Hero
Most Keller relines are triggered by one of two events: a Level 2 inspection">Level 2 inspection has identified cracked clay tile, or a homeowner is converting from wood to a sealed-combustion gas insert and the new appliance specifies a stainless liner per UL 1777. Either way, the right answer is a properly engineered stainless relining system sized to the appliance, insulated, and terminated with a sealed top plate and rain cap fabricated to match the architectural detail. Prime Chimney Experts installs liner systems in 316Ti for solid-fuel and 304 for gas, with manufacturer’s lifetime liner warranty plus our own lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation.

CSIA Certified | NCSG Member Shop | F.I.R.E. Service Verified | BBB Accredited | 4.4 stars / 54 Google reviews | UL 1777 Compliant | Lifetime Warranty on Liner + Workmanship —Why Keller Chimneys Need Master-Craft Relining
Keller’s housing inventory was built mostly between 1998 and 2014, and the chimneys are now in the fifteen-to-twenty-five-year window where clay-tile failure becomes statistically likely. Three patterns drive our reline volume in 76244, 76248, and 76262. The first is **Level 2 pre-listing scope** — a Keller home going to market triggers a Level 2 inspection in the buyer’s contract, the camera finds tile cracking on one or two flues, and the listing agent needs the repair complete and warranted in writing before the home goes active. The second is **gas conversion">wood-to-gas conversion** — a homeowner converts a principal-room wood-burning fireplace to a sealed-combustion gas insert, and the new appliance manufacturer’s installation manual specifies a properly sized stainless liner per UL 1777 listed-system instructions. The third is **post-fire scope** — a low-temperature flue fire (the kind most homeowners never realize had occurred) crazes the tile surface and a Level 2 inspection identifies the resulting cracking. Every one of these scenarios calls for a master-craft installation, not a generic flex liner stuffed in from the top.Our Keller 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 before the reline specification is set 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, rated for solid-fuel and chimney fire conditions. Gas applications get **304 stainless** sized to BTU output. Every liner is wrapped in ceramic fiber insulation to maintain flue gas temperature and pull draft. Liners are cut to length, 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 of the chimney — galvanized with copper-style finish on traditional Keller homes, copper where the original was copper. Every reline is photographed at every stage, registered in our warranty database, and finished with the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty plus our lifetime workmanship warranty.

A single-flue 316Ti stainless reline for a wood-burning Keller fireplace runs $3,000 to $4,800, properly insulated, with a code-compliant top plate and rain cap. A 304 stainless reline for a gas insert runs $2,500 to $3,800. Two-flue scope runs $5,500 to $8,800. Every quote is line-itemed in writing. Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty on the liner and our lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation are both included.Process and Permitting
A standard residential reline does not require a building permit under City of Keller 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, coordinated with the licensed gas contractor. HOA architectural review applies in Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, and other Keller communities when the rain cap is visible from the street. Standard timeline is two to three weeks from initial call to final walkthrough.Frequently Asked Questions
**What alloy do you install for a wood-burning Keller 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 gas-insert conversion?** Yes. Sealed-combustion gas inserts virtually always require a properly sized stainless liner per the manufacturer’s installation manual. Going through the manufacturer’s spec is the first step. **Will the reline change how the fireplace draws?** A properly sized stainless liner with ceramic-fiber insulation typically draws better than a deteriorating clay tile flue. Sizing to the appliance per the manufacturer’s installation manual is critical. **Is the reline warranty actually lifetime?** Yes. The liner manufacturer warrants the liner itself for life. PCE’s lifetime workmanship warranty covers installation labor — joints, top plate, termination, cap fabrication. Both transfer to a buyer when the home transacts. **Tile patch vs. full reline?** Isolated single-section tile damage in a low-stress location can occasionally be patched. Multi-tile cracking, chimney-fire damage, or any code-compliance scenario almost always benefits from a properly engineered stainless reline.Customer Review — Marshall Ridge, Keller
“PCE relined our wood-burning fireplace flue after a pre-listing Level 2 found cracked tile. UL 1777-listed 316Ti stainless, ceramic-fiber wrapped, sealed top plate, cap fabricated to match the rest of the trim. Two and a half weeks from initial call to finished install. Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty plus PCE workmanship warranty in writing. The home transacted without a chimney concession.” — *D.
