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 Jonestown, TX
Chimney repair in Jonestown often comes down to one thing: sun-baked crowns and cedar-choked caps. We see cracked chimney crowns on the west-facing chases of 1990s Hill Country builds, and spark arrestors matted with Ashe juniper duff on almost every inspection we do out here. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep has served Jonestown since 2011, and the homes around Lake Travis keep us busy with repairs that smaller sweep-only outfits won’t touch. Call (877) 274-1247 when you need a diagnosis you can actually verify.
Why Jonestown Homes Are Different
Jonestown is a small Lake Travis-area community, and the housing here doesn’t fit the suburban mold. Most properties sit on large wooded lots in the 78645 ZIP, a mix of 1990s and 2000s custom Hill Country builds, manufactured homes, and older lake-area cabins that have been added onto over the years. You’ll find masonry fireplaces with traditional clay flue tiles, and you’ll also find factory-built metal flue systems with exterior chimney chases. Those chases take a beating here.
The climate is the quiet driver of most chimney problems in Jonestown. Long, hot summers with relentless sun exposure crack concrete crowns and chase tops, especially on the west and south elevations. The live oak and Ashe juniper canopy drops a heavy load of leaves, needles, and pollen throughout the fall and winter. That debris collects on chimney caps and inside spark arrestors, and it does it fast. A flue can look perfectly fine from the hearth while the top is blocked by a mat of cedar duff. When county burn bans lift and families start burning again, that’s when a blocked flue becomes a real hazard.
Many Jonestown homes are on septic and well water in a no-municipal-utility setting, and that shapes how we schedule and access properties. Long gravel drives, gated lots, and homes set back from the road are common. We plan for the access, not just the chimney.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Jonestown Services
Two calls dominate our Jonestown schedule: homeowners who need a chimney swept before burn season, and homeowners who haven’t cleaned their dryer vent in years. Both are combustion-safety issues, and we handle both in a single visit when it makes sense.
Chimney Sweep in Jonestown
A chimney sweep in Jonestown means more than running a brush up the flue. Between the live oak leaves and the Ashe juniper pollen, caps and spark arrestors here clog faster than almost anywhere in the Hill Country. We remove the debris, sweep the flue to Code, and inspect the system for the cracking and spalling that this climate accelerates. If you haven’t had your flue cleaned in two years, it’s time. Chimney Sweep in Jonestown covers what we do on a full sweep and inspection.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jonestown
The NFPA identifies dryer vent fires as a leading cause of home fires, and Jonestown’s semi-rural lots mean longer vent runs in many custom builds. That means more lint accumulation and more restriction. We clean the entire vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we check for the bird guards and louvers that cedar duff and leaves can clog. One call, two fire hazards addressed. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jonestown explains the full scope.

Chimney Repair in Jonestown
Chimney repair in Jonestown is rarely a one-and-done patch job. The combination of intense summer sun, occasional winter rain, and the freeze-thaw cycle common to Hill Country mornings cracks masonry crowns and deteriorates chase tops faster than homeowners expect. We repair what we inspect, and we start every repair with a camera view of the actual damage so you can see what we’re recommending and why. Nothing we recommend is based on a guess. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep has been performing Chimney Repair in this area since 2011, using the same trade brands professionals specify nationwide.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight through the top of your flue with no cap in place, or you’ve found bird nests, leaves, or water inside the firebox.
What it costs in Jonestown
Standard chimney cap installation in Jonestown typically runs $200 to $450 for a standard single-flue cap, while multi-flue and custom caps range from $450 to $900 depending on size and material.
How we do it
We measure the flue tile dimensions exactly, set a proper cap with a screened spark arrestor, and secure it with mechanical fasteners rather than friction fit.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Your existing cap is rusted through, the mesh is torn, or wind and animals have knocked it loose enough that it tips or rattles.
What it costs in Jonestown
Chimney cap replacement runs $250 to $500 for most single-flue replacements, and $350 to $750 when a custom or specialty cap is required.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, verify the flue tile dimensions, install the correct replacement from a trade brand like Olympia Chimney or Famco, and check the spark arrestor mesh for proper airflow.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your flue tile shows spalling, cracking, or gaps on camera, or you have a heat source that’s incompatible with an unlined or deteriorated flue.
What it costs in Jonestown
A standard single-flue chimney liner installation in Jonestown typically runs $1,400 to $3,200 depending on flue height and access, while complex or offset configurations using DuraFlex flexible liner systems run $2,500 to $5,500.
How we do it
We size the flue, install a DuraFlex flexible liner system where the configuration demands it, insulate as required, and verify the full run with camera inspection before we leave.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You have water staining on the ceiling near the chimney chase, or you can see lifted, cracked, or missing flashing where the chimney meets the roof.
What it costs in Jonestown
Chimney flashing repair in Jonestown typically runs $300 to $750 depending on roof pitch and the condition of the existing flashing.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, install new step and counter flashing, and seal the transition with a quality sealant that holds up to Hill Country UV exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown has visible cracks, spalling, or missing sections, or water pools on the crown after rain instead of draining off.
What it costs in Jonestown
A standard chimney crown repair or re-seal in Jonestown runs $350 to $800, while a full crown rebuild with proper overhang and expansion gap runs $800 to $1,800.
How we do it
We apply a concrete crown resurfacing product or rebuild the crown entirely, leaving correct overhang and a sealed expansion gap so water sheds away from the flue.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Jonestown
| Item | Typical range in Jonestown |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $200 – $900 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $250 – $750 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,400 – $5,500 |
Can you do a liner repair without replacing the whole thing?
Yes, in many cases. We’re certified to apply HeatShield resurfacing, which restores the inner liner surface without removing the old flue tiles. It can extend liner life by years when the underlying structure is sound.
Do I really need to fix flashing and crown damage now?
Water intrusion is cumulative. A small flashing gap or crown crack lets moisture in every time it rains, and freeze-thaw cycles widen it. The repair gets more expensive the longer it waits. Call (877) 274-1247 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Jonestown
We work with HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco components on repairs and liner work in Jonestown. These are the same brands chimney professionals specify nationwide, and we keep common parts on hand so most repairs have a shorter turnaround. See our brands page for the full lineup.

What Jonestown Customers Say
"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."
— Nicole Hayes"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
— Ruben Herrera"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Jennifer Vaughn
