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 Bee Cave, TX
Chimney repair in Bee Cave usually comes down to fire safety, not heating performance. Homes here sit on limestone and dense cedar-oak lots where dry, windy stretches turn any flue problem into a real hazard. We see cracked crowns, rusted caps, and builder-grade flues that were never quite right from the start. If you suspect something is off with your chimney, call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll take a look.
Why Bee Cave Homes Are Different
Bee Cave sits in the Hill Country wildland-urban interface, where nearly every property backs up to oak, cedar, or open scrub. That changes the chimney conversation entirely. Fireplaces here see maybe a dozen fires a year, mostly holidays and the occasional January cold snap. But those fires are often low and slow, which produces the glazed, third-degree creosote that clings to flue walls and resists a standard brushing. Then the long dry season sets in, and that same flue sits above a lot full of fuel. Insurance inspectors and fire marshals understand this, and so do we.
The 78738 housing stock is mostly 2000s-to-2020s custom and production homes with tall masonry chimneys, stone or stucco veneer, and factory-built fireplaces. Many flues are builder-grade 8-inch factory units with standard caps. The original installation, clearance to combustibles, and cap condition are what we evaluate most often. On the older ranch remnants along Highway 71, flues are shorter and simpler, but age brings its own crown and flashing issues.
Spring in Bee Cave means live oak pollen and cedar duff blowing into caps, and it’s common to pull a nest or a pollen mat out of a flue that hasn’t seen a fire since January. The spring cap check matters as much here as the November sweep.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Bee Cave Services
Two jobs drive most of our calls in Bee Cave: chimney sweeping for fire-safety compliance and dryer vent cleaning for the second-biggest household fire risk. Here’s what each involves.
Chimney Sweep in Bee Cave
A sweep in Bee Cave is less about soot volume and more about what’s accumulated during the long idle season. Oak pollen, cedar duff, bird nests, and glazed creosote from last winter’s smoldering fires all come out during a proper cleaning. We also check the cap, crown, and flue condition while we’re there, which matters when an HOA or insurer wants documentation. Chimney Sweep in Bee Cave covers the full process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bee Cave
Dryer vents in Bee Cave run long distances through wall cavities and attics in many of the larger 2000s-era homes, which means more surface area for lint to accumulate. Between the cedar pollen and the long dry season, an overloaded dryer vent is a fire risk we’d rather address on the same visit as a chimney sweep. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bee Cave explains what’s involved.

Chimney Repair in Bee Cave
Chimney repair in Bee Cave is most often about weather exposure and original build quality. The limestone-and-oak terrain means wind-driven debris and pollen work their way into every gap, while freeze-thaw cycles rare as they are still crack crowns and mortar over time. Many homes in the 78738 ZIP have builder-grade flues that were installed to minimum standard, and the cap or flashing is the first thing to fail. When we repair a chimney here, we’re typically restoring a fire-safety barrier, not just fixing a leak. That’s where Chimney Repair comes in.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight through the top of the flue, or you’re finding birds, squirrels, or nests inside the chimney.
What it costs in Bee Cave
Expect $300 to $700 for a standard cap installed on a typical Bee Cave flue, with custom or oversized caps running higher.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, install a properly sized cap with the right screen mesh, and seal the mounting to the crown.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, bent from wind or debris, or was never sized correctly for the flue opening.
What it costs in Bee Cave
Cap replacement in Bee Cave typically runs $350 to $750, depending on the flue size and whether the old cap is still accessible.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, inspect the flue opening for damage, and install a replacement that matches the flue dimensions and the home’s exposure.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You’ve got water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, or you can see pulled-away or corroded metal where the chimney meets the roof.
What it costs in Bee Cave
Flashing repair in Bee Cave generally lands between $450 and $1,100, depending on how much of the flashing needs to be replaced versus resealed.
How we do it
We pull the failed flashing, inspect the roof decking beneath, and install new step or counter flashing sealed with a compatible roofing sealant.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown has visible cracks, spalling, or water pooling on top of the chimney.
What it costs in Bee Cave
Crown repair in Bee Cave is typically $800 to $2,000, with full crown replacement at the upper end for larger masonry chimneys.
How we do it
We clean and repair the crown surface, apply a weatherproof crown coat or recast the crown with a proper overhang, and address any underlying cap or flue issues.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your current liner is cracked, missing sections, or was never installed, and you want to burn wood or vent a gas appliance safely.
What it costs in Bee Cave
Chimney liner installation in Bee Cave typically runs $2,500 to $5,500, depending on flue length, diameter, and whether it’s a straight or offset run.
How we do it
We size the liner to the flue, run a DuraFlex flexible liner system through the chimney, and connect it to the appliance with proper termination.

Most Bee Cave HOAs care about visible exterior changes, especially caps and crowns. If your repair changes what’s visible from the street, check your HOA guidelines first. We can document the condition in a way that satisfies most HOA requests.
