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 Dacono, CO
Chimney repair in Dacono usually means one of two very different jobs: chasing cracked mortar and loose flashing on a masonry chimney, or figuring out what’s actually inside a builder-grade fireplace that hasn’t seen much use. Dacono packs both kinds of homes into a few square miles, so we show up ready for either. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience, and we handle the sweep, the inspection, and the repair under one roof. Call (866) 361-5660 to set up a visit.
Why Dacono Homes Are Different
Dacono sits on the high plains of Weld County, northeast of Denver, and the housing stock swings hard from one lot to the next. You’ll find older single-family and manufactured homes on larger rural parcels, plus newer tract subdivisions built during the town’s recent growth spurt. The older places tend to have wood stoves and masonry chimneys carrying real soot and creosote. The newer ones often have factory-built or gas fireplaces that need less sweeping but more inspection, since a flue that never got properly checked at installation can hide problems for years.
The climate does its own damage. Cold, dry winters mean a long heating season and steady wood-burning demand. Wind-driven dust and dry air dry out creosote fast, which makes it brittle and more prone to cracking, and the high winds common on this stretch of the plains push debris and downdrafts into flues that aren’t capped properly. Masonry takes a beating too, especially on chimneys that face the prevailing wind across open ground.
One practical reality shapes every appointment here. Dacono is small enough that no dedicated chimney sweep is based in town, so service gets routed in from Longmont, Brighton, or the Denver metro. That makes each visit a scheduled, distance-driven trip. It’s worth knowing exactly what kind of chimney you own before you book, because bundling a sweep, an inspection, and a cap or liner assessment into one visit saves you a second call-out to 80514.

Our Main Dacono Services
Most Dacono homeowners call us for one of two things: a yearly chimney sweep, or a dryer vent cleaning that has gone too long.
Chimney Sweep in Dacono
A sweep here starts with figuring out what you’re burning in. On the older rural properties around Dacono, that’s often a wood stove or a masonry fireplace with seasons of creosote built up, and the sweep has to remove it without damaging aged flue tile. On newer builds, the job leans toward inspection: confirming a factory-built or gas fireplace was installed correctly and venting the way it should. Either way we clean the flue, check the firebox and damper, and look at the cap and crown while we’re up there. For the full rundown, see Chimney Sweep in Dacono.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dacono
Dryer vents are the piece most homeowners forget until the dryer starts taking two cycles to finish a load. In Dacono’s newer subdivisions, vents often run long distances through exterior walls, which gives lint more places to settle. In the older homes, flexible foil or plastic duct behind the dryer is common, and that material traps lint and can sag or crush. We pull the lint out from both ends, check the exterior hood and damper, and confirm air actually moves. Details live on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dacono page.
Chimney Repair in Dacono
Chimney Repair is the work that matters most in Dacono, because the town’s two housing eras fail in two different ways. Older masonry chimneys on the rural lots crack at the crown and pull away at the flashing after enough freeze-thaw cycles, while newer builder-grade fireplaces often need a closer look at the liner and cap before anyone trusts them for a real fire.
High-plains wind and dry air speed up the damage. Mortar joints that look fine in summer open up over a cold winter, and a crown that has hairline cracks lets water in, which then freezes and widens the crack. Left alone, that chain runs from the crown down into the flue. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience reading exactly that kind of wear, and because repair lives alongside cleaning, a problem found during your sweep gets fixed before we leave rather than handed off to a second contractor and a second trip out to Dacono.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You need a cap if the flue is open to the sky, if birds or squirrels have gotten in, or if you’ve noticed downdrafts pushing smoke back into the room on windy days.
What it costs in Dacono
Cap installation typically runs $175 to $450 in Dacono, depending on the flue size and the style of cap.
How we do it
We measure the flue, set a stainless or galvanized cap sized to the opening, and anchor it to the crown so high-plains wind can’t lift it.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A rusted, dented, or missing cap, or one that has started rattling in the wind, means the old cap has done its time.
What it costs in Dacono
Replacing a cap usually falls between $200 and $475 in Dacono, with mesh and multi-flue configurations at the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the old cap and hardware, inspect the crown and flue top while it’s exposed, then install the new cap and confirm it’s square and secure.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You need a liner when the existing flue tile is cracked, spalling, or missing joints, or when a new appliance is venting into a flue that was never sized for it.
What it costs in Dacono
Liner installation typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 in Dacono, and the estimate depends on length, diameter, and whether the old flue needs prep work first.
How we do it
We measure and clean the flue, specify a DuraFlex liner system sized to the appliance, then insulate and set the liner with proper top and bottom connections.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water staining on the ceiling near the chimney, rust on the flashing, or daylight where the roof meets the chimney all point to flashing trouble.
What it costs in Dacono
Flashing repair usually runs $250 to $700 in Dacono, and full replacement at a roof transition sits at the upper end.
How we do it
We lift and reset the flashing, seal the joints between chimney and roof, and confirm water runs away from the chimney rather than behind it.

Do Dacono chimneys need a cap if the fireplace is rarely used?
Yes. An unused flue is still an open pipe to the weather, and cap keeps out rain, debris, and animals. Call (866) 361-5660 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Can you repair a cracked crown without replacing the whole chimney?
In most cases yes. Crown repair rebuilds the top surface and seals it, which is far less work than a rebuild. Call (866) 361-5660 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Dacono
We work with DuraFlex liner systems and HeatShield resurfacing because those materials are specified for your flue, not chosen because they’re easiest to source. Gelco and Copperfield components come into play on caps and accessories. Take a look at our brands to see the full lineup. If a part needs ordering, turnaround is typically quick.

What Dacono Customers Say
"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
- Carlos Herrera"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."
- Doug Delaney"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."
