Hero
Westover Hills is the smallest ultra-elite enclave in Tarrant County — a 0.7-square-mile town of fewer than 700 residents tucked west of Camp Bowie Boulevard, with a residential inventory dominated by 1920s-1940s period architecture and median home values comfortably above $5 million. The chimneys here are not chimneys. They are pieces of period architecture — Tudor Revival brick, Spanish Colonial Revival stucco-and-stone, Georgian Revival cut limestone — finished by master craftsmen working at the top of pre-war Texas residential construction. When one of these chimneys needs work, the homeowner is looking for a master mason who understands period restoration: matched lime-rich mortar, period-correct brick or stone matching, careful coordination with whatever historic-detail consultants the property maintains. Prime Chimney Experts has the bench to deliver that work. Every masonry repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty. Call **682-226-6257**.Trust Bar

Westover Hills was platted in the 1920s as the most exclusive enclave in Fort Worth, and the residential inventory reflects that origin: Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, French Eclectic, and the occasional grand-scale Craftsman, virtually all built between 1925 and 1955 by the master architects and master masons of pre-war Texas. The chimneys are integral architectural elements — multi-flue stacks tied into steeply pitched slate or clay-tile roofs, finished with carved limestone caps, hand-shaped brick chimney pots, decorative metalwork. A typical Westover Hills chimney is now eighty-plus years old. The original lime-rich mortar has reached the predictable end of its service life; original brick may have spalled at individual units; original limestone caps may have hairline cracking from eight decades of weather exposure; original copper or galvanized flashing has long since aged out. The repair scope is rarely simple — it requires period-correct material matching, often custom fabrication, almost always coordination with whoever maintains the property’s architectural archive, and execution by master masons who recognize that this is preservation work, not production repair. The right repair on a Westover Hills chimney looks invisible from the curb the day after the scaffold comes down. That is the standard. Anything less reads as wrong against the rest of the property.Our Westover Hills Repair Approach
Diagnosis on a Westover Hills estate is its own scope. A CSIA-certified master technician arrives with a Chim-Scan camera, drone for high-stack imaging, moisture meter, and inspection sheet. We photograph every defect at insurance-claim resolution, document existing detail with detailed measurement and photography for material matching purposes, and produce a line-item written estimate with full restoration scope notes within 72 hours given the complexity. Stack height routinely requires scaffold or boom-lift access for full diagnosis. Mortar mix is matched on site to the original lime-rich specification. Period brick from the 1920s-1940s is softer and more porous than modern brick — modern Type N or Type S mortar would cause the brick face to fail. Period-correct lime-rich mortar at the Portland-to-lime ratio of the original work is the right answer. We match color, texture, sand, and pigment as carefully as the original mason did. Brick replacement is sourced from period salvage — reclaimed brick from contemporaneous Fort Worth and Dallas demolition sites. Limestone cap replacement is custom-fabricated from a Hill Country supplier capable of carving the original profile. Copper detailing is coordinated with master coppersmiths capable of matching original detail and patina. Flashing replacement is full step-and-counter in copper, never galvanized. Crowns are rebuilt to NFPA-compliant geometry without disturbing the visible historic profile. Every detail is photographed before close-out and registered in our warranty database.

Westover Hills’ building code requires a permit for any masonry work modifying the historic envelope, which we pull on the homeowner’s behalf. The town’s design review process is informal but rigorous — visible exterior changes are coordinated with the town planning office and frequently with the property’s architectural archive consultant. Custom limestone or copper fabrication adds six to twelve weeks of lead time depending on the supplier; we sequence procurement against the work calendar. Standard timeline is six to ten weeks for targeted period repair, twelve to twenty weeks for mid-scope rebuild, twenty to forty weeks for full restoration including custom fabrication.Frequently Asked Questions
**Can you do work that meets Westover Hills design standards?** Yes. We have completed period chimney restorations on Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Georgian Revival estates in Westover Hills. Our scopes are coordinated with the town planning office and with whatever architectural archive consultant the property maintains. **Do you source period-correct brick for matching repairs?** Yes. Reclaimed period brick from contemporaneous 1920s-1940s Fort Worth and Dallas demolition sites is sourced through salvage yards we have worked with for years. Match is rarely perfect on eight-decade-old brick but it is close enough that the repair reads as original. **Can you custom-fabricate limestone cap detail?** Yes. We coordinate with custom limestone fabrication shops in the Hill Country capable of carving original profiles to match. Lead time six to twelve weeks. **Will the repair require scaffolding or boom-lift?** Yes on most Westover Hills estate stacks. Stack heights and the period architectural detail require scaffold or boom-lift for both diagnosis and repair. **Are your master masons actually qualified for period restoration?** Yes. Our master masonry foreman has eighteen years on Tarrant County period restoration work. Every PCE technician carries CSIA certification. Foremen also carry F.I.R.E. credentials. Credentials and references verifiable.Customer Review — Westover Hills
“Our 1929 Tudor Revival’s main chimney needed a comprehensive period restoration — original lime-rich mortar had finally aged out, two limestone cap stones had hairline cracking, and the copper detailing on the chimney pot had separated. PCE coordinated with our architectural archive consultant, sourced reclaimed period brick from a Fort Worth salvage yard, custom-fabricated replacement limestone from a Hill Country shop, and brought in a master coppersmith for the chimney pot detail. The work took twenty-eight weeks and finished invisible from the curb. The lifetime workmanship warranty was issued in writing. Three winters later, exactly as it should be.” — *A.
