Most chimney damage starts with water. A cracked crown lets rain into the masonry, the brick spalls in the next freeze, the damper rusts, and by the time there is a stain on the ceiling the repair is three times the size it was.
Hill Country weather does the damage: hot summers open hairline cracks in the crown, then the two or three hard freezes a winter turn them into spalled brick and loose joints. Fixing the crown and the joints early is a small job. Rebuilding the top of a chimney is not.
The exact scope depends on your fireplace, the flue and what the inspection finds.
Every job begins with a free professional inspection. The final scope depends on the home, the system and what we find.

A general home inspection notes that the fireplace exists. It does not go up the flue, check the crown or find where the dryer vent ends. What to check before closing, and what it costs when you do not.

Water and temperature swings. A hairline crack in the crown lets rain in, and the winter freezes do the rest.
Seal it before the next winter. A crown repair is one of the cheapest jobs on the chimney and prevents the most expensive ones.
