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 Manor, TX
Chimney repair in Manor usually comes down to two distinct house types: a 2000s-era tract build with a prefab metal fireplace, or an older rural home on acreage with a masonry flue that’s weathered decades of Central Texas heat and the occasional hard freeze. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep has served Manor since 2011, and we handle both. The most common calls from Manor homeowners involve damaged caps, failing flashing after freeze-thaw cycles, and liners that need either HeatShield resurfacing or a full DuraFlex replacement. Call (877) 274-1247 for a repair assessment that starts with a camera inspection, not a guess.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Manor sits in the rapidly suburbanizing corridor east-northeast of Austin along US-290, where new-build subdivisions and older rural homes coexist on the same ZIP. That split changes the work. In neighborhoods like Stonewater and Lagos, homes built since the 2000s typically have gas or prefab metal fireplaces. Those systems need annual inspection just like masonry, but homeowners often don’t realize it until something fails. Out on the larger lots, older single-story homes have masonry chimneys or wood-stove flues that face a different set of problems: deteriorated mortar, rusted dampers, and animal entry during the long warm season when fireplaces sit idle.
Central Texas heat, occasional hard freezes like the February 2021 storm, and extended dry spells mean fireplaces here see light, seasonal use. Creosote builds slowly compared to colder climates, but leaf litter, birds, wasps, and raccoons are the bigger chimney concerns in Manor. A freeze-thaw cycle that cracks a crown or flashing joint is common on the older stock, while the newer builds more often need cap work and liner inspections after years of neglect. The mix means a sweep who only runs brushes can’t address what Manor actually needs, which is a full diagnosis-to-repair capability.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Manor Services
Manor homeowners call about two things most often: getting the chimney clean enough to burn safely when the weather finally turns, and clearing dryer vents before a clog becomes a fire hazard. Here’s how each works in Manor specifically.
Chimney Sweep in Manor
In Manor, chimney sweeping is seasonal work that clusters around the first real cold front. Whether you’re in a new subdivision with a prefab fireplace or an older rural home with a wood stove, the process removes creosote, animal nesting, and leaf debris that built up during months of disuse. Older Manor properties on acreage tend to collect more debris because flues go uncapped and tree cover is denser. Newer homes need the same annual service even if the fireplace has never been lit, because wasps and birds nest in the flue during the long warm season. We use the same professional-grade brushes and rods specified by chimney industry professionals nationwide. Chimney Sweep in Manor
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor
Dryer vent cleaning in Manor addresses a fire risk that builds quietly in homes of every age. Lint accumulates in the vent run behind the dryer, and in newer Manor construction those runs are often longer and more convoluted, snaking through walls and ceilings before they reach the outside. That slows airflow, forces the dryer to work harder, and makes lint buildup more likely. We handle dryer vent cleaning alongside chimney sweeping under one appointment, which saves Manor homeowners a second trip and addresses the two leading household combustion hazards in a single visit.

Chimney Repair in Manor
Chimney repair in Manor breaks down by house age. On the newer subdivision side, the typical job is a damaged cap or a liner inspection on a prefab fireplace that hasn’t been looked at since installation. On the older rural side, it’s flashing that’s pulled away after freeze-thaw cycles, cracked crowns, or liners that need attention before they become a carbon monoxide risk. Here’s the honest part: we don’t recommend repair without camera evidence you can see, and we tell you plainly when a repair can safely wait. That’s how Chimney Repair works in Manor, and it’s why our process starts with inspection, not a quote for work you may not need.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You see birds, wasps, or raccoon activity near the top of the chimney, or rainwater is getting into the firebox during storms.
What it costs in Manor
Chimney cap installation in Manor typically runs $190 to $390 for standard single-flue caps with bird screening, making it one of the least expensive repair jobs you’ll face.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a manufacturer-recognized cap sized for your chimney, and secure it to the flue tile or crown with mechanical fasteners before verifying airflow.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A camera inspection shows cracked flue tiles, gaps at the mortar joints, or rust and corrosion in a metal liner, any of which can let heat and gases reach combustible framing.
What it costs in Manor
Chimney liner installation in Manor typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,500 depending on flue length, access, and whether the existing liner is a candidate for HeatShield resurfacing instead.
How we do it
We scope the flue to determine whether HeatShield resurfacing can restore your existing liner, or whether a DuraFlex flexible liner system is the better fit for the chimney’s configuration, then install it with manufacturer-specified components.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You notice water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace, or the flashing where the chimney meets the roofline is visibly pulling away, rusted through, or missing sections.
What it costs in Manor
Chimney flashing repair in Manor typically falls between $350 and $800 depending on the extent of the corrosion and whether we need to reseal or replace the flashing sections.
How we do it
We remove the damaged flashing, inspect the underlying decking for water damage, and install new flashing using materials compatible with both the chimney crown and the roofing surface.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Manor
| Item | Typical range in Manor |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $190 – $390 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $350 – $800 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $6,500 |
Can a cracked chimney liner wait?
No. A cracked liner lets heat and combustion gases reach framing and can allow carbon monoxide into living spaces. It’s the one repair we’ll always tell Manor homeowners to address now, not next season.
Do prefab fireplaces in Manor need the same repair attention as masonry chimneys?
Yes. Prefab metal fireplaces have liners, caps, and terminations that corrode and fail over time, especially after freeze cycles. Many Manor homeowners don’t realize these systems need professional inspection until a repair is unavoidable.
Brands We Service in Manor
We work exclusively with Copperfield, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco products, the same brands chimney professionals specify for commercial and residential work across the country. That means the cap or liner we install in your Manor home isn’t an off-the-shelf substitute. Parts are stocked for quick turnaround, and our brands are selected because they hold up to Central Texas conditions.

In Manor, the biggest price drivers are access and configuration. Older rural homes sometimes need taller or steeper roof access for cap and flashing work, while newer prefab systems can require specialty parts if the original manufacturer no longer stocks them. Before any work begins, we agree on a flat price for the scope, so you’re not surprised by add-ons after the fact.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Manor
Most Manor HOAs regulate exterior appearance, not chimney function. Cap and flashing repairs are typically fine without approval. If your HOA requires documentation for roof or cap color matching, we can provide specs and product details before work starts so you aren’t caught off guard.
Most Manor appointments are scheduled within five to seven business days, and we prioritize camera inspection requests in fall when residents realize their fireplace hasn’t been checked since the previous winter. Call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll give you the soonest available slot for your part of Manor.
Repair work happens year-round. The mild Central Texas climate means we can access chimneys in every season except during active storms. Many Manor homeowners schedule repair work in spring and summer so their fireplace is ready before the first freeze, and we recommend that timing when it fits your schedule.

What Manor Customers Say
"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
— Tara Mercer"Decent work at a reasonable price. Communication in the days before the appointment was a bit thin, but the technician himself was great once he arrived."
— Jessica Lin"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."
