From Las Colinas high-rises to mid-century homes in central Irving, we rebuild chimneys that are past the point of repair — safely and to code.
When a chimney in Irving has cracked bricks stacked on cracked bricks, a visible lean, or a chase pulling away from the house, patchwork repairs stop making sense. Whether it's a stucco-clad chase on a newer build in Las Colinas or Valley Ranch, or a brick chimney on a mid-century home near historic downtown Irving, Lowes Chimney Sweep handles the job when the only real fix is tearing it down and rebuilding it correctly, from the roofline up or from the footing below it.
Most chimney problems can be solved with a repair, a new crown, or a round of tuckpointing. A rebuild is a different category of work, reserved for chimneys that are structurally compromised. We typically recommend a rebuild when we see:
A full inspection is how we confirm whether a chimney genuinely needs a rebuild versus a more limited repair — we never recommend the bigger job unless the structure calls for it.
Irving's chimney stock is a mix of eras and materials, and each has its own failure points. Newer construction in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch often uses stucco or EIFS chimney chases built tall and exposed to catch the wind off Lake Carolyn and the surrounding open corridors — that height and exposure means hail and wind-driven rain hit harder and more directly than they would on a lower, tucked-in chimney. Older mid-century brick homes near historic downtown Irving face a different problem: decades of North Texas clay-soil movement shifting foundations and slowly pulling chimneys away from the house, a process that's often invisible until the lean becomes obvious. Around Hackberry Creek, mature tree cover adds moisture retention and debris that accelerates wear on aging masonry. In all these cases, the chimney has usually been absorbing damage long before a homeowner notices, which is why so many Irving rebuilds start with water intrusion or storm damage that went unaddressed for a season or two.
Not every rebuild means starting from the foundation. We scope each job based on where the damage actually is:
We'll also evaluate the flue during the process, since a rebuild is the right time to address a damaged liner with a liner replacement rather than opening the chimney back up later.
Rebuilds start with a full assessment of the existing structure, the flashing, and the flue, followed by a tear-down of the compromised section and a rebuild using appropriate materials for your home's construction — brick to match older Irving homes, or stucco/EIFS systems for newer Las Colinas and Valley Ranch builds. Flashing is reinstalled to prevent the same water intrusion that may have caused the original damage, and the crown and cap are rebuilt or replaced as part of the job rather than left as an afterthought.
We assess chimneys across Irving, from Las Colinas towers to central Irving bungalows, and give you a clear rebuild plan.
(214) 225-8874Chimney rebuilds are priced by scope, not a flat number, because the variables genuinely change the job. What affects cost includes whether the rebuild is partial (above the roofline) or full, the chimney's height and accessibility — a tall exposed chase in Las Colinas requires more scaffolding and labor than a low central-Irving chimney — the material being matched or replaced (brick versus stucco/EIFS), the condition of the flue and whether a liner needs replacing, and any structural or water damage discovered once the tear-down begins. Services with Lowes Chimney Sweep start at $99, though a rebuild is a larger scope of work assessed on-site. We provide a written, up-front quote before any work begins, so you know the full cost before we start.

Signs include a visible lean, multiple courses of cracked or spalling brick, or separation at the roofline where the chimney pulls away from the house. This is common in central Irving homes affected by years of clay-soil movement. We confirm the scope with an on-site inspection before recommending a rebuild over a repair.
Yes. Many newer homes in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch use stucco or EIFS chase systems rather than brick, and these tall, exposed chases take a harder hit from hail and wind-driven rain. A rebuild on these homes typically includes matching the chase system and reinstalling proper flashing and a new chase cover.
In many cases, yes. An above-the-roofline rebuild is common when the damage is limited to the exposed chase or stack, which is frequent on both older central Irving homes and newer builds near Hackberry Creek. We assess the full structure first to confirm the damage hasn't extended below the roofline.
Timelines depend on scope, whether it's a partial rebuild above the roofline or a full tear-down, plus material availability for matching older Irving brick or newer stucco finishes. We'll give you a specific timeline as part of your written quote after the on-site assessment.
Storm-related damage from hail or wind, which is common on exposed chases in the Las Colinas area, is sometimes covered depending on your policy. We can document the damage during our inspection, but you'll want to confirm coverage details directly with your insurance provider.
