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.

Chimney cap and crown work in Tysons Corner runs $375-$1,900, and liner replacement or rebuild starts at $2,900.

If you live in the residential pockets ringing Tysons Corner, call (240) 220-9395 and we’ll put a camera down the flue before recommending a dollar of work.
Why Tysons Corner Homes Are Different
Tysons Corner is one of America’s most aggressively urbanizing edge cities. The new high-rise towers inside the core run gas-only or no fireplace systems at all. The wood-burning chimney work sits almost entirely in the adjacent McLean and unincorporated Fairfax County residential pockets, where 1960s-1980s brick colonials and split-levels routinely have two or more masonry fireplaces that go years without service while renovation budgets chase kitchens and additions instead.
Northern Virginia’s humid subtropical climate delivers 20-30 nights below freezing every year. Those repeated freeze-thaw cycles spall mortar joints on chimney crowns and crack clay flue tiles. It’s worse on north- and east-facing chimney faces, where morning moisture lingers well into winter days and then freezes again at night. Many of those chimneys are now serving gas-log conversions they were never rated for. And a fair number of late-1960s and 1970s colonials near Tysons were built with factory-built zero-clearance fireplace inserts that owners have always assumed were masonry. Those units are 45-55 years old now, well past rated service life, and Fairfax County inspectors have flagged them as a fire-safety category requiring full system documentation before any cleaning certificate gets issued.
Our Main Tysons Corner Services
These are the three services Tysons Corner homeowners call us about most. Each has a dedicated Tysons Corner page with full pricing and local detail.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Tysons Corner
A standard sweep removes creosote and soot before it reaches Class III and turns into a chimney fire. In Tysons Corner, we work on a lot of flues that haven’t been opened in years, which means we document everything with the camera before and after. Full pricing, service details, and what the photo record includes are on the Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Tysons Corner page.
Chimney Repair in Tysons Corner
Freeze-thaw cycles in this area break down mortar joints, crack crowns, and let water into the masonry. We repair what the camera shows needs repairing, and you see the photos before and after. The Chimney Repair in Tysons Corner page covers spalling, crown repair, flashing, and firebox work with local price ranges.
Fireplace Services in Tysons Corner
Many Tysons-area homes have gas-log conversions sitting inside flues that were built for wood. That’s a safety mismatch worth documenting. We also handle conversion planning, gas-log setup, and zero-clearance inspection and documentation for Fairfax County requirements. Details and pricing are on the Fireplace Services in Tysons Corner page.

BeforeAfterChimney Cap & Crown in Tysons Corner
The cap and crown are your chimney’s roof. In Tysons Corner, where brick colonials from the 1960s and 1970s dominate the residential streets, original mortar crowns crack under decades of freeze-thaw cycles and water gets behind the brick, causing spalling, staining, and eventually liner damage. A proper Chimney Cap & Crown job stops that before it starts, and the difference between a $400 cap and a $1,900 multi-flue cap plus crown coating is something we show you with photos before quoting anything.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals in the flue, see debris falling into the fireplace, or notice rust staining down the chimney face.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Cap installation in Tysons Corner typically runs $375-$700 depending on flue size and chimney height.
How we do it
We measure the flue, install the cap, and photograph the finished job from the roof.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see cracks in the cement crown at the top of the chimney or white mineral stains running down the brick face.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Crown repair in Tysons Corner typically runs $875-$1,500 depending on crack depth and square footage.
How we do it
We grind out the damaged mortar, build a new crown with proper overhang and drip edge, and document it all with photos.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Tysons Corner
| Item | Typical range in Tysons Corner |
|---|---|
| Cap installation | $375-$700 |
| Crown repair | $875-$1,500 |
| Multi-flue cap | $600-$1,900 |
How do I know if my crown needs repair or replacement?
A crown with hairline cracks can often be sealed. A crown that’s crumbling or spalling needs full replacement. We show you the difference with camera photos before quoting.
Can a chimney cap improve my gas-log draft?
Sometimes, yes. A proper cap reduces downdraft by controlling the flue opening. Call (240) 220-9395 and we’ll evaluate yours.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Tysons Corner
Clay-tile liners from the 1960s and 1970s are now serving gas-log conversions they were never rated for, and freeze-thaw cycles have opened cracks that let heat and carbon monoxide escape into the house. A stainless steel Chimney Liner & Rebuild job brings the system back to what the code requires. We run the camera down, show you the cracks, and quote a written price before anyone starts work.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
You have a gas-log conversion in a clay-tile flue, or the camera scan finds cracked tiles and missing mortar joints.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Stainless liner installation in Tysons Corner typically runs $2,900-$5,800 depending on flue height and diameter.
How we do it
We install an insulated stainless liner matched to the appliance, anchor it at the top, and document the full run with photos.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
The top five to ten courses of brick are spalling or loose, or the smoke chamber is damaged while the rest of the structure is sound.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Partial rebuild in Tysons Corner typically runs $3,200-$7,500 depending on how many courses need replacement.
How we do it
We tear down the damaged section, rebuild with matching brick, repoint the joints, and photograph the work at each stage.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Tysons Corner
| Item | Typical range in Tysons Corner |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $2,900-$5,800 |
| Partial rebuild | $3,200-$7,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,000-$18,000 |
Do I need a new liner for a gas-log conversion?
Often, yes. Clay tiles built for wood can’t handle gas exhaust temperatures safely when cracked. We’ll show you the camera footage before recommending anything.
Can a partial rebuild save me money over a full rebuild?
If the damage is confined to the upper courses, yes. We quote partial work only when the camera confirms the rest is sound. Call (240) 220-9395 for a written price.
