Most Lakeway fireplaces are gas, and most sit idle through a long, hot summer. Then the first cool front arrives and the pilot will not light. Our techs diagnose yours on the spot, fix it with real parts, and leave it lighting first try.

The six services Lakeway homeowners call us for most — from a gas fireplace that will not light after a long idle summer, to a new outdoor fireplace for the patio.

Fireplace Repair
Any fireplace, any failure — diagnosed first, then fixed with the right parts. In Lakeway that usually means an ignition system that sat idle through a long summer, or a burner insects moved into.

A fireplace in Lakeway is not fighting a long winter — it is fighting long hot summers sitting unused, dust and insects in the burner, storm debris, and the occasional hard freeze. This is what we find here, and what we check on every visit.
Most winters here are mild, which is exactly why a hard freeze catches Lakeway homes off guard. Poorly protected installs and tired valves fail when the unit is needed most, and a fireplace that has not been serviced in years rarely survives the coldest week. A fall inspection finds the weak points first.
Storm season drops limbs, leaves and roofing debris into open flues across Travis County, and strong wind over the roof can reverse a marginal draft and push smoke back into the room. We clear blockages, check the cap, and diagnose downdrafts by cause instead of guessing at parts.
In growing areas around Lakeway, red dirt and construction dust get everywhere — including inside burner compartments and pilot assemblies. Fine dust clogs orifices, coats sensors and makes flames lazy and yellow. A proper cleaning clears the burner, pilot and sensors, and restores a clean, steady flame pattern.
Long hot summers dry out door gaskets and bake mineral film onto gas fireplace glass in Lakeway. A tired gasket leaks exhaust past the door, and fogged glass only gets worse the longer it sits. We strip the film, test the seal, and replace gaskets before they become a safety issue.

Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a fireplace that lights when you click the remote.
Yes, do not keep trying to light it. Nest material blocks burner ports and pilot openings, which distorts the flame, delays ignition and can leave unburned gas in the firebox. We shut the unit down, clear the nesting safely, clean the ports and pilot, then test-fire it before it goes back into service.
If your fireplace has been serviced, a freeze is when it earns its keep. If it has not run in months, test it before the cold arrives — idle units often fail on the coldest night, when every company in Travis County is booked solid. A service visit ahead of the freeze beats an emergency call during it.
Strong wind over the roof can overpower a weak draft, especially with a missing or damaged cap, a partially blocked flue, or a short vent termination. The fix depends on the cause — clearing the flue, fitting a proper cap, or correcting the venting. We diagnose which one you have instead of selling parts at random.
Yes. Gas inserts and log sets go into existing fireboxes and are the most common conversion in newer Lakeway homes — sealed, remote-lit and far easier to live with than hauling wood. We measure your firebox, check the flue and venting, and walk through the options on a free estimate before any work starts.
Usually not. Remotes fail from dead batteries, a receiver that lost its pairing, or a worn wall switch, and all three are quick diagnoses. If the remote system checks out, the fault sits in the valve or ignition, and we trace it in the same visit and replace only the part that failed.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
