Chimney, Fireplace, and Venting Services Built in New Braunfels Since 2012
Wolfman Chimney & Fireplace was founded right here in New Braunfels, and more than a decade later this is still where our company is headquartered. Our shop on IH-35 South sits at the center of the service area we know best, and it is where every truck, every technician, and every workday begins. For Comal County homeowners, working with Wolfman means working with a local team that lives in the same neighborhoods, drives the same roads, and understands what the Hill Country puts a chimney through over the course of a year.
We are owner-operated, family-built, and committed to honest work. The standards we hold ourselves to in New Braunfels are the same standards we carry into every other market we serve. The certifications stay current, the diagnostic approach stays thorough, and the answer to the question that drives every decision (how would I want this handled at my own house) sets the bar for the level of service homeowners can expect.
We Value
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Quality Craftsmanship
Why New Braunfels Homeowners Choose Wolfman Chimney & Fireplace
A Local Team With Hill Country Roots
Most of the chimneys we work on in New Braunfels were built for the climate they sit in: heavy summer sun, expansive clay soils that shift with the seasons, and long stretches of cycling heat that put steady pressure on masonry over time. Our technicians have spent years learning what those conditions actually do to a chimney here. The hairline cracks we look for, the crown failures we expect, the chase covers and caps that take the brunt of UV exposure, the ways flashing fails when storm-driven rain comes in sideways: this is the work we do every day, on the homes our neighbors live in.
A Diagnostic-First Approach
We do not believe in template fixes. A leak might trace to flashing, but it might just as easily come from a porous crown, a failing chase cover, or a missing cap. A smoky fireplace might look like a draft issue and turn out to be a partial blockage, a damper problem, or pressure dynamics inside the home. Our New Braunfels technicians are trained to identify the actual cause, document what they find with photos and notes, and recommend the repair that addresses the root issue. That is the difference between a one-time fix and a chimney that keeps failing in the same place every season.
Service That Stays With You
When you call us a year later, the technician at the door knows your system. Your inspection history, your previous repairs, the notes we made on conditions in your attic or your crown the last time we were out: it stays with the account, so the next visit picks up where the last one left off. New Braunfels customers stay with Wolfman for years because the work compounds. A relationship with a chimney company should make your system easier to maintain over time, not more complicated.
Built for Central Texas Conditions
A New Braunfels chimney is not the same as a chimney in the Northeast or Midwest. Up there, the work centers on snow loading and seasonal cold cycles. Here, it centers on heat cycling, UV degradation, and structural movement that comes with expansive clay soils. Summer after summer, crowns absorb 100°F-plus surface temperatures while the air below stays cooler inside the flue. That temperature difference creates expansion and contraction that opens hairline cracks and then widens them over time. UV exposure ages mortar and degrades sealants on chase covers on a timeline most homeowners do not see coming. Then, every few years, a hard freeze or a stretch of storm activity exposes the weak points all at once.
That is why a chimney sweep in New Braunfels needs to be looking at different things than a chimney sweep in a colder market. Our inspections are built around what actually fails in Central Texas, and our repair recommendations are scaled to the conditions your system has been living in. A crown that has been sitting in Hill Country sun for fifteen years should not be evaluated against the same baseline as a crown in a milder, wetter climate, and we do not treat it that way.

Wolfman is family-owned, and we put our clients’ needs and safety first. Our chimney professionals carry a deep set of certifications and credentials so that every New Braunfels customer is in the best possible hands:
