About Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch
Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch, up I-10 in Kendall County and the Bexar County edge, hold about 25,908 homes with a median year built around 2006. Only 12% were built before 1980. The Hill Country is cooler and more wooded than the city, so wood-burning fireplaces and stoves are more common here than anywhere else in the metro, and so are outdoor fireplaces built of local limestone. Wood burned regularly means creosote builds up faster: plan on a yearly sweep, not just an inspection.

Chimneys in Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch
Most of the housing here is newer: 64% of homes were built in 2000 or later. That usually means a factory-built fireplace with a metal flue inside a framed chase, topped with a metal chase cover. Those covers rust and hold water, and a rusted one is a common source of leaks around the fireplace. Ask the pro to check it from the roof.
84% of homes here are single-family detached houses, and 82% are owner occupied. 30% of households heat mainly with gas, which also tells you how many gas lines run through these houses. If a gas log set or a gas line is involved, the gas work belongs to a licensed plumber in Texas. Gas fireplaces.
The airport station a few miles away averages 75.7 nights a winter at 45F or colder. The Hill Country side of the metro often runs a few degrees colder than the airport on a clear night, so expect a few more. Cold nights data.

What does a chimney sweep cost?
Homeyou's July 2026 national figures put a chimney sweeping at $135 to $393, about $274 on average, and Fixr puts typical chimney repairs at $250 to $1,200, about $750. There is no published San Antonio average we trust, and the price turns on the flue and how hard it is to reach, plus what the sweep finds. Get it in writing first.
When is the best time to book?
Late fall, before the first hard cold front, or early spring after the season. TPWD's guidance for sweeps is to delay cleaning at least 6 weeks for a chimney with eggs and at least 4 weeks for one with young, and that late fall, after the swifts have gone south, is the better time to clean.
