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 Liberty Hill, TX
Chimney repair in Liberty Hill means working on two very different kinds of homes. The older ranch properties on acreage often have original masonry fireplaces with clay tile liners that have been through decades of Texas heat and the occasional hard freeze, while the new custom builds going up across 78642 have factory-built metal chimneys or gas inserts. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep has served Liberty Hill since 2011, and the work here comes down to knowing both systems cold. Call (877) 274-1247 when you need a real diagnosis, not a guess.
Why Liberty Hill Homes Are Different
Liberty Hill’s rapid exurban growth has created a mix of new custom homes with modern chimney systems alongside older ranch properties on large lots, many of which still have original masonry fireplaces or wood stoves that see heavy seasonal use. The transition from rural to suburban means a chimney company working here has to be fluent in both historic masonry repairs and contemporary gas fireplace service. We are.
The climate does something specific to chimneys in this part of Williamson County. Hot summers and mild winters mean fireplaces get used intensively for a few months, then sit. Creosote that built up during burning season hardens during the off-season heat, which makes it tougher to remove and more likely to become a glaze. Occasional freezing temperatures and strong winds also increase the risk of downdrafts and animal nesting. And in the older ranch properties around Liberty Hill, it’s common to find fireplaces with original clay tile liners that have cracked from years of heating and cooling cycles, often hidden until a sweep inspection reveals gaps that could allow creosote to contact framing. That’s the repair we do most often on the older homes here.

Our Main Liberty Hill Services
Most calls we take in Liberty Hill start with one of these two services, and they often turn out to be related.
Chimney Sweep in Liberty Hill
A sweep in Liberty Hill is about more than running a brush through the flue. On the older ranches, it’s an inspection of the clay tile liner and the smoke chamber, where cracks like to hide. On newer builds, it’s checking the gas insert venting and the cap. The intensive winter burning season here means creosote gets thick, and the hot summer months bake it onto the flue walls. We pair the sweep with a camera inspection so you see what we see, and we’ll tell you plainly if the chimney can wait another season or needs work now. Learn more about Chimney Sweep in Liberty Hill.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Liberty Hill
Dryer vents in Liberty Hill homes get the same neglect as chimneys do. Lint builds up, airflow drops, and the dryer runs hotter and longer. The National Fire Protection Association identifies dryer vent fires as a leading household combustion hazard, and we bundle dryer vent cleaning with chimney sweeping in one appointment. One call, two fire hazards addressed. If your dryer is taking longer than it used to or the laundry room feels hotter than it should, Dryer Vent Cleaning in Liberty Hill is the page worth reading before you call.

Chimney Repair in Liberty Hill
Chimney repair in Liberty Hill usually starts with a crack. In the older ranch homes across 78642, original clay tile liners crack from decades of heating and cooling cycles, and the gap lets creosote contact framing where it shouldn’t. In newer homes, the problem is more often a flashing leak at the roofline or a cap that’s failed and let birds in. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep handles the full repair-to-maintenance cycle, so you’re not bouncing between contractors. We inspect, we name the brand and method we’d use, and we repair what we inspect. That’s the whole job. For a deeper look at our repair approach, see Chimney Repair.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You see birds, twigs, or rain inside the firebox, or you notice a rusted or missing cap from the ground.
What it costs in Liberty Hill
Chimney cap installation in Liberty Hill typically runs $180 – $480 depending on the cap brand and flue size.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a cap from our stocked brands such as Gelco or Famco, and mount it to the crown with mechanical fasteners so wind and animals stay out.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, the mesh is torn, or the cap blew off during a storm.
What it costs in Liberty Hill
Chimney cap replacement in Liberty Hill runs $180 – $480, with the same range as a new install since the old cap usually comes off without complications.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, check the flue tile underneath for damage, and mount a replacement that matches the flue size and the home’s roofline.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace or damp drywall in the attic at the chimney chase.
What it costs in Liberty Hill
Flashing repair in Liberty Hill typically costs $300 – $600 depending on how much of the existing flashing can be reused.
How we do it
We lift the shingles at the chimney base, replace the step and counter flashing with new metal, and seal the joints with a high-temperature sealant rated for exterior exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown on top of the chimney is cracked, spalling, or has visible gaps at the flue tile.
What it costs in Liberty Hill
Crown repair in Liberty Hill runs $300 – $600, less than a full rebuild because we’re resurfacing rather than replacing.
How we do it
We clean the surface, fill the cracks with a bonded concrete patch, and float a new slope so water sheds away from the flue instead of pooling.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Liberty Hill
| Item | Typical range in Liberty Hill |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $180 – $480 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $180 – $480 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $300 – $600 |
| Chimney crown repair | $300 – $600 |
Do I need a new liner, or can the old one be fixed?
Not every cracked liner needs full replacement. We use HeatShield resurfacing to seal small-to-moderate damage in clay tile liners, which extends the liner’s life without the cost and disruption of a full reline.
Can I wait until next season to fix a cracked crown?
Every freeze-thaw cycle in Liberty Hill widens the crack. What starts as a $300 crown repair becomes a much larger masonry job once water gets behind the brick. Call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll give you an honest read on urgency.
