Trophy Club homeowners do not settle. The town was founded around what was supposed to be Ben Hogan’s signature country club, and that founding ethic — the pursuit of a better build, a better finish, a better detail — still shapes the way people care for their homes here. When a fireplace in The Highlands or a custom chimney along Trophy Club Drive needs work, it deserves a service company that operates by the same standard. That is the standard Prime Chimney Experts has held for nearly two decades. Every sweep, every reline, every masonry repair we perform in Trophy Club is executed by **CSIA-certified, NCSG-member, F.I.R.E.-trained** master sweeps and backed by our **lifetime workmanship warranty**. Call **682-226-6257** to schedule.

Trophy Club — Where Estate Standards Meet Family Living

Trophy Club is a roughly 13,000-resident incorporated town straddling the Denton-Tarrant county line, served by the highly regarded Northwest ISD and known for its rolling, lightly wooded topography around the original Trophy Club country club. The 76262 zip — shared with neighboring Roanoke and the western edge of Westlake — covers a striking range of homes: established estates in The Estates and along Indian Creek built in the late 1980s and 1990s, the more recent custom builds in The Highlands at Trophy Club, and pockets of newer transitional architecture rising on the few remaining estate-sized lots. Median home values comfortably clear $700,000, and a great many properties exceed seven figures. What unites these homes is the centrality of the fireplace. Trophy Club’s planning roots gave it generously sized lots, and most homes were designed around a great-room hearth, a covered-patio fire feature, or both. Many have multi-story stacked-stone chimneys with thirty-foot flues, copper-clad chase caps, and gas-fired log sets that owners depend on through North Texas’s surprisingly cold winters. These are systems that reward proper maintenance and punish neglect — and they are exactly the systems we are built to serve.

Why Trophy Club Chimneys Need Specialized Attention

Three patterns recur across Trophy Club homes. The first is age-driven mortar deterioration. The estates built in the 1990s are now thirty years old, and the lime-Portland mortar joints that looked perfect at year ten have begun to spall, especially on south- and west-facing exposures that take the brunt of Texas UV and freeze-thaw cycling. Tuckpointing with the wrong mortar — too hard, too cementitious — accelerates the damage. We use lime-compatible mortars matched to the original work, tooled the same way, colored to disappear into the existing wall. The second pattern is crown failure on newer custom homes. Many builders during the 2010s used trowel-applied “crown coat” products that look fine for five years and crack badly by year seven. We see them constantly across The Highlands. The repair is to demo the failed crown, pour a real cast-in-place concrete crown with a stainless drip edge sloped to shed water, and reseal flashing — and the work is warrantied for life. The third pattern is animal intrusion. Trophy Club’s wooded creek corridors and proximity to the lake mean raccoons, squirrels, and chimney swifts. An uncapped or improperly capped flue becomes a wildlife condo by spring. We perform humane removal, decontamination, and install custom-fitted spark-arrestor caps in stainless or copper to match the home’s metalwork. Call **682-226-6257** if you have heard scratching or smelled an animal in the flue.

Three Trophy Club Case Studies

**The Highlands at Trophy Club, 2014 custom build.** A homeowner on Skyline Drive noticed water staining on the great-room ceiling near the chimney. The builder had used a synthetic crown product that had failed at year nine, and the upper four courses of stone were saturated. We removed the failed crown, replaced two cracked stones with hand-matched material, repointed the upper courses with lime-compatible mortar, poured a cast-in-place concrete crown with a stainless drip edge, and resealed flashing on both sides. The repair carries our **lifetime workmanship warranty**. **The Estates at Trophy Club, 1996 home, primary fireplace.** The homeowner had stopped using the fireplace because of a smoke odor lingering in the home for days after each fire. A Level 2 video inspection revealed heavy creosote deposits in the smoke chamber and a smoke chamber that had never been parged smooth — a common builder shortcut from the 1990s. We performed a deep mechanical sweep, parged the smoke chamber to NFPA 211 standards, and installed a top-mount damper for better cold-start draft. The fireplace now drafts cleanly and the parging work is under warranty. **Indian Creek estate, multi-story stacked-stone chimney, animal intrusion.** Raccoons had taken up residence in an uncapped flue on the master-suite chimney. We performed humane removal (with a wildlife partner), decontaminated the smoke chamber and lower flue, swept thoroughly, and installed a custom copper spark-arrestor cap fabricated to match the home’s existing copper gutters. The animals cannot return, the flue draws perfectly, and the cap will outlast the home. Call **682-226-6257** to schedule yours.

The Master-Craftsman Process

Every Trophy Club appointment starts with a real conversation about what you are seeing and what the home’s history is. We schedule within the week — same day for active leaks or smoke events — and arrive on time, in marked trucks, with floor protection deployed before any tool comes out. Inspections follow the **CSIA** national standard, with full HD video documentation when the scope warrants it. You see what we see in real time on a tablet. Recommendations come in writing, with photographs, fixed pricing, and clear technical explanations — never with fear-based language or “while we’re up there” upsells. Repairs follow **NCSG** and **F.I.R.E.** technique standards and carry a **lifetime workmanship warranty** because we stand behind every joint, every flashing seam, and every crown pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

**How often does a Trophy Club chimney need to be swept?** Annually if you burn wood regularly, every two to three years for light wood use, and annually-to-biennially for gas log systems (gas produces less creosote but more corrosive byproducts that attack flues differently). A full Level 2 video inspection is recommended every three to five years. **What is the lifetime workmanship warranty?** Every repair we perform — masonry, relining, crowns, flashing, caps — carries a lifetime workmanship warranty to the original homeowner at the home’s address. If our craftsmanship fails, we return and make it right at no cost. **Are your technicians actually CSIA, NCSG, and F.I.R.E. certified?** Yes. Our leads hold active **Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)** certifications, we are members of the **National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG)**, and our crews are trained through the **F.I.R.E. Service Institute** — the three credentials that define master-level chimney work. **My builder used a synthetic crown coat and it is cracking. Do you fix those?** Yes — this is one of the most common Trophy Club repairs we make. We demo the failed product and pour a true cast-in-place concrete crown with a stainless drip edge, sloped properly, warrantied for life. **Can you remove animals from my chimney?** Yes. We perform humane removal in coordination with a licensed wildlife partner, decontaminate the system, and install a stainless or copper cap so the problem does not recur. **Do you work on very tall flues common on multi-story Trophy Club homes?** Yes. Thirty- to forty-foot vertical flues are routine for our crews — we have rotary power sweep equipment, full-flue camera scopes, and rooftop fall-protection rigging. **How fast can you respond to a leak or active smoke spillage?** Same week in most cases, same day for active water intrusion or active smoke into the home. Call **682-226-6257** and tell the dispatcher it is urgent.
