Chimney Restoration in Granbury, TX
Full restoration is scoped from a Level-2 inspection, so the work answers documented findings rather than a guess at what looks bad. Each failed component — crown, masonry, cap, flashing, breathable waterproofing — is rebuilt to NFPA 211 and IRC clearances, worked top-down so nothing finished gets disturbed below it. We photograph the failures going in and the corrected assembly coming out, and water-test the watershed details before close-out so the rebuild is verified against the standard it was built to. Serving Granbury (2 ZIP codes, 11k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
Chimney Restoration in Granbury
Chimney restoration is the whole-stack program for a chimney a Level 2 inspection has found failing across several systems at once — crown, masonry, cap, flashing, and waterproofing addressed together as one coordinated, top-down project. It's the tier you reach when the failures are feeding each other rather than sitting in one spot: the scope is mapped zone by zone before it's quoted, sequenced so each element protects the one below it, and documented element by element on completion.

Built to code · Chimney Restoration in Granbury
Chimney Restoration is held to published national standards no matter the city. Our Granbury crew builds to these and documents the work; the locally-adopted code edition and permit requirements are confirmed with Granbury's authority on every job.
- Crown: overhang + drip edge — Three details define the rebuilt crown: a slope that sheds water, an overhang with a drip edge that throws runoff clear of the brick face, and isolation of the flue tile so thermal movement never cracks the crown.
- Clearance to combustibles — Through every rebuilt element of the restoration, the IRC clearance-to-combustibles air gap holds: 2 in to framing for an interior masonry chimney, 1 in for an exterior chimney.
- Level 2 scope on the flue — Severe multi-element damage is what triggers a restoration, so the flue gets video-scoped to the NFPA 211 Level 2 standard first. A concealed liner breach found on camera is folded into the program; one that goes unfound gets sealed in behind masonry that merely looks sound.
- Breathable repellent only — For whole-stack waterproofing the repellent is a vapor-permeable siloxane/silane product, applied as the final step over sound, dry masonry. Film-forming sealers are ruled out; they trap moisture and spall brick in freeze-thaw.
Scoped from a graded inspection
At Texas Chimney Experts, a chimney restoration is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the chimney restoration is built on.

Chimney Restoration in Granbury — FAQ
How is a full restoration different from a masonry repair?
A masonry repair is a targeted fix for one localized problem, such as a patch of spalled brick, a few cracked units, or a single failing section, on a stack that's otherwise sound. Restoration is the comprehensive program for a chimney failing across several systems at once: a cracked crown AND spalling brick AND leaking flashing AND a missing cap. We rebuild the whole thing together, in the correct order, instead of patching one element and watching the next one fail.
Why does restoration handle the crown, cap, flashing, AND masonry in one project?
Because on a badly deteriorated chimney those defects feed one another: the water getting in at a failed crown or open flashing is what's spalling the brick below. Fix the masonry but leave the crown above it, and you've simply reopened the same water path. A true restoration seals every entry point on the stack in one coordinated, top-down sequence, so the result actually lasts instead of springing a new leak next season.
What's the order of work in a restoration, and why does it matter?
Top to bottom, following the path water takes. We rebuild the crown, then the spalled and displaced brick courses, then re-tuckpoint the joints worth keeping, then set the cap and flashing, and only once all of that is sound and dry do we flood-coat the entire stack with a breathable repellent. Sealing a deteriorated chimney first would just lock the damage inside, so the repellent is always the last step, applied over sound masonry.
Is my chimney a restoration or a full rebuild?
Restoration fits a stack that's badly deteriorated yet still standing, in plane, and structurally locatable; we renew the entire envelope rather than demolish it. If a Level 2 inspection finds collapsed, slumped, or out-of-plumb courses, that becomes a rebuild from the footing instead, and we'll tell you so plainly. And where the decay has reached the flue liner, relining folds into the restoration so the chimney comes back safe to burn, not merely sound to look at.
