Grapevine’s residential inventory spans 100-plus years, and the reline scope adjusts to each era. **Historic-district scope** in the downtown overlay involves chimneys whose original clay tile is now ninety-plus years old. These tiles have outlived several generations of homeowners and are reaching their structural end. A stainless reline preserves the historic chimney envelope while bringing the venting system up to current code — the right answer when the masonry is sound and the tile is failed. Historic Preservation Commission review applies to any visible cap detail. **Mid-century 1950s-1960s scope** typically arrives via a wood-to-gas conversion, where the homeowner is replacing the original masonry firebox with a sealed-combustion gas insert and the manufacturer’s manual specifies a properly sized stainless liner per UL 1777. **Production-builder 1990s-2000s scope** is the most common — Level 2 inspection at sale finds clay-tile cracking on a chimney built during the boom-period construction wave, and the listing agent needs the reline complete and warranted in writing before the home goes active.Our Grapevine Relining Approach
Every reline begins with a Level 2 video inspection of every flue in scope. Tile condition, flue geometry, offsets, and termination detail are documented. Specification is sized per the appliance manufacturer’s installation manual and per UL 1777 listed-system instructions. Solid-fuel applications get **316Ti stainless**, titanium-stabilized, in heavy-gauge wall thickness above the UL 1777 minimum. Gas applications get **304 stainless** sized to BTU output. Every liner is wrapped in ceramic fiber insulation, joined with locking-band connectors, fitted to the appliance with a manufacturer-approved connector, and terminated at the cap with a sealed top plate. Rain caps are fabricated to match the architectural detail — historic chimneys may require a galvanized cap finished to a period-correct profile coordinated with the Historic Preservation Commission, mid-century chimneys typically receive galvanized in a low-profile design, production-builder estates receive caps matched to the existing trim. Every reline is photographed at every stage, registered in our warranty database, finished with the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty plus our lifetime workmanship warranty.Pricing for Grapevine
A single-flue 316Ti stainless reline for a wood-burning Grapevine fireplace runs $3,100 to $5,200. A 304 stainless reline for a gas insert runs $2,600 to $3,900. Two-flue scope runs $5,800 to $9,200. **Historic-district scope** with HPC review on cap fabrication adds $400 to $1,200 to the relevant scope. Every quote is line-itemed in writing with manufacturer’s lifetime liner warranty and PCE’s lifetime workmanship warranty included.Process and Permitting
A standard residential reline does not require a building permit under City of Grapevine code when no structural change is made to the chimney envelope. Wood-to-gas conversions where new gas piping is run require a mechanical permit. **Historic-district scope** requires HPC review for any visible cap change, coordinated by PCE. Standard timeline is two to three weeks from initial call to final walkthrough; historic-district scopes add two to four weeks for HPC review.Frequently Asked Questions
**Can a historic Grapevine chimney be relined without disturbing the historic detail?** Yes. The reline runs inside the existing flue and does not modify the chimney envelope. Only the rain cap is potentially visible, and it is fabricated to a profile coordinated with the Historic Preservation Commission. **What alloy do you install for a wood-burning Grapevine chimney?** 316Ti stainless, titanium-stabilized, rated for solid-fuel and chimney fire conditions, in heavy-gauge wall thickness above the UL 1777 minimum. Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty. **Do I need a reline for a wood-to-gas conversion?** Almost always. Sealed-combustion gas inserts require a properly sized stainless liner per the manufacturer’s installation manual. Going through the manual is the first step. **Is the reline warranty actually lifetime?** Yes. Manufacturer warrants the liner for life. PCE warrants installation labor for life. Both transfer to a buyer when the home sells. **Tile patch vs. full reline?** Isolated single-section tile damage can occasionally be patched. Multi-tile cracking, chimney-fire damage, or any code-compliance scenario benefits from a properly engineered stainless reline.Customer Review — Historic Downtown Grapevine
“Our 1922 home needed the original clay flue addressed and we wanted the work done by someone who would treat the historic detail with care. PCE inspected, specified a 316Ti reline that ran inside the existing envelope without changing the visible chimney, fabricated a galvanized cap profile that the HPC approved, and warranted the work for life in writing. The historic chimney still reads as historic. The fire draws cleaner than it has in decades.” — *T. Halberstam, Historic Downtown, Grapevine*Schedule Your Grapevine Chimney Reline
