From the newer chases of Las Colinas to the mid-century chimneys of central Irving, we diagnose and fix what your chimney actually needs — not more than that.
Irving chimneys take a beating in ways that are easy to miss from the ground. In Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, tall stucco and EIFS chases stand exposed to Gulf-driven wind and hail with little tree cover to break it up. In central and historic Irving, mid-century masonry chimneys have quietly shifted with decades of clay-soil movement. Whatever the cause, chimney repair is about figuring out exactly what's failing and fixing that — not guessing, and not replacing more than necessary.
Most repair calls start with something visible: a crack running down the crown, white staining on brick, a chase cover that's rusted through, or a smoky smell after a hard rain. Homes near Hackberry Creek and other low-lying areas often show water staining first, since drainage patterns push extra moisture toward foundations and chimney bases. If you're seeing any of these signs, a full chimney inspection is the right first step before any repair work begins.
We start outside and work in: crown condition, flashing, mortar joints, and the chase or chimney chase cover if your home has one. Then we look at the flue itself, since cracked liners and separated flue tiles cause damage you can't see from the yard. This is also where we catch issues that overlap with other services, like a chimney that needs flue relining instead of just a surface patch, or a crown that's failed enough to need full crown repair rather than a seal coat.
Irving's chimney problems tend to split along housing era and location. In Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, taller exposed chases and stucco/EIFS finishes catch wind-driven rain and hail directly, and hairline cracks in those surfaces let water behind the finish long before homeowners notice. In historic downtown Irving and the older neighborhoods around it, brick and mortar chimneys have had decades to react to clay-soil movement, which shows up as stair-step cracking, leaning stacks, or gaps where the chimney has pulled slightly away from the house. Hail season adds a second layer of damage on top of both problems, denting caps and chase covers and accelerating cracks that were already forming. Knowing which pattern applies to your home changes how we prioritize the repair.
We inspect, explain what's actually wrong, and quote it — no guessing games from Las Colinas to central Irving.
(214) 225-8874Chimney repair pricing depends on what's actually wrong, not just the size of the chimney. Access matters — a tall Las Colinas chase versus a single-story central Irving home changes labor time. Material matters too: stucco/EIFS chase repair, brick and mortar work, and metal cap or flashing replacement all price differently. The extent of damage is the biggest factor; a surface crown repair costs far less than a rebuild triggered by years of untreated moisture or soil movement. Services start at $99, and every job gets an up-front, itemized quote before work begins, so you know the cost before you commit.

Hail damage tends to show as dented metal caps, chase covers, or small impact chips on the crown, often after a specific storm. Age-related and clay-soil damage in central Irving usually shows up as gradual cracking or a chimney slightly leaning away from the house. We can usually tell the difference during an inspection by looking at the pattern and location of the damage.
Yes. Stucco and EIFS chases common in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch fail differently than brick, usually through hairline cracking that lets water behind the finish rather than crumbling mortar joints. Repair for these often focuses on the chase cover, flashing, and surface sealing rather than tuckpointing.
In most cases, yes. We prioritize targeted repairs like crown work, flashing, or partial masonry repair whenever the underlying structure is sound. A full rebuild is only recommended when damage has progressed too far for a partial fix to hold up.
Older homes in central and historic Irving sit on clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can cause a chimney to shift slightly relative to the house over time. This shows up as stair-step cracks in brick or gaps at the roofline, and it's a common reason repair needs get more involved than they first appear.
We serve Irving seven days a week, including Sundays, so storm-related issues like a cracked crown or damaged flashing can be looked at quickly rather than waiting until a leak gets worse. Call (214) 225-8874 and we'll get you scheduled.
