Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Reno, TX
Chimney work in Reno, TX means handling two very different systems: original masonry fireplaces in 1970s-1990s brick ranch homes, and factory-built zero-clearance units in the 2000s-era subdivisions that have grown up around Parker County. Both burn wood sporadically through North Texas’s short, unpredictable cold snaps, which creates a creosote pattern most homeowners don’t expect. Our Reno chimney technicians inspect, clean, and repair both types, and we start every job with a written price you approve before any work begins. Call (336) 863-3889 to book.
Why Reno Homes Are Different
Reno sits in Parker County, in the fast-growing corridor west of Fort Worth. The housing stock here tells the story: older ranch homes with traditional masonry chimneys and clay tile flue liners sit alongside newer subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s, many with factory-built zero-clearance fireplaces. Those two systems fail in different ways, and a sweep or inspection that treats them the same misses real problems.
The climate drives the bigger issue. Most Reno residents burn wood only a handful of times each season, but when a hard freeze arrives, the fireplace runs for hours straight after sitting idle for eleven months. That pattern produces low-temperature, incomplete burns that deposit sticky, glazed creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, faster than a home that burns every week. We saw exactly this after Winter Storm Uri in 2021: chimneys that had been dormant for a year suddenly running wide open, and homeowners discovering flue damage they had no reason to suspect.
High winds and severe thunderstorms also take a toll. Mortar crowns erode, chimney caps loosen or blow off, and uncapped flues invite a specific Parker County problem: chimney swifts. These federally protected migratory birds nest inside uncapped chimneys from roughly April through October. Anyone cleaning or capping a chimney during that window is breaking federal law under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The practical effect in Reno is a narrow fall scheduling window, after the swifts leave and before the first serious burn. We plan around it and tell you plainly if a cap job has to wait.
Our Main Reno Services
These are the three calls we get most from Reno homeowners, each with its own dedicated page.
Chimney Sweep in Reno
Our Chimney Sweep in Reno service removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. The sporadic burn pattern in Reno means glazed creosote is common, and it does not brush out with a standard chimney sweep’s rod and brush; it often requires mechanical removal. We explain what we found, show you photos from the camera inspection, and leave the firebox and hearth clean. A standard sweep is not a repair call, but it is the cheapest prevention step you can take before burning season.
Chimney Inspection in Reno
An Chimney Inspection in Reno is a camera-and-eyeball evaluation of the flue, liner, crown, cap, and smoke chamber. In Reno’s older ranch homes, many original clay tile liners have never been inspected and show cracking from decades of thermal cycling. In newer zero-clearance fireplaces, the concern is different: warped panels, blocked vents, and installation shortcuts. We document everything with photos and give you a written report that says plainly what needs work now, what can wait, and what is fine.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Reno
Gas Fireplace Repair in Reno covers pilot assemblies, thermocouples, gas valves, burners, and electronic ignition systems in both built-in and insert-style units. North Texas cold snaps are when gas fireplaces fail, because that is when they are asked to run after months of disuse. Spider nests in burner tubes and dust on the thermocouple are the two most common culprits we see in Parker County. We carry professional replacement parts from DuraFlex and HeatShield, and we test every unit for proper gas pressure and carbon monoxide before we leave.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Reno
We typically schedule Reno appointments within 24 to 72 hours, and sooner if you are seeing smoke backing up into the house. Chimney swifts complicate scheduling from April through October, since we cannot legally clean or cap an active nest. Fall and early winter fill up quickly. Call (336) 863-3889 to get on the calendar.
Most repairs and sweeps inside Parker County do not require a permit, but if you live in a newer Reno subdivision, your HOA may have rules about visible exterior work like cap replacement or crown repair. We can tell you what is typically required and provide a written quote for your HOA if needed. The work itself does not change based on HOA approval, but the scheduling sometimes does.
Creosote builds fastest when wood burns incompletely, which is exactly what happens when a fireplace sits idle for months and then runs hard during a freeze. Skipping a year means the next sweep may require mechanical removal instead of a standard brush, which costs more. In the worst case, built-up creosote can ignite. A camera inspection will show you the condition before you decide to wait another year.

- Douglas P."Fast and tidy. Fireplace draws properly again."
- Mina K."Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
