver office to minimize foothills travel time; emergency no-heat calls get priority scheduling when temperatures drop below 20°F.
Jefferson County requires permits for structural chimney rebuilds and new liner installations but not for routine sweeping, inspection, or cap replacement; we handle permit paperwork on any job requiring it and include the cost in your written quote.
Most Evergreen homes burning softwood as primary heat need sweeping twice per heating season, not annually, due to accelerated creosote buildup at elevation; we verify creosote class during each Level 2 inspection and recommend timing based on what we find.

What Evergreen Customers Say
"They ran a camera down the flue and showed me the cracked tiles on a screen. The previous company had swept it twice and never mentioned it."
- Gregory F."They told me the flue was fine and I did not need a liner. Charged me for the inspection and nothing else. That is why I have called them twice since."
- Hal M."Clean, careful, put down sheeting, and the fireplace works properly for the first time since we moved in."
- Yvette S.
