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 Broomfield runs $285-$1,850 depending on whether we’re securing a new cap against Chinook winds or rebuilding a cracked concrete crown. Most Broomfield appointments include a Level 2 camera inspection and written quote before any work starts. Call (970) 598-0453 to schedule.
Broomfield’s housing stock is different from Denver’s or Boulder’s. The city’s explosive buildout from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s means most homes have factory-built, zero-clearance prefab fireplaces rather than traditional masonry chimneys. These units are now hitting the 20-to-35-year range where refractory panels crack, metal fireboxes corrode, and manufacturer warranties expired years ago. Emberly Chimney Cleaners inspects and cleans these systems with the same NFPA 211 Level 2 camera documentation we apply to masonry flues - a practice we’ve maintained since 2009, long before insurers or regulators required it.
Why Broomfield Homes Are Different
At roughly 5,344 feet and positioned directly below the Rocky Mountain foothills, Broomfield sits in one of the most wind-exposed corridors on the Front Range. Chinook events push sustained gusts past 70 mph, physically destroying chimney caps and forcing combustion gases back down into living spaces. Neighboring cities on flatter, more sheltered terrain don’t experience this failure rate.
The elevation also reduces oxygen enough to produce measurably more creosote per cord burned compared to sea-level cities, accelerating annual buildup. Many homeowners in the Anthem and Broadlands neighborhoods swapped original wood-burning prefab units for gas log sets during the late-2000s and early-2010s without upgrading the liner, leaving unlined or mismatched flues that violate NFPA 211 and Colorado code. We find this condition on nearly every street in those communities.

BeforeAfterChimney Cap & Crown in Broomfield
Broomfield’s position in the Chinook wind corridor makes chimney cap and crown work our most frequent repair call. Factory-built and masonry chimneys alike lose caps to 70-plus mph gusts, and once the cap is gone, debris, moisture, and nesting animals enter the flue. Crown cracks follow quickly as water freezes in the concrete. Chimney Cap & Crown work here requires wind-rated hardware and proper counterflashing that cheaper installs skip.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cap is missing, visibly bent, or mesh sides are torn from wind impact.
What it costs in Broomfield
Cap replacement runs $285-$650 depending on flue count, mesh gauge, and whether we need a wind-rated anchor system.
How we do it
We measure the flue or crown footprint, fabricate or order the correct cap from Copperfield or Gelco stock, and secure it with stainless steel anchors rated for Front Range gusts.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see hairline cracks spreading across the crown surface, pieces flaking off, or water pooling instead of shedding.
What it costs in Broomfield
Crown repair ranges from $450 for crack sealing to $1,200 for partial rebuild with poured concrete and overhang restoration.
How we do it
We grind out damaged material, apply a bonding layer, pour new concrete with proper slope and drip edge, and seal with a waterproof crown coat.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Broomfield
| Item | Typical range in Broomfield |
|---|---|
| Single-flue cap replacement | $285 - $450 |
| Multi-flue cap with wind anchors | $480 - $650 |
| Crown crack repair and coating | $450 - $850 |
| Partial crown rebuild | $850 - $1,200 |
How long does a chimney cap last in Broomfield?
A properly installed stainless steel cap lasts 15-20 years, but Broomfield’s Chinook winds destroy poorly anchored caps in 2-3 seasons. We use through-crown anchors, not friction fit.
Can a cracked crown wait until next season?
Small cracks can be sealed if caught early, but freeze-thaw expansion through a Broomfield winter turns hairlines into structural failures. We photograph the crack progression so you can see the risk.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Broomfield
Broomfield’s conversion-era gas log installations left many prefab units with unlined or mismatched flues that violate NFPA 211. At 5,344 feet, incomplete combustion produces more creosote and carbon monoxide risk, making liner integrity critical. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work here often means bringing a 2008-era conversion up to current Colorado code.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Your prefab fireplace was converted to gas without a liner upgrade, or the existing liner shows gaps, corrosion, or disconnection at the collar.
What it costs in Broomfield
Stainless steel liner installation runs $1,800-$3,200 for a typical single-flue prefab system, including collar connection and top plate.
How we do it
We run a DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney stainless liner down the flue, secure it at the appliance collar and top plate, and pressure-test the connection before signing off.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
The upper chimney shows spalling brick, deteriorated mortar, or leaning that threatens liner integrity but the lower structure is sound.
What it costs in Broomfield
Partial rebuild from the roofline up typically costs $2,400-$4,500 depending on courses replaced and whether we reset or replace the crown.
How we do it
We dismantle damaged courses to solid substrate, lay matching brick with type-N or type-S mortar per exposure, and integrate a new crown with proper overhang and drip edge.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Broomfield
| Item | Typical range in Broomfield |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Flexible liner with insulation wrap | $2,200 - $3,800 |
| Partial rebuild (roofline up) | $2,400 - $4,500 |
Do I need a new liner for a gas insert?
Colorado code and NFPA 211 require a properly sized liner for every fuel type change. Most Broomfield conversions we inspect lack this upgrade. We camera-scan to confirm and quote in writing.
Can you line a factory-built fireplace?
Factory-built units require manufacturer-listed parts, not generic liners. We source Heat & Glo, Superior, or Heatilator components through our Haven network and document the listing compliance.
