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 Redwood, TX
A chimney inspection in Redwood, TX is the starting point for nearly every fireplace question we get, because most of the housing here is newer than the people living in it. Redwood’s subdivisions went up after 2000, which means prefabricated fireboxes and factory-built flues that many owners assumed would look after themselves. They don’t. The dry Central Texas off-season lets creosote cure and crack, and the first cold snap in December puts a year’s worth of fires through the flue in a few weeks. Call (888) 401-6898 and we’ll tell you what your chimney actually needs.
Why Redwood Homes Are Different
Redwood sits on the eastern edge of the Hill Country, where the limestone gives way to rolling oak-and-cedar country and the lots get wider as you head out of town. It’s one of the fastest-growing exurban towns east of San Antonio, and that growth shapes the chimney work. The bulk of what we see is post-2000 subdivision construction: brick-veneer single-family homes on slab, prefabricated metal fireboxes, factory-built flues. These flues have short service lives, and builder-grade installs are common, so the recurring issue isn’t crumbling old brick. It’s worn prefab components and clearance-to-combustible violations. Scattered among them are larger barndominium-style and acreage homes with true masonry chimneys or double-wall stovepipe, and those hold a strong wood-burning culture that doesn’t care what month the calendar says. Same town, two very different chimneys.

Our Main Redwood Services
Two jobs account for most of the calls we take from Redwood homeowners: a proper sweep before the season starts, and the repair work that a sweep or inspection turns up.
Chimney Sweep in Redwood
The sweeping side of the business in Redwood is mostly first-time education. A homeowner moves into a house with a fireplace, burns for a season or two, and then starts wondering whether any of it was set up right. We sweep the flue, pull the creosote, check the firebox and damper while we’re in there, and leave you with a clear picture of what condition your chimney is in. Oak pollen and dust settle into dormant flues each spring here, and eight or nine months of inactivity lets creosote harden into something a brush has to work at. For the full rundown, see Chimney Sweep in Redwood.
Chimney Repair in Redwood
Repair in Redwood tends to be component work rather than masonry restoration. Cracks in a prefab flue, a failed crown, a damper that no longer seats, a liner that was never right for the appliance connected to it. We work with HeatShield for flue resurfacing when the chimney can be restored without a full reline, and Gelco and Olympia Chimney components when a section has to come out and be replaced. Occasional hard freezes crack exposed masonry crowns and caps, which is a spring phone call waiting to happen. The repair side lives here: Chimney Repair in Redwood.
Chimney Inspection in Redwood
Chimney Inspection in Redwood is an education job first and a technical job second, because the housing stock here is prefabricated and post-2000, and most owners were never told what that means for maintenance. A factory-built flue has a shorter service life than masonry, its clearances to combustible framing are fixed at installation, and neither of those things announces itself. Our Chimney Inspection is built to answer that question honestly. We look, we document, and we tell you plainly when something can safely wait and when it can’t.
Fireplace Inspection
Signs you need it
You’ve never had the fireplace looked at since you bought the house, or you smell smoke in the room when the fire is drawing normally.
What it costs in Redwood
A fireplace inspection typically runs $99 to $250 in Redwood, and a Level 2 inspection with a camera runs $150 to $400 depending on flue length and access.
How we do it
We check the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and the visible flue, then confirm clearances to combustible framing and the condition of the cap and crown.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Signs you need it
You’re buying or selling a Redwood home, you’ve changed appliances, or a chimney fire has happened at any point in the flue’s history.
What it costs in Redwood
A Level 2 inspection typically costs $150 to $400 in Redwood, and camera footage we hand you goes a long way toward settling a real-estate question.
How we do it
We run a camera the length of the flue, check every accessible joint and offset, and photograph what we find so you’re looking at the evidence, not taking our word for it.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Redwood
| Item | Typical range in Redwood |
|---|---|
| Fireplace inspection | $99 – $250 |
| Level 2 chimney inspection (camera) | $150 – $400 |
| Inspection and sweep together | $180 – $450 |
Every one of those numbers is an estimate. The written estimate we hand you sets the final price, and nothing gets added after the fact.
Do I really need a Level 2 inspection if my house is only a few years old?
Newer doesn’t mean inspected. Prefab flues in Redwood subdivisions have a shorter service life than masonry, and builder-grade clearances can be wrong from day one. A camera inspection on a recent build is the only way to know what’s behind the wall. Call (888) 401-6898 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
What actually happens if I skip the inspection?
A cracked prefab flue or a failed clearance can let heat reach framing you can’t see. That’s the real risk, not a dirty chimney. We’d rather find it on a camera before the season than after. Call (888) 401-6898 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Redwood
We source and install from a professional-grade roster: HeatShield for flue resurfacing, Gelco and Olympia Chimney for liner components, Famco for caps and terminations. That keeps the fix matched to the flue it’s going into. Ask about our brands and we’ll explain which one fits your chimney. Most repair turnaround in Redwood is a matter of days, not weeks.

In Redwood, the biggest price drivers are flue length, roof pitch and access, and whether the chimney is prefab or true masonry. A two-story prefab roof is a different afternoon than a single-story acreage chimney. Our prices are flat and agreed before we book, so the number you hear on the phone is the number you’re quoted.
