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.

AfterFast, Reliable Fireplace Services Across Greenwood Village
Fireplace services in Greenwood Village typically run $195-$485 depending on whether you need a gas fireplace tune-up, wood-burning system sweep, or masonry repair, and most appointments are scheduled within 3-5 business days. Our Fireplace Services team dispatches to Greenwood Village from our Denver office, with crews that know the difference between a Sundance Hills estate built in 1985 and a newer infill near Belleview Avenue. Call (720) 439-4666 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been in enough Greenwood Village living rooms to know the pattern: a beautiful great-room hearth with a gas log insert installed sometime in the 2000s, the original masonry flue never inspected since, and a decorative exterior patio fireplace that’s never had a cap or a Chimney Repair in Greenwood Village sweep. These homes were built as status properties - multiple fireplaces were expected, not optional - and that multi-flue reality changes what “annual service” actually means. We treat every flue as its own system because it is.

Why Level Two Chimney Littleton Is Greenwood Village’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Greenwood Village homeowners don’t hire us because we’re charming. They hire us because we show them what their chimney actually looks like, name a price in writing before we touch anything, and leave a documented photo record they can forward to their insurer or home inspector. That’s Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, and we’ve done it on every one of the 38,000+ chimneys we’ve inspected since 2009.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name - you’ll get a text when yours is en route, per the Haven Standard’s “Arrive on schedule” and “Verified crews” commitments. We don’t do voicemail roulette; a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day. And if you’re staring at a competitor’s written estimate and wondering whether you really need a full liner replacement, bring it to us. Our Free Second Opinion policy means we’ll camera-scan the flue and tell you what we see, not what we’d like to sell you.
Dispatch and scheduling for Fireplace Services in Greenwood Village are coordinated from our Denver office, but the crews serving you are local to the south-metro corridor. They know that a home on Orchard Road faces different wind exposure than one tucked into Greenwood Hills, and they know which 1980s developments used clay flue liners that are hitting their failure window now.
Our Fireplace Services in Greenwood Village
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplace service in Greenwood Village runs $195-$295 for a standard tune-up and safety inspection. We clean the burner assembly, check gas pressure and valve operation, inspect the venting system, and verify the thermocouple and pilot assembly. But here’s what separates a Level Two visit from a basic “gas guy” service: we also run a camera down the original masonry flue that the gas logs vent into. In Greenwood Village’s converted wood-burning systems, that flue still collects moisture, deteriorating mortar, and occasionally debris from a failed cap. The gas conversion didn’t retire the chimney - it just changed what flows through it. We document the flue condition with photos and include it in your written report.
Wood Burning Fireplace
A full wood-burning fireplace sweep and Level 2 inspection in Greenwood Village costs $285-$385. We remove Class I, II, or III creosote deposits (the hard, glazed, or tar-like buildup that fuels chimney fires), inspect the firebox for spalling brick or cracked refractory panels, and camera-scan the flue liner for gaps, deterioration, or misalignment. At Greenwood Village’s 5,700-foot elevation, Chinook winds can reverse draft without warning - a fireplace that draws perfectly on a calm Tuesday can backdraft smoke and carbon monoxide into your great room during a sudden downslope event. We test draft performance under normal conditions and note any structural factors - chimney height, surrounding rooflines, nearby trees - that could exacerbate the problem when the wind shifts.
Fireplace Insert
Insert installation or service in Greenwood Village ranges from $2,800-$4,500 for a typical wood-burning insert with liner retrofit, or $195-$295 for service on an existing gas insert. Many Greenwood Village homes received gas log inserts in the 1990s and 2000s as a “cleaner” alternative to wood, but the installation quality varies enormously. We’ve found inserts venting into unlined masonry flues, connectors rusted through from condensation, and original clay liners cracked by decades of thermal cycling. Our insert service includes a full NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the entire venting system, not just the appliance itself. If you’re considering a new insert, we specify DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney liner systems sized precisely to your insert’s BTU output and your chimney’s interior dimensions - no guesswork, no “should be fine.”
Damper Repair
Damper repair or replacement in Greenwood Village typically costs $245-$485 depending on access and whether we can rebuild the existing throat damper or need to install a top-sealing energy-efficient model. In the large masonry fireplaces common to Greenwood Hills and Sundance Hills homes, original throat dampers are often rusted frozen open or closed after 30+ years of moisture exposure. A stuck-open damper bleeds heated air up the flue all winter; stuck closed, it traps smoke and CO in the room. We inspect the damper mechanism, the smoke chamber above it, and the flue liner condition as an integrated system - because a new damper on a deteriorating flue is a partial fix at best.
Firebox Repair
Firebox repair in Greenwood Village starts at $485 for minor refractory panel replacement and ranges to $2,200+ for structural rebuild of spalled masonry. The sharp freeze-thaw cycling at this elevation aggressively attacks mortar joints and firebrick, especially in exterior-facing fireboxes or patio hearths that lack proper weather protection. We use HeatShield refractory restoration systems where appropriate, or remove and rebuild with matching firebrick when the damage is structural. Every firebox repair includes a written scope, written price, and written warranty under the Haven Standard - and a camera inspection of the flue above it, because firebox damage often signals problems higher in the stack.
Fireplace Conversion
Wood-to-gas or gas-to-wood conversion in Greenwood Village runs $1,800-$4,500 depending on appliance selection, liner requirements, and gas line routing. We don’t perform conversions without a full Level 2 inspection first - we need to know your flue liner’s condition, your chimney’s clearance to combustibles, and whether your existing firebox can safely contain the new appliance’s output. In neighborhoods like The Preserve or Cherry Hills Village-adjacent areas of Greenwood Village, we’ve seen multiple conversions where the original wood-burning flue was never properly evaluated for gas-venting condensation patterns. That evaluation is non-negotiable in our process. Written price before work starts. Always.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Greenwood Village
We stock parts and materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney - sourced through Haven’s buying network specifically to keep customer prices honest. For Greenwood Village homeowners, that means faster turnaround on repairs without waiting for special orders from out of state. A cracked refractory panel, a rusted damper assembly, or a failed chimney cap - we typically have the replacement on the truck or available next-day from Denver inventory. We don’t markup parts 300% and hope you won’t check. Our written estimate breaks out labor and materials separately, and we source from manufacturers we trust because we’ve installed enough of their products to know how they perform at 5,700 feet with Front Range temperature swings.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Greenwood Village Homes
- Gas conversion, forgotten flue. Homeowners with 1990s-2000s gas log inserts routinely assume the masonry flue was “retired” with the wood burner. It wasn’t. The original clay liner still collects moisture, debris, and deteriorating mortar while the gas appliance vents through it. We camera-scan these flues and regularly find conditions that would surprise the homeowner - because no one told them annual service still applied.
- The invisible exterior hearth. Many Greenwood Village properties have both an interior great-room fireplace and a decorative exterior patio hearth. The outdoor unit is almost never capped, swept, or inspected. We consistently find nesting debris, undetected creosote buildup, and spalling crowns on these “decorative” stacks - fire risks and animal entry points that competitors focused only on interior systems completely miss.
- Chinook draft reversal. At roughly 5,700 feet in Front Range Chinook country, sudden downslope wind events can reverse chimney draft without warning. A fireplace that performs fine on calm days can backdraft smoke and CO when the wind hits. This isn’t a “chimney problem” in the traditional sense - it’s a local climate interaction that lower-elevation metro homes rarely experience. We evaluate draft dynamics as part of every inspection and note structural mitigations when indicated.
- Freeze-thaw spalling on crowns and mortar. Greenwood Village’s semi-arid climate produces sharp winter freeze-thaw cycles that aggressively attack exposed masonry. Crown cracks, deteriorated mortar joints, and spalling brick are routine findings on 1970s-1990s homes that haven’t had annual inspections. Caught early, crown sealing or tuckpointing is a few hundred dollars. Ignored until water reaches the smoke chamber and firebox, the repair runs to thousands.

FAQs - Fireplace Services in Greenwood Village
Yes. The gas logs vent through your original masonry flue, which still accumulates moisture, debris, and deteriorating mortar. Annual inspection with camera documentation catches conditions that gas appliances alone cannot reveal. Call (720) 439-4666 to schedule; a Level 2 inspection with photo record runs $195-$295.
Chinook downslope winds at Greenwood Village’s 5,700-foot elevation can reverse chimney draft without warning - a failure mode rare in lower-elevation Denver-metro homes. We evaluate your chimney height, surrounding rooflines, and draft performance to identify structural mitigations. Schedule an inspection at (720) 439-4666 and we’ll test draft dynamics and document our findings with photos.
We service both, and we specifically look for the exterior unit because it’s almost always the neglected one. No cap, no sweep, no inspection since construction - that’s the pattern we find in Sundance Hills, Greenwood Hills, and throughout the city. These “decorative” hearths need the same annual service as interior systems. Call (720) 439-4666 to book a multi-flue inspection.
You don’t - not without a camera inspection. Class III creosote (hard, glazed, or tar-like buildup) is the fuel for chimney fires and cannot be assessed from the firebox opening. Our Level 2 inspection includes a full flue scan with photo documentation under Haven Standard Clause 4. If we find Class II or III buildup, we’ll show you the images and quote a sweep in writing before starting. Call (720) 439-4666.
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of accessible portions - adequate for a single, well-maintained appliance under unchanged conditions. A Level 2 inspection, which we perform as standard, includes camera-scanning of every flue interior, inspection of attics and crawl spaces where chimney structure is visible, and documentation of all findings with photos. For Greenwood Village’s typical multi-fireplace executive home, Level 2 is the only inspection that actually evaluates all your systems. We include it on every visit at no extra charge. Call (720) 439-4666 to schedule.
