Princeton is a Collin County community of one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas, with housing stock split between old and brand new. Princeton has grown quickly, and its chimneys reflect that: original small-town brick stacks alongside very new prefab chases. We approach the two completely differently.
That shapes what we look for. Rather than running a generic checklist, we start from what Princeton homes are actually built from and what this corner of North Texas does to them — hail in spring, hard freeze-thaw swings in winter, and long dry heat in between that opens every joint it can find.
Texan Flue treats every Princeton chimney as the crown jewel of the home it sits on. Our free estimate goes onto the roof and a camera goes down the flue, so you see the true condition of your crown, cap, flashing and liner before a dollar is spent on repairs — and you keep the footage whether or not you hire us.
When you call from Princeton, we can usually be there the same day — because fireplace problems rarely arrive at convenient moments, and neither should the fix.
You will know the price before we begin, in writing, with nothing left vague. If the scope ever needs to change, work pauses until you have approved the revision.
Everything we touch is recorded on camera. You receive visual evidence of the before, the after, and the reasoning in between — a permanent record for your home.
And we carry ourselves like guests in your home: clean uniforms, covered floors, and a firebox left cleaner than we found it. That is the Texan Flue standard on every street in Princeton.
Look inside the firebox. Brick or refractory panels laid in courses with mortar joints is masonry; smooth metal panels with visible seams and a metal surround is factory-built. If you are unsure, send us a photo — it takes us a moment to tell you.
Yes. A Level 2 camera inspection at purchase is the standard recommendation and it is the one time it genuinely matters most, because you have no history on the system. It is far better to know before the first fire than after.
Usually, but not always. We regularly find shipping plugs left in place, dampers that were never opened, and caps fitted incorrectly on brand-new homes. A quick check before the first fire is cheap insurance.
