Hero
A Westover Hills reline is preservation work as much as it is engineering work. The chimney is a piece of pre-war Texas residential architecture — Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival — and the reline must bring the venting system up to current NFPA 211 and UL 1777 standards without disturbing any of the period architectural detail visible from the property. Prime Chimney Experts handles this with care, installing 316Ti stainless liner systems sized to the appliance, fabricating period-discreet termination caps coordinated with whatever architectural archive consultant the property maintains, and finishing the work with manufacturer’s lifetime liner warranty plus our own lifetime workmanship warranty.

Westover Hills’ housing inventory was built mostly between 1925 and 1955, with original clay tile that has now been in service for seventy to ninety-plus years. The structural end-of-life on that tile arrived some time ago, and most Westover Hills chimneys carry tile that has cracked at multiple sections, has been through at least one low-temperature flue fire in its long history, and is no longer a code-compliant venting envelope under NFPA 211. A reline is the right repair on a Westover Hills period chimney for two reasons. First, it preserves the historic masonry envelope — the visible chimney from the curb is unchanged, and the historic architectural detail is fully retained. Second, it brings the venting system up to current code with a properly engineered, lifetime-warranted UL 1777 stainless system. The challenge on a Westover Hills reline is termination detail. The original cap on a 1929 Tudor Revival chimney pot is part of the architecture and absolutely cannot be replaced with a generic stamped-galvanized rain cap. Our reline scope on these properties always includes a period-discreet termination — copper, custom galvanized, or in some cases a fabricated cap that nests inside the original chimney-pot detail without changing the visible profile.Our Westover Hills Relining Approach
Every reline begins with a Level 2 video inspection on every flue in scope. Stack heights routinely require scaffold or boom-lift for proper inspection. Tile condition, flue geometry, offsets, and termination detail are documented in advance of the reline specification. For these period chimneys we install **316Ti stainless**, titanium-stabilized, in heavy-gauge wall thickness above the UL 1777 minimum, rated for solid-fuel and chimney fire conditions. Every liner is wrapped in ceramic fiber insulation, joined with locking-band connectors, fitted to the original masonry firebox with a manufacturer-approved connector, and terminated at the cap with a sealed top plate. Termination cap detail is coordinated with the property’s architectural archive consultant or with the town planning office. We custom-fabricate cap profiles in copper or galvanized to match the period architectural detail and to nest invisibly into the existing chimney-pot or carved-limestone cap. Lead time on custom cap fabrication runs four to ten weeks depending on the shop’s queue. 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 reline on a Westover Hills period chimney runs $7,500 to $14,500 because of stack-height access, period-discreet termination fabrication, and architectural-archive coordination. Multi-flue scope on a Tudor Revival or Spanish Colonial Revival estate runs $14,000 to $28,000. Every quote is line-itemed in writing with liner alloy and gauge, insulation, custom termination fabrication, scaffolding/boom-lift, and architectural-archive consultation broken out. Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty on each liner and PCE’s lifetime workmanship warranty on installation.Process and Permitting
A residential reline does not require a building permit under Westover Hills code unless the chimney envelope is structurally modified — which on a period-discreet reline it is not. The town planning office reviews any visible exterior change including termination cap fabrication. Architectural archive consultant coordination is standard. Standard timeline is six to ten weeks from initial call to final walkthrough, accounting for custom cap fabrication and design review.Frequently Asked Questions
**Will the reline change the visible chimney from the curb?** Only at the termination cap detail, which we custom-fabricate to nest invisibly into the existing period architecture. On most properties the reline is functionally invisible from the curb after final walkthrough. **Do you coordinate with architectural archive consultants?** Yes. Westover Hills properties typically maintain detailed architectural archives, and we coordinate any visible-exterior change with the property’s consultant of record. **What alloy for a wood-burning Westover Hills 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. **Will scaffolding or boom-lift be required?** Yes on most Westover Hills estate stacks. Stack heights and the period architectural detail require scaffold or boom-lift for both diagnosis and reline installation. **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, custom cap fabrication. Both transfer to a buyer.Customer Review — Westover Hills
“Our 1933 Spanish Colonial Revival’s main flue had cracked tile from a chimney fire we had no record of, and we needed the reline done without disturbing the carved limestone cap or the chimney pot detail. PCE custom-fabricated a copper termination that nests inside the existing chimney pot and is invisible from the property. Eight weeks from initial call to final walkthrough. Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty plus PCE workmanship warranty in writing. The chimney still reads as 1933 from the curb.” — *E. Whitcombe, Westover Hills*Schedule Your Westover Hills Chimney Reline
