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 Jonestown, TX
Chimney repair in Jonestown usually means one of three things: a cracked crown from a hard Hill Country freeze, a rusted-out cap clogged with mountain cedar, or a flue liner that’s been deteriorating quietly for years. Ashton Chimney handles all three, along with the sweep work that finds the problem early and the dryer vent work most chimney companies ignore. We’ve served Jonestown since 2014, and most of our calls from 78645 come from lakeview homes where wind, humidity, and cedar do more damage than fire ever does. Call (855) 507-9184 when you’re ready to know exactly what’s happening above your firebox.
Why Jonestown Homes Are Different
Jonestown sits on the north shore of Lake Travis, and that shoreline position changes how chimneys age. The same limestone that makes the hills scenic holds onto moisture, and when a February freeze hits after a humid January, exterior masonry crowns and flue tile joints take the brunt. We see more freeze-thaw crown cracks on Jonestown inspections than on our Cedar Park calls, simply because lake air keeps masonry wet longer before a cold snap arrives. Homes here span a wide range: 1970s Hill Country customs, lakeview cabins that became full-time residences, weekend and short-term rental properties, and newer builds on limestone lots. The older stock often has exterior chimney stacks fully exposed to lake wind and afternoon sun, which accelerates mortar erosion. The newer builds tend toward direct-vent or manufactured systems that still need annual maintenance but fail differently. A large share of Jonestown chimneys sit unused for months at a time, which means our inspections here are as much about catching neglect and moisture intrusion as they are about creosote buildup. Cedar pollen season runs December through February, and it’s remarkable how completely mountain cedar can clog a chimney cap screen in a single season. Add lake-blown debris on windy days and you have a recipe for draft problems that have nothing to do with how often you burn.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Jonestown Services
Most Jonestown homeowners call us first for one of two things: a chimney that needs a real cleaning and inspection, or a dryer vent that hasn’t been touched since the dryer was installed.
Chimney Sweep in Jonestown
A proper sweep in Jonestown means more than running a brush up the flue. We inspect the cap and screen for cedar clogging, check the crown for freeze-thaw cracks, look at flashing where the stack meets the roofline, and remove creosote or debris from the smoke chamber and firebox. For lakeside properties, we pay close attention to exterior masonry condition because lake moisture cycles hit exposed stacks hard. If you haven’t had the chimney looked at in a few years, or you just bought a Jonestown home and don’t know its history, this is where you start. Chimney Sweep in Jonestown covers the full scope of that service.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jonestown
Dryer vents collect lint, and lint is fuel. Jonestown homes with long vent runs, especially in remodeled cabins where the laundry was relocated, often have more bends than the dryer was designed for. That means more lint accumulation at the turns. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, check for blockages at the cap, and tell you if the vent material itself should be replaced. It’s the same fire-safety standard we apply to chimneys, applied to a vent most homeowners forget exists. Full detail is on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jonestown.

Chimney Repair in Jonestown
Repair work in Jonestown is shaped by two local realities: the housing stock and the weather. Homes built between the 1970s and early 2000s make up most of our repair calls, and many of those have masonry fireplaces with exterior stacks that have faced forty-plus years of Hill Country sun and lake wind. Add the freeze-thaw pattern that hits limestone-heavy ground harder than inland towns, and you get cracked crowns, spalling brick, and flue tiles that loosen at the joints. Ashton Chimney handles the full repair scope, including Chimney Repair on liners, caps, crowns, and flashing. We name the products we install, so you know exactly what’s going into your home.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see rust through the cap, the mesh screen is torn or missing, or birds, squirrels, and cedar debris are getting into the flue.
What it costs in Jonestown
Cap installation in Jonestown typically runs $190 – $370 depending on flue size and whether the old cap needs cutting off.
How we do it
We measure the flue, match the cap material to your chimney type, remove the old cap if one exists, and secure the new one with the appropriate fasteners and sealant.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, the screen is so clogged with mountain cedar that airflow is restricted, or the cap no longer fits securely.
What it costs in Jonestown
Replacement in Jonestown falls between $160 – $330, with the labor for removing a deteriorated cap usually included in that range.
How we do it
We remove the old cap carefully, inspect the flue top beneath it, and install a correctly sized replacement rated for wood, gas, or dual-fuel use.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your flue tiles are cracked or separated, you’re converting to a wood stove or gas insert, or an inspection finds spalling and missing mortar joints.
What it costs in Jonestown
A new stainless liner for a Jonestown home typically falls between $1,400 – $2,500 for most single-story flues, with taller or difficult-access stacks running higher.
How we do it
We take exact flue measurements, select the correct DuraFlex liner system for your fuel type, run the liner down the flue, and connect it to the appliance collar with proper terminations at the top.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water staining on the ceiling or walls near the fireplace, or the metal flashing at the roofline is lifting, corroded, or missing sections.
What it costs in Jonestown
Flashing repair in Jonestown ranges from $350 – $600 on average, though full replacement around a complex roofline can exceed that.
How we do it
We remove the damaged flashing, inspect the underlying decking, and rebuild the layers so water hits metal and sheds away from the stack instead of finding a path in.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown has visible cracks, is crumbling at the edges, or water is pooling on top of the chimney instead of draining off.
What it costs in Jonestown
Crown repair in Jonestown typically runs $325 – $650 for a crack fill and reseal, while a full crown rebuild on a damaged stack starts around $800 and can exceed $1,200.
How we do it
We inspect the crown for structural integrity, remove loose material, and either apply a high-quality crown coat or form and pour a complete new crown with the correct overhang to shed water.

How do I know if I need a chimney liner replacement or just a repair?
You need an inspection first. Cracked flue tiles can sometimes be addressed with HeatShield resurfacing instead of a full liner replacement, and that’s a significantly less invasive option. We’ll show you camera footage from your actual flue so you can see the condition yourself.
Can a cracked chimney crown wait a year?
No, and here’s why: every freeze-thaw cycle Jonestown gets will force that crack wider. Water that gets in now means more expensive masonry work in twelve months. Crown repair is one of the cheapest fixes we do, and it prevents the expensive ones.
Brands We Service in Jonestown
We stock and install Copperfield caps and dampers, DuraFlex stainless liner systems, and HeatShield resurfacing materials. Parts for most common Jonestown repairs are already on our trucks, which means most crown, cap, and flashing jobs finish in one visit. See the full list on our brands.

— Nisha Patel"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
