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 Westway, TX
Chimney repair in Westway, TX is mostly a desert story. The homes out here burn wood through cold snaps and then sit through spring dust storms that pack caliche grit and tumbleweed debris into flues, and the extreme day-to-night temperature swings work masonry apart one crack at a time. We’re a chimney and vent specialist, not a general handyman: our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, we’re licensed and insured, and we repair what we find so you’re not handing the job to a second contractor after an inspection turns something up. Call (888) 849-7238 for a free estimate.
Why Westway Homes Are Different
Westway sits in far west El Paso County, and the conditions here shape the work in ways that don’t show up in most chimney advice. Two very different houses line the same streets. Older single-story ranches and adobe-style homes carry thick-walled masonry flues that wick moisture and crack from the near-freezing winter nights and hot afternoons that follow. Newer stucco subdivisions run factory-built metal fireplaces and stovepipe chimneys instead, and those systems tend to fail at the cap after desert windstorms rather than in the flue itself.
Then there’s the dust. Spring storms drive fine grit through caps and spark arrestors, and when creosote from wood-burning sets up against wind-blown caliche dust it forms a hard, glazed crust that a brush alone won’t touch. Add the dry, windy conditions that let a chimney fire spread quickly to a roof deck or nearby brush, and cleaning stops being a fall chore. In Westway it’s seasonal maintenance with a real deadline.

Our Main Westway Services
Most Westway homeowners call us about two things: a fireplace that needs cleaning before cold weather, or a flue and cap that need repair after wind and dust have had their way.
Chimney Sweep in Westway
A sweep here starts with a look at what’s actually in the flue, because after a spring dust storm a routine cleaning can turn into full debris extraction – sand and tumbleweed packed into the firebox alongside the creosote. We use rotary equipment to break up glazed deposits that ordinary brushing leaves behind, and we check the cap and screen while we’re up there. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself. If your last cleaning was before the wind season, this is the appointment to book: Chimney Sweep in Westway.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westway
Dust doesn’t stop at the chimney. Westway’s dry air and dusty wind leave lint and grit building up in dryer vents faster than in most places, and a clogged vent is one of the leading causes of residential house fires. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, confirm the damper opens and closes, and show you what came out. It’s a named service for us, not something tacked onto a chimney visit: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westway.
Chimney Repair in Westway
Chimney repair in Westway is driven by two things: the age of the housing stock and the desert climate working on it. Homes built before 1980 carry masonry flues that spall and crack from temperature swings, while newer stucco builds with metal fireplaces lose caps and spark arrestors to windstorms. We handle both profiles, and we work with professional-grade Chimney Repair materials from HeatShield, DuraFlex, Gelco and Olympia Chimney, so the fix matches the chimney instead of whatever a generalist happens to carry.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Look for a cap that’s bent, missing its screen, or sitting loose after a windstorm, and for grit or debris showing up in the firebox.
What it costs in Westway
Chimney cap replacement in Westway typically runs $185 to $425 depending on cap style, flue size and whether the crown needs attention at the same time.
How we do it
We measure the flue, remove the damaged cap, inspect the crown and flue top, then set and secure a properly sized cap with a spark arrestor rated for the chimney type.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A cracked, rusted or unlined flue shows up as dark staining, a fireplace that smokes into the room, or a camera inspection that finds gaps in the clay tiles.
What it costs in Westway
Liner installation in Westway typically runs $2,400 to $5,500, set by flue length, liner material and whether the old lining has to be removed first; the written estimate is the final price.
How we do it
We clean and camera the flue, size the liner to the appliance, then insulate and install a DuraFlex stainless system with the top plate and cap set and sealed.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Westway
| Item | Typical range in Westway |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap replacement | $185 – $425 |
| Chimney crown repair | $275 – $650 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,400 – $5,500 |
Prices in Westway climb with flue height, the condition of the existing lining, and whether wind damage reached the crown or flashing along with the cap. Every job is quoted per job in writing before we start, and that estimate sets the final price.
Can you repair a wind-damaged chimney cap in Westway?
Yes. Wind-damaged caps and spark arrestors are one of the most common repairs we make in Westway, especially on newer stucco homes with metal fireplaces. We replace rather than patch when the housing is bent, and we check the crown while we’re up there.
Do I really need a new liner, or can it be resurfaced?
Sometimes it can be resurfaced. When the damage is in the flue walls rather than a failed liner, HeatShield resurfacing restores the flue without a full relining, which extends chimney life. We show you the camera footage and explain which option fits before you decide.
Brands We Service in Westway
We source and install materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco and Copperfield – liner systems, resurfacing products, caps and venting components. Knowing the brand going into your home matters. Take a look at our brands. Turnaround depends on the part and the job size.

What Westway Customers Say
"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Kurt Padgett"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
- Gabriela Salazar"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
- Claudia Guzman
