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.

Englewood’s concentration of postwar brick ranch homes means we’re often looking at original clay tile liners and masonry that have never been professionally assessed. Our NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection, with camera down the flue, finds what a flashlight sweep misses. Every job gets a written price, written scope, and documented photo record under the Haven Standard.
Why Englewood Homes Are Different
Englewood’s building boom from 1945 to 1965 produced a remarkably uniform housing stock: single-story and split-level brick ranches with original masonry fireplaces and clay tile flue liners now entering their seventh decade. In the Bates-Logan neighborhood and downtown-adjacent blocks, we regularly find fireplaces converted to gas logs in the 1980s and 1990s without code-compliant liner inserts, leaving deteriorating original tile exposed to moisture and combustion byproducts.
The Front Range Chinook winds hit Englewood hard, pushing temperatures from below zero to 60°F within 24 hours. At 5,300 feet with roughly 300 frost-cycle days annually, that thermal shock repeatedly stresses aging mortar joints and tile liners. Annual inspection here isn’t routine maintenance; it’s prevention against accelerated masonry failure that newer suburbs simply don’t see at this scale.
Our Main Englewood Services
Most Englewood calls start with a sweep and inspection, then branch to cap, crown, or liner work once the camera reveals what’s actually inside the flue.

AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Englewood
Englewood’s 60-75 year old masonry chimneys show crown deterioration and cap failure at rates we don’t see in newer construction. Spalling concrete crowns and rusted or missing caps allow direct water infiltration into the flue, accelerating tile fracture and mortar decay in a climate that already punishes masonry. We install and repair caps and crowns with materials from Chimney Cap & Crown specifications, sized to each flue configuration.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Chunks of concrete missing from the crown top, visible cracks radiating from the flue opening, or interior water staining on the firebox walls after snowmelt or rain.
What it costs in Englewood
Crown repair in Englewood typically runs $450-$850 for crack sealing and resurfacing, while full crown rebuilds range $1,200-$2,400 depending on chimney width and access.
How we do it
We grind out deteriorated concrete to sound substrate, form and pour new crown with minimum 2-inch overhang and drip edge, then seal with breathable masonry waterproofing.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
No cap present, visible rust holes in an existing galvanized cap, or animal nesting debris in the firebox indicating open flue access.
What it costs in Englewood
Single-flue stainless steel cap installation in Englewood ranges $350-$650 installed; multi-flue caps or custom sizes run $650-$1,200.
How we do it
We measure flue tile or crown opening, fabricate or order the correct cap from Olympia Chimney or Gelco inventory, and secure with masonry screws or compression fit depending on flue type.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Englewood
| Item | Typical range in Englewood |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel cap, single flue | $350 - $650 |
| Multi-flue cap | $650 - $1,200 |
| Crown crack repair/resurfacing | $450 - $850 |
| Full crown rebuild | $1,200 - $2,400 |
| Crown coating (sealer only) | $250 - $450 |
Can a cracked crown wait until next year?
Not safely in Englewood. Chinook freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks through winter, and water entering the flue accelerates liner and mortar damage that costs significantly more to repair. Call (720) 674-7312 for a camera inspection and written quote.
Do I need a cap if I don’t burn wood?
Yes. Even gas and decorative fireplaces need caps to block rain, snow, and animal entry that damages the flue and creates moisture problems in the smoke chamber. We size caps for all fuel types.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Englewood
Englewood’s original clay tile liners, installed 1945-1965, are failing from decades of thermal shock and moisture infiltration, especially in Bates-Logan and downtown-adjacent homes with unlined gas conversions. A compromised liner allows heat transfer to combustible framing and lets combustion gases leak through cracked mortar joints. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work restores the safety barrier the building code requires.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Visible tile fragments in the firebox, a camera scan showing cracked or missing flue tiles, or a home inspector flagging the chimney as unlined or deteriorated.
What it costs in Englewood
Stainless steel liner installation in Englewood ranges $2,800-$4,500 for a standard fireplace flue, including insulation wrap, top plate, and connection collar.
How we do it
We measure the flue with a video scan, order DuraFlex or HeatShield-compatible stainless steel in the correct diameter, drop the insulated liner from the top, and seal with a top plate and bottom connection to the appliance or smoke chamber.
Liner Replacement
Signs you need it
Previous liner is corroded, separated at joints, or was never properly connected to the appliance; or the chimney fails a real estate inspection for liner integrity.
What it costs in Englewood
Removing an existing failed liner and installing new runs $3,200-$4,800 in Englewood, with variation for chimney height, offset bends, and appliance type.
How we do it
We extract the damaged liner with extraction equipment, inspect the surrounding masonry with the camera, then install new stainless steel with proper insulation and clearances per NFPA 211.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Englewood
| Item | Typical range in Englewood |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner, fireplace | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Liner replacement (remove + install) | $3,200 - $4,800 |
| Flexible liner, appliance vent | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Partial rebuild (above roofline) | $2,500 - $5,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,500 - $15,000 |
Does every old chimney need relining?
Not automatically. We camera-scan first; if clay tiles are intact and joints are tight, we document that and clean. Replacement is recommended only when the scan shows cracks, gaps, or missing tile that compromise the flue’s protective function.
Can I sell my house with a damaged liner?
Most Englewood home inspectors flag deteriorated liners, and buyers often request repairs or credits. A documented Level 2 inspection with photo record gives both parties clear information to negotiate from. Call (720) 674-7312 for a pre-listing scan.
