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 Company in Round Rock, TX
Chimney repair in Round Rock usually comes down to two things: rust and heat. The original prefab fireplaces in 1980s and 1990s subdivisions off 620 and I-35 are hitting the age where chase covers fail and refractory panels crack, while the long Central Texas summers bake glazed creosote into something a standard brush won’t touch. We’re Resolute Chimney Sweep, and we’ve served Round Rock since 2014. One call covers the sweep, the vent, and the repair. Call (877) 644-8036 when you need it done right.
Why Round Rock Homes Are Different
Round Rock’s housing stock splits into two very different chimney situations. The older half is 1980s-1990s suburban tract construction with brick veneer, slab-on-grade foundations, and prefabricated metal fireplaces that were builder-grade from day one. Those original fireboxes now have failing refractory panels, and the chase covers have spent 30 years in direct Texas sun. Water gets in, rust takes over, and the next heavy spring storm pushes it into the ceiling.
The newer half is direct-vent gas inserts in 2010s construction, many owned by families who relocated from California or the Northeast and have never had a chimney serviced. Round Rock’s long humid summers mean chimneys sit idle for eight months straight. Wasps, birds, and squirrels move into the flue. Caps rust through. And when someone finally lights a fire in November, the stage-three creosote that glazed over during the dry season is not coming out with a standard sweep. The February 2021 freeze also cracked a lot of masonry crowns across 78664, 78665, 78680, 78681, and 78682, and we still see the spalling brick from that week.

Our Main Round Rock Services
Most Round Rock homeowners reach out for one of two reasons, and we handle both:
Chimney Sweep in Round Rock
A sweep in Round Rock is rarely just a sweep. In the older Forest Creek and Meadows at Chandler Creek subdivisions, we routinely find bird and wasp nests blocking the flue by summer because the original caps have rusted through. The sweep itself removes creosote and soot, but the real value is catching the rusted chase cover or cracked refractory panel before it leaks into the house. Chimney Sweep in Round Rock covers everything our technicians do on a standard visit, including camera inspection and a flat-price quote before any repair work is recommended.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Round Rock
Dryer vents and chimneys share the same stakes: both move hot exhaust out of your home, and both become fire hazards when the path is blocked. Round Rock’s dry climate produces a lot of lint, especially in homes with long vent runs through slab foundations. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, inspect the duct for separations, and verify airflow afterward. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Round Rock is the page with exact pricing and what to expect on the visit.

Chimney Repair in Round Rock
Chimney repair in Round Rock is different from repair in, say, Georgetown or Austin because of the housing era. The 1980s and 1990s tract homes here were built with prefab fireplaces and galvanized chase covers that were never meant to last 30 years in Central Texas sun. We replace rusted chase covers, install new caps, and rebuild crowns that cracked during the February 2021 freeze. When a sweep turns up a cracked flue tile or a water-damaged firebox, we don’t hand you a phone number for someone else. Found during the sweep, fixed by us. Chimney Repair is the full service line, here’s what it looks like in Round Rock.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
There is no cap at all, or the existing cap has rust holes and you can see daylight through it from inside the firebox.
What it costs in Round Rock
New cap installation typically runs $200 – $500 in Round Rock depending on flue size and whether we need a custom bracket for an odd chase opening.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select the right cap from Olympia Chimney or Famco stock, anchor it properly to the crown or chase, and verify draft with a smoke test.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The cap has been on the chase for 15-plus years, the mesh sides are pulling away from the frame, or you hear birds inside the flue in spring.
What it costs in Round Rock
Replacing a rusted cap runs $250 – $550 in Round Rock, including removal, disposal, and a new stainless or galvanized cap sized to the flue.
How we do it
We remove the old cap intact, clean the mortar or chase surface underneath, and secure a new cap rated for the Round Rock sun exposure and bird pressure.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your chimney has cracked flue tiles, missing mortar between tiles, or the interior is so glazed with stage-three creosote that a sweep cannot restore safe clearance.
What it costs in Round Rock
Chimney liner installation in Round Rock runs $2,500 – $5,000 for most single-story prefab conversions, including the liner, insulation, and top plate.
How we do it
We spec a DuraFlex liner to the appliance and flue dimensions, run it down through the existing chase, insulate where code requires, and connect it to the appliance collar with a proper tee or boot.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You have water staining on the ceiling around the chimney chase, or the flashing has pulled away from the brick at the roofline.
What it costs in Round Rock
Flashing repair or replacement on a Round Rock chimney runs $400 – $900 depending on how much of the roofline flashing needs to be pulled and replaced.
How we do it
We cut a clean reglet into the mortar, install new step and counter flashing, and seal with a polyurethane caulk rated for Texas temperature swings.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete or mortar crown has hairline cracks, spalling chunks, or a dip in the middle where water pools instead of running off.
What it costs in Round Rock
Crown repair runs $600 – $1,200 in Round Rock for typical masonry chimneys, including full prep and a new properly sloped crown.
How we do it
We chip out the old crumbling crown, build a form with a proper slope away from the flue, pour a new crown with a bond break, and seal it.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Round Rock
| Item | Typical range in Round Rock |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $200 – $500 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $250 – $550 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $400 – $900 |
| Chimney crown repair | $600 – $1,200 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $5,000 |
Round Rock prices push toward the upper end of those ranges when we’re working on a second-story chase that needs lift access, or when the original prefab firebox has to be removed before the liner can go in.
Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be repaired?
Sometimes a liner can be repaired, not replaced. If the damage is limited to a section of cracked tile and the rest of the flue is sound, a HeatShield resurfacing treatment restores the interior without full liner replacement, and it costs about a third of a new liner. If the damage runs most of the flue or the liner has separated at the joints, replacement is the only safe option. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll camera-inspect it so you can see what we see.
How often should a chimney be swept in Round Rock?
Every year if you burn wood, even occasionally. Round Rock’s long hot summers glaze creosote in unused flues, and that hard deposit is harder to remove and more dangerous to burn under than fresh soot. Gas fireplaces need less frequent sweeping but still need an annual inspection for cap blockage and venting. Call (877) 644-8036 to schedule.
Brands We Service in Round Rock
We stock and install parts from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco because those are the lines certified chimney professionals spec, not the hardware-store substitutes. See our brands for the full list. On most Round Rock repairs we carry the common cap sizes, chase covers, and flashing components on the truck, so we can finish the job the same day we diagnose it.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Round Rock
Most chimney repairs we do in Round Rock, like cap replacement, crown repair, flashing, and liner installation, do not require a city permit because they fall under maintenance of an existing system. If a repair ever triggers a structural change that requires permitting, we’ll handle that conversation with the city. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll verify your specific situation.
If water is coming through the ceiling around a chimney chase or fireplace, we treat that as a priority and will usually get to a Round Rock home within a couple of days. A temporary cap or tarp may be possible if we can safely access the chase. Call (877) 644-8036 and describe what you’re seeing.
Some Round Rock HOAs require approval before exterior work like cap replacement or chase cover changes. We’re familiar with that process and can provide the spec sheet and installation details your HOA needs. In most cases the work is approved as maintenance, not modification. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll walk you through it.

What Round Rock Customers Say
"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
— Rana Khalil"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
— Scott Fletcher"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
— Beatriz Guzman
