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 Preston Hollow, TX
Flint Chimney Co Dallas handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Preston Hollow, where the housing stock runs large, custom, and older than most of Dallas-Fort Worth. We deal with tall masonry chimneys, multiple flues per house, and heavy creosote loads from wood-burning fireplaces that get real use every time a cold front pushes through. A standard chimney sweep in this neighborhood typically runs $170 – $250, and we give you that number in writing before the truck unloads. Call (361) 492-4099 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Preston Hollow Homes Are Different
Preston Hollow was built out largely in the 1950s through the 1970s, and a lot of those original estate-style homes have been expanded, re-roofed, and fitted with new fireplaces since. That means most chimneys we work on here are not one-flue ranch-house jobs. You get custom masonry work, tall stacks, oversized decorative caps, and frequently two or three flues serving separate fireplaces and a furnace or water heater. The mature tree canopy that defines so many Preston Hollow streets also drops leaves, twigs, and nesting material into caps and flues all year, not just in fall.
What that means on a service call is that the flat-rate sweep takes longer, the inspection passes usually find animal guards worth replacing, and the repair scope is often more involved than a typical track-home chimney. The clay soils under Preston Hollow shift slowly with wet and dry seasons, and we see the result as hairline cracks in flue tiles and small crown separations at the top of the stack. A competent sweep flags those early.
None of this is dramatic, and none of it is rare here. It is simply what the neighborhood does to chimneys over time.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Preston Hollow Services
Preston Hollow homeowners most often call us for a sweep before burning season and for a camera inspection when they have just bought a house or gotten a bad report from another company. Here is what each of the three services involves in this neighborhood.
Chimney Sweep in Preston Hollow
A Chimney Sweep in Preston Hollow starts with the flue, the firebox, and the smoke chamber, and it includes removing creosote, bird nests, and whatever the last windstorm left in the cap. In Preston Hollow we encounter a lot of two and three-flue homes, so the scope often covers more than one passage. We lay drop cloths, run a HEPA-filter vacuum, and you see the before-and-after with your own eyes. The whole job is priced before we start, not after we find something to sell you.
Chimney Inspection in Preston Hollow
A Chimney Inspection in Preston Hollow is a documented written assessment with camera footage of the flue. For older Preston Hollow homes with original brick and later additions, the standard Level 2 camera inspection is the one that finds shifted tiles, deteriorated mortar joints, and hidden animal entry points. We hand you a written report with photos, and we do not pad it with repair recommendations we cannot show you on the camera screen. If the flue is clean, we say so in writing.
Chimney Repair in Preston Hollow
Chimney Repair in Preston Hollow covers everything from tuckpointing and crown rebuilding to flue relining with a HeatShield or DuraFlex system, depending on what the existing flue actually needs. In Preston Hollow where a lot of chimneys have custom stone or stucco chase covers, the right repair keeps the original look intact and the flue sealed. Every repair carries our written 365-Day Done Right Promise, and that guarantee is on paper before you pay a dollar.

Preston Hollow pricing tends to run toward the middle and upper end of these ranges because so many homes have multiple flues, tall stacks, and custom cap work that takes time to access safely. Whatever the final figure is, you get it in writing before any work starts, and the number does not move unless you approve a written change.
