Beverly sits on Salem Sound, and that coastal position shapes what goes wrong with chimneys here. The salt-laden air, the hard nor’easter freezes, the century-old brickwork - these aren’t abstract concerns for us. We’ve cleaned flues in Beverly Farms, replaced crowns on Hale Street, and relined chimneys in Ryal Side that were still serving coal-era fireplaces. When we arrive at your door, we already understand the house you’re living in.

Why Beverly Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We’ve been serving Massachusetts homeowners for over 42 years, and our Beverly customers tend to stay with us. Many found us after a bad experience with a price-cutting chain or a one-truck operator who wouldn’t answer the phone once the job was done. They stay because we document every inspection with photos they can see, explain what we found in plain English, and put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing with no arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We offer no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Beverly residents also appreciate that a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a chimney backs up smoke on a Sunday evening or a cap blows off in a February storm, you reach someone who can dispatch help, not a recording telling you to call back Monday.
We work throughout Beverly, from the waterfront homes near Beverly Harbor to the historic properties along Cabot Street and the hillside neighborhoods of Montserrat. Wherever you are in 01915, we know the road.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Beverly
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Our standard sweep removes creosote, soot, and obstructions from the flue, followed by a Level-1 visual inspection. For Beverly’s older chimneys, we often recommend upgrading to a Level-2 camera inspection to check for hidden cracking or salt-driven mortar deterioration that a visual exam can’t catch. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly.

Chimney Repair
Beverly’s freeze-thaw-salt cycle destroys mortar joints and crowns faster than inland communities. We repoint deteriorated brickwork, rebuild crowns with proper overhang and drip edges, and replace corroded flashing using professional-grade materials. Every repair is documented with before-and-after photos. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Beverly.

Fireplace Services
We service and repair wood-burning fireplaces, gas inserts, and hearth systems. Many Beverly homes still have original coal-era fireplaces converted to wood or gas - these require careful assessment to ensure safe venting through flues that were never designed for modern appliances. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Beverly.

Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper cap and crown are your chimney’s only defense against Beverly’s wind-driven rain and salt air. We install stainless steel and copper caps from Famco and Olympia Chimney, along with poured or pre-formed crowns that shed water correctly. No more water pooling on a flat, cracked crown.

Chimney Liner & Rebuild
Beverly’s oversized coal-era flues often need relining for modern, efficient appliances. We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners and HeatShield cerfractory flue sealant systems, sized correctly for your appliance and documented with photos. When a chimney is beyond repair, we rebuild with matching brick and proper engineering.

Why Beverly’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Beverly’s position on the Massachusetts coast creates a chimney maintenance environment unlike anything a few miles inland. The city absorbs the full brunt of North Atlantic nor’easters, which drive wind-pushed rain directly into flue openings and mortar joints. That moisture then freezes hard during the cold snaps that follow, expanding and cracking masonry. In Danvers or Middleton, a chimney crown might last fifteen years. In Beverly, exposed to this freeze-thaw-salt cycle, we’ve seen unprotected crowns fail in seven.
The salt-laden marine air is the less visible threat. Chimneys in waterfront neighborhoods like Beverly Farms are constantly bathed in aerosolized salt that accelerates mortar joint erosion and corrodes metal flashing, caps, and dampers far faster than inland. This isn’t theoretical - we’ve opened flues in Beverly Farms where the damper had corroded to the point of seizing, and where mortar joints had receded half an inch, creating gaps that let combustion gases leak into wall cavities. Homeowners here need inspections focused specifically on salt-driven spalling and mortar deterioration, not just creosote buildup, because coastal exposure creates a separate and often faster failure mode.
The housing stock compounds these issues. Beverly’s late-Victorian and early-20th-century multi-story homes, many built between the 1880s and 1930s, feature large multi-flue brick chimneys originally designed to serve coal furnaces and fireplaces simultaneously. These flues are frequently oversized for modern gas appliances or wood stoves, which creates draft problems and accelerated creosote condensation. The large “summer estate” homes in Beverly Farms are a particular case - many were used seasonally for decades, then converted to year-round occupancy. Their chimneys may have been dormant for years and are frequently found with significant hidden creosote glazing or structural cracking that hasn’t been addressed because owners assumed low seasonal use meant low risk. It doesn’t.
Regular cleaning and proper inspection frequency - annually for wood-burning systems, biennially for gas - catches these problems before they become expensive or dangerous. In Beverly, “regular” means something stricter than the national standard.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Beverly
A standard chimney sweep and Level-1 inspection in Beverly typically runs $189 to $249, while a Level-2 camera inspection with photos and a written report ranges from $289 to $329. Larger homes, steep roofs, or chimneys that haven’t been serviced in several years may fall toward the higher end. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free estimate - we’ll ask a few questions about your chimney and give you a firm number.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for all chimneys, with cleaning as needed based on creosote accumulation. In Beverly, we suggest annual cleaning for wood-burning systems and at minimum a biennial Level-2 inspection for gas systems, given the accelerated mortar and metal deterioration from coastal salt exposure. The freeze-thaw cycle here is simply harder on chimneys than inland communities. If you’re unsure when yours was last serviced, it’s worth scheduling an inspection now.
Yes - salt-driven spalling and mortar erosion are among the most common problems we address in Beverly’s waterfront neighborhoods. We repoint deteriorated mortar with matching historic lime-based mixes where appropriate, rebuild or seal crowns to shed water, and replace corroded caps and flashing with marine-grade stainless steel or copper from Famco and Olympia Chimney. Every repair is photo-documented and covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (844) 803-1545 to schedule an inspection.
For most of Beverly’s late-Victorian and early-20th-century chimneys, targeted repair is far more economical than full replacement - and usually preferable for preserving historic character. Repointing, crown rebuilds, and stainless steel relining typically cost 30% to 60% less than teardown and reconstruction. We only recommend rebuild when the structural integrity is compromised beyond safe repair, and we’ll show you the photos so you can see why. Our free second opinion offer applies if you’ve been told you need a rebuild and want confirmation.
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we prioritize blocked or smoking chimneys as safety emergencies. If you’re in Beverly or the immediate North Shore area, we can often dispatch a technician same day or next day depending on current schedule and weather conditions. Don’t run the fireplace until we’ve assessed it - a smoking chimney can indicate a dangerous blockage or flue damage. Call (844) 803-1545 now.
