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.

AfterChimney Cleaning in Greenwood Village, CO
A chimney sweep in Greenwood Village typically runs $180-$340 for a standard NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection and cleaning, with most jobs completed in 60-90 minutes and a written price delivered before we start. At this elevation, with Chinook wind events that can reverse draft without warning, the inspection matters as much as the sweep itself. Call (720) 439-4666 to book a visit with a documented photo record included.
Why Greenwood Village Homes Are Different
Greenwood Village sits at roughly 5,700 feet in Front Range Chinook country, where sudden downslope winds can flip chimney draft and push combustion gases back into living spaces - a failure mode you won’t see in lower-elevation metros. The semi-arid climate delivers sharp freeze-thaw cycles every winter that aggressively spall mortar joints and crown concrete.
The housing stock tells its own story. Most homes in Greenwood Hills and Sundance Hills were built between 1970 and 1995 as executive properties, often with two or more masonry fireplaces - great-room hearths and exterior patio hearths both. Many were converted to gas logs in the 1990s and 2000s, leaving original flues that still accumulate moisture damage and deteriorating mortar. We regularly find outdoor units that have never been swept, capped, or inspected, making them high-probability sites for nesting animals and hidden fire risk. That “gas means no maintenance” assumption costs homeowners here more than they realize.
Our Main Greenwood Village Services
Greenwood Village homeowners call us most often for these three services - each has its own dedicated local page with full pricing and scope details.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Greenwood Village
Every sweep includes an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection down the flue, a documented photo record, and a written price before any work begins. We find Class III creosote - tar-like, highly combustible buildup - more often in Greenwood Village’s older masonry systems than homeowners expect, especially where wood-burning fireplaces were later converted to gas without proper liner sizing. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Greenwood Village covers full scope and local pricing.
Chimney Repair in Greenwood Village
Freeze-thaw damage to crowns, spalling brick, and deteriorated mortar joints are the routine findings here, often uncovered during what the homeowner booked as a simple sweep. We document everything with photos, deliver a written scope and price, and back the repair with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Chimney Repair in Greenwood Village details common local jobs.
Fireplace Services in Greenwood Village
Gas log insert conversions, firebox refractory panel replacement, and smoke chamber parging - we handle the full range of fireplace-specific work in homes where the original masonry system may not match the current fuel type. A Level 2 inspection determines whether the existing flue can safely handle your setup. Fireplace Services in Greenwood Village explains what’s involved.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Greenwood Village
Chimney cap and crown work in Greenwood Village addresses a specific pattern of failure: the 1970-1995 executive homes here were built with substantial masonry chimneys that have endured forty-plus years of freeze-thaw cycling at 5,700 feet, and many crowns were poured without proper overhang or reinforcement. The semi-arid climate accelerates concrete spalling and mortar deterioration once cracks open, while Chinook wind events drive rain and snow horizontally into uncapped or poorly capped flues. Chimney Cap & Crown service covers the full range of cap and crown solutions we install.
We also consistently find that exterior patio hearth chimneys - common in Greenwood Hills and Sundance Hills estates - have never been capped at all, making them prime entry points for nesting animals and moisture intrusion that interior-focused competitors miss entirely.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the crown concrete, pieces of crown material on the roof below, or water staining on the chimney face after snowmelt.
What it costs in Greenwood Village
Crown repair typically runs $450-$850 depending on crack extent and whether the crown requires partial rebuild or full replacement.
How we do it
We grind out cracked concrete, apply a bonding agent, and pour new crown material with proper slope and drip edge, then document the repair with before-and-after photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
No cap present, rust stains running down the flue tile, or sounds of animal activity from the chimney top.
What it costs in Greenwood Village
Standard single-flue stainless cap installation runs $280-$520; multi-flue custom caps for larger Greenwood Village estates range $650-$1,200.
How we do it
We measure the flue or crown footprint, fabricate or source the correct cap from our Gelco or Olympia Chimney inventory, and secure it with proper fasteners and sealant.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Greenwood Village
| Item | Typical range in Greenwood Village |
|---|---|
| Single-flue cap installation | $280-$520 |
| Multi-flue custom cap | $650-$1,200 |
| Crown repair (cracks, partial) | $450-$850 |
| Full crown replacement | $1,100-$2,400 |
How long does a crown repair last in Greenwood Village?
A properly poured crown with correct slope and overhang lasts 15-25 years even with our freeze-thaw cycling; we warranty crown work for 365 days under our Done Right Promise and document condition at every annual inspection.
Do I need a cap if I only use gas logs?
Yes - gas flues still vent moisture and corrosive combustion byproducts, and an uncapped flue invites animal nesting that blocks the vent path entirely; we install caps sized for gas venting requirements, not one-size-fits-all hardware store units.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Greenwood Village
Chimney liner and rebuild work in Greenwood Village most often addresses the mismatch between original 1970s-1990s masonry flues and later gas log conversions, or the deterioration of terra cotta liners after decades of freeze-thaw exposure at elevation. The original builders sized these flues for wood-burning fireplaces; when homeowners switched to gas without proper liner resizing, the resulting condensation accelerates mortar and liner decay. We find cracked terra cotta, missing mortar joints, and liner sections shifted by thermal cycling - all conditions that compromise draft safety and can allow carbon monoxide into living spaces.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Cracked or flaking terra cotta liner visible on camera inspection, persistent chimney odors, or a gas conversion installed without liner inspection.
What it costs in Greenwood Village
Stainless steel liner installation runs $2,800-$4,500 for a standard single-flue system, with multi-flue estates in Greenwood Hills reaching $5,200-$7,800.
How we do it
We run a camera to map flue condition, measure precisely, and install a DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney stainless liner with proper top and bottom connections, then pressure-test and document the seal.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Significant spalling brick above the roofline, a leaning chimney stack, or mortar joints eroded to finger-width gaps.
What it costs in Greenwood Village
Partial rebuild of the upper chimney structure typically runs $3,500-$6,500 depending on height, scaffolding requirements, and brick matching.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, salvage matching brick where possible, rebuild with proper bond and flashing integration, and photograph every stage for the documented record.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Greenwood Village
| Item | Typical range in Greenwood Village |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,800-$4,500 |
| Stainless steel liner (multi-flue) | $5,200-$7,800 |
| Partial chimney rebuild | $3,500-$6,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,500-$18,000 |
Can I just use my old flue with gas logs?
Not safely - unlined or oversized masonry flues allow combustion gases to cool too quickly, causing condensation that deteriorates mortar and risks carbon monoxide intrusion; we size and install liners specifically for your appliance type and venting load.
How do I know if I need a full rebuild or just liner work?
The camera inspection reveals the difference: liner damage confined to the flue interior calls for relining, while structural compromise to the chimney shell itself requires rebuild; we show you both conditions and explain which can wait and which cannot.
