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 Lakewood, CO
Chimney repair in Lakewood usually starts with brick, not steel. Most of the city’s fireplaces sit inside post-war and mid-century ranch homes, and after fifty or sixty winters of freeze-thaw on a 5,500-foot plateau, crowns crack, flashing pulls loose, and mortar joints go soft. We fix what we find on the same visit instead of handing you a report and a list of other people to call. That full-service approach is why homeowners along the west side of the Denver metro call us. Reach us at (833) 749-6226.
Why Lakewood Homes Are Different
Lakewood’s housing stock runs from pre-war blocks along the Santa Fe corridor to the 1960s through 1980s tract subdivisions that fill most of the city’s interior. Those ranch and split-level homes were built around original masonry wood-burning fireplaces, with some 1970s and 1980s inserts added later. The chimneys tend to be shallow and wide rather than tall and narrow, which makes sweeping a slower, hand-scraping job with no scaffolding involved.
Then there’s the weather. The high-altitude air here is dry, and Chinook wind events pull moisture out of creosote until it bakes hard, cracks, and flakes off the flue walls. Our technicians rarely find the soft, gummy deposit common in damper climates; they find brittle black scale that puffs soot the moment a brush touches it. Winter ice damming and repeated freeze-thaw on brick crowns do the rest, which is why spalling brick and cracked crowns show up fast after a spring hailstorm or the late-April snowmelt.

Our Main Lakewood Services
Two jobs bring most Lakewood homeowners to us: the yearly sweep that keeps a fireplace safe to burn, and the dryer vent work that keeps lint from piling up where it can ignite.
Chimney Sweep in Lakewood
In Lakewood, a sweep is a scraping job more often than a brushing job. That dried, flaking creosote has to come off the flue walls by hand before anything else happens, and the wide masonry fireboxes common in the city’s ranch homes give a technician plenty of surface to work through. We run a camera and give you photos of what we found, so you can see the condition of your flue for yourself. When you book Chimney Sweep in Lakewood, you get a flat price agreed beforehand.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakewood
Lint is the fuel, and a clogged dryer duct is one of the leading causes of residential house fires. In Lakewood’s dry air, lint dries out further and builds static, so a duct run packed with it deserves attention rather than a shrug. We clear the full run from the dryer to the outside termination, check the flap, and confirm airflow. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakewood is part of our core fire-safety scope, not something we tack onto a chimney visit as an afterthought.
Chimney Repair in Lakewood
When we open up a chimney in Lakewood, we’re usually looking at masonry from the 1950s or 1960s, and that brick has been through decades of freeze-thaw on a foothills plateau. Crowns crack, flashing lifts, and mortar goes soft at the shoulders. Our Chimney Repair work is handled in-house, so the fix happens rather than getting documented and referred elsewhere. We stock professional-grade materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Copperfield, and we can resurface a damaged flue with HeatShield or reline it completely with DuraFlex flexible stainless when resurfacing won’t hold.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A crown that’s cracked, chipped, or pulling away from the flue lets meltwater run behind the brick, and you’ll often see white staining or crumbling mortar near the top after a Lakewood snowmelt.
What it costs in Lakewood
Crown repair typically runs $350 to $700, with a full crown rebuild estimated at $600 to $1,200; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We chip out the failed material, form a new crown with the proper slope away from the flue, and seal the joint so water sheds instead of soaking in.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, rusted flashing, or a gap where the metal meets the roof are the usual giveaways, and they show up more often here after hail and wind.
What it costs in Lakewood
Flashing repair typically costs $250 to $600 depending on the roof pitch and how much of the seal has failed; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We lift the existing flashing, replace the step and counter-flashing where it’s failed, and seal the seams with a roofing-grade sealant rated for the temperature swings.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Lakewood
These are typical ranges for the repair work we do most often on Lakewood masonry chimneys. Every job gets a written estimate before we start, and that estimate is the price.
| Item | Typical range in Lakewood |
|---|---|
| Chimney crown repair or rebuild | $350 to $1,200 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $250 to $600 |
| Chimney cap installation or replacement | $175 to $550 |
Will a cracked crown really let water into my chimney?
Yes. A cracked crown lets meltwater and rain run down behind the brick, where freeze-thaw widens the damage each winter. That’s why we fix crowns rather than just noting them, usually during the same visit as the sweep.
Do I need a full liner replacement, or can it be resurfaced?
It depends on what the camera shows. HeatShield resurfacing restores many damaged flues without a full replacement. When the clay is too far gone, we install a DuraFlex flexible stainless liner instead. You see the photos either way. Call (833) 749-6226 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Lakewood
We work with professional-grade components from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, along with HeatShield and DuraFlex systems for liner work. We don’t claim to keep parts sitting on a shelf; we order what the job calls for. Most material arrives quickly enough to keep a Lakewood repair on a normal schedule. You can read more about our brands and what each one covers.

Two things push a Lakewood chimney bill up: how much of the flue has to be hand-scraped because the creosote has baked onto the masonry, and how much crown or flashing damage the freeze-thaw cycles have already done. We agree a flat price before we book, so there are no surprises once the brush and the camera come out. Say plainly when work can wait, and we will.

What Lakewood Customers Say
"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
- Megan Brooks"I'd use them again. Not the cheapest option in Highlands Ranch and the first appointment got pushed by a day, but the work was clean and they stood behind it."
- Todd Ackerman"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Heather Barrett
