Colleyville's wooded estate lots carry some of the tallest, most elaborate masonry chimneys in Tarrant County — multi-flue stacks that reward careful maintenance and punish neglect at the mortar joints.
Colleyville never built small. From the ranch estates along Glade Road to the gated enclaves off Pleasant Run, the city’s homes were designed around real masonry — two-story stone and brick chimneys, often serving two or three flues, rising well above steep roof lines. That scale is exactly why they impress from the street and exactly why problems hide so well. A hairline mortar joint forty feet up looks like nothing from the driveway; give it a few North Texas freeze-thaw winters and it becomes a water channel running straight into the chase.
We service Colleyville stacks the way they were built: deliberately. Roof-level access, photographed findings, and repairs matched to the original materials rather than the quickest patch on the truck.
Mortar is the sacrificial part of a masonry chimney — it is supposed to wear before the brick does. Our tuckpointing and repointing service grinds out failed joints and rebuilds them with mortar matched in color and hardness, so the repair disappears into the original stack instead of striping across it.
Wide multi-flue chimneys carry wide crowns, and wide crowns crack. Crown repair on an estate stack means sealing the slab as a system — flue-to-crown joints included — with flexible coating rated for the span, not a skim of mortar that splits by February.
On chimneys this size, guessing is expensive. A roof-level chimney inspection documents what is actually failing and what is genuinely fine, so the scope you approve is the scope the stack needs. The NFPA recommends annual inspection, and on multi-flue systems it routinely pays for itself in sequencing alone.
Colleyville living rooms were built around their hearths, and the wood gets burned. An annual chimney sweep with HEPA dust control keeps creosote in check without leaving a trace on the rugs.

(214) 225-8874A homeowner in one of the wooded estates off Glade Road called about a damp smell in a downstairs study that shared a wall with the chimney. From the roof, the three-flue crown showed a long crack feeding water behind the shoulder brick, and several head joints on the weather side had eroded to half depth. We repointed the failed joints with matched mortar, sealed the crown with a flexible overlay, and water-tested the stack before leaving. The smell was gone within the month, and the owner had before-and-after photos of every joint we touched.
We respect craftsmanship. Estate masonry was expensive to build and deserves repairs of the same grade. Our technicians work to CSIA standards, are background checked, protect interiors with floor coverings and HEPA dust control, and photograph everything they find before recommending anything.
Written scopes, zero pressure. Every job starts with a Free Online Quote and ends with documentation you can file with the house. When part of the stack is healthy, the report says so — padding a scope on a Colleyville estate is a fast way to never work in Colleyville again.

Colleyville sits dead center in our northeast Tarrant routes: Southlake shares your northern border and your estate-scale masonry, Grapevine wraps the east, Keller runs the west side, and Hurst anchors the south. One crew covers the loop daily.
Height multiplies exposure. A two-story multi-flue stack catches more wind-driven rain, carries a wider crown that cracks sooner, and has more mortar joints to fail. The fix is systematic: seal the crown, repoint the weathered joints, and verify the flashing in one documented visit.
Yes. We match both color and hardness. Color keeps the repair invisible; hardness matters more — mortar harder than the original brick transfers stress into the masonry and spalls the faces. Matched repointing protects both the look and the structure.
Annually, same as any system, but multi-flue stacks earn it more: two or three appliances venting through one structure means more joints, a wider crown, and more ways for one flue's problem to reach its neighbor. One roof-level inspection covers all of them.
Both. Gas logs don't build creosote the way wood does, but their flues still collect debris, nests, and corrosion, and the venting still needs verification. Many Colleyville homes run one wood flue and one gas flue in the same stack — we service both in one visit.
Not when the mortar is matched properly. We grind joints to uniform depth, blend the mix against your existing mortar in daylight, and tool the profile to match the original mason's work. From the yard, a good repoint is invisible.

Most likely it was skimmed with rigid mortar, which cracks along the same lines every winter. A lasting crown repair uses flexible elastomeric coating that moves with the slab through freeze-thaw cycles instead of fighting it.
Not for exterior work — crowns, repointing, caps, and flashing all happen at roof level. We call before arrival, send photos of findings as we go, and walk you through everything by phone if you're out. Interior sweeps do need access to the hearth.
Usually within a day, Sundays included — the Southlake–Colleyville–Keller loop is one of our standing daily routes. Call (214) 225-8874 and we'll give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour shrug.
