Chimney Installation in Colorado
Professional chimney installation across Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. Family-owned since 1998 · Licensed & insured · Open 24/7.
About This Service
New chimney installation serves new construction, additions, and homes gaining their first wood stove or fireplace — a complete venting system engineered from appliance to termination. We build both traditional masonry chimneys and modern insulated Class-A metal chimney systems, each where it makes sense.
Design drives everything: flue sizing to the appliance, height for draft and code, routing through the structure, clearances, and a termination detailed for Colorado wind and snow. A chimney designed right on paper is the one that drafts right for the next fifty years.
Signs You Need Chimney Installation
- New construction or an addition includes a fireplace or stove
- Adding a wood stove where no flue exists
- Replacing a removed chimney with a modern system
- A shop, garage, or outbuilding needs heat venting
How We Work
Every project starts with assessment and photos — decisions from evidence.
Scope and pricing in writing before work begins; no surprises mid-job.
Work performed to code by trained, insured technicians.
Final walkthrough and documentation; 24/7 reachability if anything comes up.
Why It Matters for Safety
Everything we do traces back to two risks: fire and carbon monoxide. Codes, inspection standards, and our own procedures exist to keep both where they belong — and 24/7 availability means the urgent version of either always has someone to call.
Maintenance Tips From Our Technicians
- One annual service visit prevents most emergencies we see.
- Keep a simple file: inspections, sweeps, repairs — it compounds in value.
- Changes in smell, draft, or sound are the system communicating; call early.
- Our line answers 24/7 — the middle-of-the-night question is always welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Masonry or metal chimney — which should we build?
Masonry offers permanence and traditional looks at higher cost; insulated Class-A metal systems install faster, perform excellently, and can be chased to look traditional. Appliance, budget, and architecture decide it — we build both and will lay out the honest tradeoffs.
How tall does a chimney have to be?
Code's shorthand is the 3-2-10 rule: at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and 2 feet taller than anything within 10 feet horizontally. Wind exposure and appliance specs sometimes call for more — draft physics gets the final vote.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully. Donovan Chimney & Fireplace carries the licensing and insurance this work requires, and certificates are available on request — something we recommend asking of any company that climbs on your roof.
