Chimneys in Castle Hills
This is an older part of the metro: 63% of homes in this ZIP code were built before 1980. Fireplaces in houses that age are usually masonry: brick or stone around a clay tile liner. Ask the chimney company to say in writing whether the liner is cracked, since that changes both the safety call and the price.
56% of homes here are single-family detached houses, and 49% are owner occupied. 21% 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.

Questions
Do you cover all of Castle Hills?
Yes, including ZIP 78213. The chimney company that calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.
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.
