We photograph every job before we start and after we finish — it keeps our work honest and gives you proof instead of promises. These are real DFW fireplaces and chimneys, exactly as our cameras found them and left them.
Every Lowes Chimney Sweep visit starts with a camera and ends with one. Documentation is how we explain repairs before we make them, how you see exactly what your money bought, and how a company earns trust one photographed project at a time — protective floor coverings and all. You'll spot those drop cloths in nearly every frame below; respecting the home is part of the work.
Each project here connects to the service behind it — from fireplace repair to camera inspections — and to the 98 DFW cities we serve. If you see your problem in a "before" photo, the "after" is one Free Online Quote away.
This factory-built firebox came to us with cracked, soot-saturated refractory panels — the replaceable liner walls that protect the metal shell behind them. We replaced the worn panels, refinished the firebox and surround with high-temperature paint, and left the system looking new and burning safe. Floor coverings stayed down from the first photo to the last.
Cracked panels in your own firebox? They're a repair, not a replacement — call (214) 225-8874 and we'll show you on camera.
This chase came down to the studs — aging structure stripped away, the flue pipe standing alone in the open frame. We rebuilt the chase from the framing up: new structure squared and secured, fresh sheathing and siding, a proper cap up top, and a clean painted finish that reads brand-new from the patio. A complete rebuild, documented at both ends.
A failing chase doesn't have to mean a failing fireplace — from chase covers to full rebuilds, call (214) 225-8874 and we'll scope yours on camera.
This crown was past patching — demolition revealed crumbling masonry and a web of rusted reinforcement wire doing more harm than good, with the flue tiles left exposed to every rain. We cleared the failed top down to sound structure, rebuilt the upper courses, formed and sealed a new crown with a proper wash to shed water, and finished with a fitted cap. From rubble and rebar to a top built for decades.
A cracked crown is the leak you haven't found yet — from crown repair to cap installation, call (214) 225-8874 before the water writes the next chapter.
Forms up, old crown out: this top was broken back to sound masonry by hand, piece by piece, before a new crown was poured inside the formwork and finished to shed water. Once cured, a stainless steel mesh cap went on over the flue — rain out, embers in, wildlife politely declined. Two repairs, one visit, decades of top-of-chimney problems retired.
The crown sheds the water; the cap stops everything else — see cap installation and camera inspections, or call (214) 225-8874 for a look at yours.
This chase told its story in two acts: weathered sheathing stripped bare on the outside, and — once opened — rot working through the framing around the flue pipe inside. We rebuilt the structure, re-sided it in lap siding with crisp corner trim, sealed every seam with fresh caulking, and matched the paint to the home so the repair disappears into the house. New top and cap finish the job.

This wide brick chimney stood open to the sky — two bare flues drinking every rain. The fix came in two stages, both photographed: first a fitted metal chase cover sealing the full top and shedding water past the brick, then a custom-fabricated low-profile cap built over it, closing the system against rain, embers, and nesting wildlife while keeping the profile clean from the yard.
Open tops don't fix themselves — between chase covers and custom cap fabrication, call (214) 225-8874 and we'll close yours properly.
