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 Rollingwood, TX
Chimney repair in Rollingwood, TX is driven by one recurring pattern: freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry crowns and mortar joints on mid-century fireplaces, then oak debris loads up the caps. Most homes we inspect off Rollingwood Drive were built between the 1950s and 1970s with original clay tile flues that have never been relined. When homeowners light a fire after a hard freeze like Winter Storm Uri, they discover the damage. Resolute Chimney Sweep handles the repair, the sweep, and the dryer vent – one call at (877) 644-8036 covers what Rollingwood’s housing stock actually needs.
Why Rollingwood Homes Are Different
Rollingwood’s homes are a mix of mid-century single-story ranches and newer custom two-story builds packed onto wooded hillside lots. The original fireplaces were built with clay tile flues sized for open hearths, and many of those flues have been in service since the Eisenhower administration. What makes Rollingwood different from Georgetown or Round Rock is not the number of fireplaces. It’s the combination of live oak canopy, steep lots, and rare but severe freezes. The live oaks drop catkins and leaf litter that pack into chimney caps. The hard freezes – the kind that hit in February 2021 – crack crowns and mortar because water that seeped into those hairline gaps expands when it freezes. We see it every season: a homeowner on a hillside street off Rollingwood Drive builds the first fire in three years, and smoke backs up into the living room because the cap is sealed with debris and the flue has no draw. In Rollingwood, the chimney problems are freeze-and-debris problems, not heating-season wear problems.
Permitting in Rollingwood follows Travis County and City of Austin code requirements for chimney liner installation and structural repair. If we’re installing a DuraFlex liner or rebuilding a crown, that work has to meet code, and it does. The HOA landscape here is light by comparison to some West Austin neighborhoods, but homeowners still need repair work done correctly the first time, because a second trip up a steep Rollingwood roof costs everyone time.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Rollingwood Services
Rollingwood homeowners typically call us about two things first: a chimney that hasn’t been swept in years or a dryer vent that has never been cleaned since the laundry room was remodeled. Both are combustion and exhaust safety issues, and both are covered below.
Chimney Sweep in Rollingwood
A chimney sweep in Rollingwood means more than brushing creosote. The oak canopy here means caps packed with catkins, and the freeze-thaw problem means every sweep includes a close look at crown condition and flue tile integrity. We remove the creosote and debris, inspect the full flue, and document what we find with a camera. If a crown is cracked or a liner is spalled, you’ll see it before you’re asked to pay for it. Rollingwood’s fireplace users tell us they want one thing: a sweep that leaves the chimney safe to use the night of the first freeze. Chimney Sweep in Rollingwood covers the full scope of that service.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rollingwood
Dryer vents in Rollingwood, especially in the original 1960s ranch layouts, are often long, multi-elbow runs that pass through walls and attics before exiting under a soffit. Lint builds up at every turn, and the warm, humid Austin climate makes that lint stick. A clogged dryer vent is a leading cause of residential structure fires. We clean the entire run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow, and use a camera if the run is long or suspect. Dryer vents and chimneys share the same stakes: both carry combustion byproducts out of your home. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rollingwood explains the local angles in detail.

Chimney Repair in Rollingwood
Chimney repair in Rollingwood starts with the housing facts: homes built between the 1950s and 1970s on wooded lots, original clay tile flues, and a climate that punishes neglected masonry with sudden hard freezes. A cracked crown let water in during Winter Storm Uri and the chimney has been quietly degrading since. When we repair these chimneys, we use the same professional-grade components – DuraFlex for relining, HeatShield for liner resurfacing, Copperfield for caps – that certified chimney professionals specify, not whatever is on the shelf at a hardware store. Our full Chimney Repair service covers everything below.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Oak catkins, twigs, and leaf litter accumulate around the firebox opening, or you hear birds and animals inside the flue during nesting season.
What it costs in Rollingwood
Chimney cap installation in Rollingwood runs $230 – $520 depending on the flue size and whether we’re installing a standard single-flue cap or a custom Copperfield cap with a larger mesh surface for oak debris.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select the right cap for the tile dimensions (not a one-size-fits-all fit), and mechanically fasten it at the crown so wind and squirrels don’t knock it loose.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
You can see rust, missing hardware, or a cap that’s shifted off the flue from the ground, or debris is getting past the mesh because the screen has torn.
What it costs in Rollingwood
Chimney cap replacement costs $275 – $600 in Rollingwood, with the higher end covering custom caps on oversized or multi-flue chimneys common on 1960s ranch homes.
How we do it
We remove the deteriorated cap, inspect the flue tile beneath it for freeze damage, and install a replacement sized to the exact flue dimensions – not a friction-fit universal.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A camera inspection shows cracked, spalled, or missing clay tile sections, or your chimney has no liner at all, which is common on original Rollingwood builds.
What it costs in Rollingwood
Chimney liner installation in Rollingwood costs $2,700 – $5,800, with the range set by flue height, liner material, and whether the old tile liner has to be broken out first.
How we do it
We run a camera to document the failure, then install a DuraFlex flexible liner system sized to the flue and the appliance it serves, insulated as code requires, and terminated at the top with a cap.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see cracks across the crown surface from the ground, efflorescence staining down the brick face, or a crown that has separated from the flue tile and let water run inside.
What it costs in Rollingwood
Chimney crown repair runs $675 – $1,000 in Rollingwood, with the cost driven by how much of the existing crown we can preserve versus full removal and recasting.
How we do it
We seal minor cracks or fully remove and recast the crown with a proper slope and drip edge, then treat the brick below with a breathable water repellent so one freeze doesn’t undo the work.

| Chimney cap installation | $230 – $520 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $275 – $600 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,700 – $5,800 |
| Chimney crown repair | $675 – $1,000 |
Do I need a new chimney liner after a hard freeze?
Not necessarily. A hard freeze cracks crowns and spalls brick, but the liner often survives unless it was already damaged. We camera-inspect before recommending a liner. If the video shows intact tile with no gaps, you don’t need a liner that year. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll show you the footage.
Can a cracked crown wait until next season?
A cracked crown is a five-alarm water leak in slow motion. One more freeze and the crack widens; by spring the flue tile has absorbed enough water to spall. Repairing a crown at $675 – $1,000 now beats a $2,700 liner replacement later. Call (877) 644-8036 for a free estimate.

What Rollingwood Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Eduardo Reyes"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
— Rami Haddad"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
— Emily Thompson
