The work we take on

Everything a chimney needs,
under one roof.

Chimney sweeping, repair, liners, caps and the hearth itself. One family crew carries the whole job, and carries it carefully.

Chimney Sweep Visits

A proper chimney sweep visit: drop cloths down, brushes up the flue, creosote and soot hauled off, your hearth left ready for the season’s first match.

Free Look & Listen

A full chimney inspection: we climb up, run a camera down your flue, then sit and talk through what we saw. Costs you nothing, and nobody gets sold to.

Brick & Chimney Mending

Cracked brick, weepy flashing, mortar gone soft. Chimney repair done the way you’d mend a good fence: properly, so it holds for years.

Take a closer look

Liner Replacement

When old clay tiles give out, we fit a stainless chimney liner sized to your flue so the smoke draws up strong and steady again.

Take a closer look

Weather Caps

A sturdy, well-fitted chimney cap that shrugs off Douglas County hail, wind and snow, and politely turns away birds hunting for lodging.

Take a closer look

Crown Sealing & Rebuilds

The crown catches every storm that rolls off the Front Range. Chimney crown repair for the hairline cracks, rebuilds for the crowns past patching.

Take a closer look

Gas Fireplace Inserts

Warmth at the turn of a knob. We size and fit gas fireplace inserts for everything from old masonry hearths to builder-grade prefab fireboxes.

Take a closer look

Fresh Mortar Joints

Freeze and thaw nights pry old mortar loose a little more each winter. Honest brick tuckpointing: tired joints ground out, fresh color-matched mortar packed in.

Take a closer look

Firebox Tune-Ups

The firebox takes the hottest part of every fire. Firebox repair with fresh firebrick and refractory mortar, so the heart of your hearth stays sound.

Fireplace Fitting & Repair

From a balky pilot light to a whole new fireplace. Fireplace repair and installation for wood, gas or electric, explained in plain words.

Take a closer look

Lint Line Clearing

A packed vent is a slow fire waiting on a spark. Dryer vent cleaning from drum to outside hood, so laundry dries quick and worry-free.

Gentle Critter Evictions

Squirrels, birds and the occasional raccoon walked kindly out of your chimney, then the doorway capped and sealed so they board elsewhere.

Word from the neighbors

What folks say
over the fence.

Neighborly words from around Douglas County

“Keep the fire safe, tell the truth about it, and never rush. That is the whole business plan.”

- The Homestead team

Why neighbors keep our number

The homestead way:
do it right, once.

This town grew up around a stage stop where a traveler could count on a tended fire and a straight answer. We hold ourselves to that same porch-light standard: treat your place like our own spread, and never hurry the part that keeps a family safe.

A family outfit, truly

When you call, one of the Homestead family answers, never a call center. Whoever quotes your job is the one up your ladder.

Certified, still studying

Certified chimney folk who keep going back to school, so the old craft gets done to the newest safety codes.

We tidy up like guests

Drop cloths down first, the vacuum running throughout, and the only thing left behind is a safer flue.

The number is the number

A written quote before work starts, and the figure on the paper is the figure on the bill. No scare stories, ever.

Porch talk

Asked often,
answered plainly.

Wondering about something we did not cover? Pull up a chair and ring us, we will talk it through, no strings on it.

(720) 222-4772
My fireplace is a builder-grade prefab. Do you service those?
We sure do. A good share of the newer stucco subdivisions around Parker were built with prefab fireboxes, and we clean, inspect and mend them right alongside the old masonry chimneys. If a part has worn out, we hunt up the piece your exact unit calls for before any wrenches leave the truck bed.
Which Parker neighborhoods do you cover?
All of them. From Rowley Downs and Idyllwilde by downtown out to Stonegate, Stroh Ranch, Anthology and Canterberry Crossing, if your place says Parker, we are close. Most of our routes sit within a ten minute drive of the shop on Crown Crest Blvd, so same week visits are the rule, not the exception.
What should I do before the chimney sweep arrives?
Not much. Let the fireplace sit cold for a day if you can, lift anything breakable off the mantel, and leave us a little floor to spread drop cloths on. If you keep dogs or horses that fuss over strangers, mention it when we book and we will plan the visit around them.
How often should a chimney be swept in Colorado?
Depends how hard you burn. A hearth that runs most winter evenings builds creosote far faster than one lit a few times a season. Our honest rule: have somebody look up the flue once a year, and sweep when the buildup says so, not when a calendar does.
Will you try to sell me work I do not need?
No. We would sooner sit on your porch step and tell you the chimney is fine than invent a job. When something truly needs doing, you get plain words, photos of what we found, and a written number before any work starts.
Will a chimney sweep visit leave a mess in my living room?
Not in our house and not in yours. Drop cloths go down first, the vacuum runs the whole while, and the soot rides home with us. If you can tell we were there by anything besides a cleaner flue, we want to hear about it.
Why does my chimney smell like a cold campfire after rain?
That is rain finding its way to old creosote and waking it up. It usually points to a cap, crown or damper letting weather in, and it is worth a look before the smell settles into the furniture. The look costs you nothing, so call whenever it suits.

Hunting for something?

24+ pages in the haystack: services, porch stories, every neighborhood we keep, and the supply barn shelves.

See us at it

Come up the ladder with us.

Sweep visits, mending and fittings on Douglas County rooftops, filmed by the crew from the first cloth laid to the last handshake.

We started filming because a homeowner hardly ever gets to see the top of their own chimney. Now you can watch from the porch. What these clips show is exactly what your place would get, same hands, same pace, nothing dressed up for the camera.

- The Homestead team, Parker Homestead Chimney

Any part we carry up your ladder had to earn its place over our own family first. If the plainer cap does the job, the plainer cap is what lands on your quote. We would rather be the number your family keeps taped inside a kitchen cupboard for ten years than make one fat sale and never hear from you again.

The Supply Barn

Good gear,
fitted by our own hands.

Weather caps, liners, inserts, dampers and fans, each one something we would bolt onto our own place. Tell us what you have got and we will quote the part and the fitting together.

The barn holds 20-some more caps, vents, liners & inserts, describe your chimney and we will pull the right one off the shelf.

The neighborhoods we keep

All of Parker, street by street.

One town, tended properly. Every neighborhood here sits within about ten minutes of our shop on Crown Crest Blvd, and our trucks know each one by its chimneys.
