Fast, Reliable Fireplace Services Across Beverly
Fireplace service in Beverly, MA typically runs $150-$650 depending on whether you need a routine gas fireplace tune-up or full firebox reconstruction, and most appointments are completed same-day. We’re Hearthstone Chimney Co., and we’ve been driving to Beverly since 1984 - long enough to know which chimneys on Rantoul Street were built for coal and which ones on Hale Street have already been converted once. A live person answers our phones at (844) 803-1545, every hour of every day, and our technicians are usually in Beverly within the hour when you need us.
Beverly’s late-Victorian housing stock and direct exposure to Salem Sound create fireplace problems you won’t find in inland Essex County. Salt air eats mortar. Oversized flues from the 1890s struggle with modern inserts. We’ve rebuilt fireboxes in Beverly Farms homes that sat dormant for sixty summers before their owners moved in year-round. That specific experience is why our Fireplace Services team documents every inspection with photos you’ll see and a plain-English verdict you’ll understand.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Beverly’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
We’ve worked on fireplaces within sight of Beverly Harbor for over four decades. That longevity means something in a city where contractors come and go. Our technicians know the difference between a 1920s Craftsman fireplace in Ryal Side and a converted summer estate chimney in Beverly Farms without pulling out a map.
Beverly homeowners call us back because we show up when we say, explain what we found in plain English, and leave a written report with photos. The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every job - if it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, no arguing. No paperwork to dig up. No runaround.
Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. When your gas fireplace won’t light on a February evening and the temperature’s dropping toward single digits, you reach someone who can dispatch a technician to Beverly tonight.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most fireplace repairs in a single visit. No-hassle upfront pricing means the number on your estimate matches the number on your invoice. We’ve been burned by contractors ourselves. We don’t operate that way.
Our Fireplace Services in Beverly
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Beverly’s 1880s-through-1930s housing stock are often retrofitted into chimneys never designed for them. The flue may be oversized, the liner may be incompatible, and the salt air from Salem Sound corrodes burner assemblies and pilot assemblies faster than you’d expect inland. We perform level-2 camera inspections on every gas fireplace service call in Beverly to verify liner integrity and venting performance before we touch the burner. A typical gas fireplace tune-up in Beverly runs $150-$275. If we find a failed thermopile, corroded gas valve, or deteriorated flex connector, repair costs usually fall between $280-$550.

Wood Burning Fireplace
Wood burning fireplaces in Beverly face a triple threat: coastal salt accelerating mortar spalling, North Atlantic nor’easters driving rain directly down flue openings, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack unprotected crowns. The large multi-flue brick chimneys common in Beverly Cove and downtown were built for coal and often draft poorly with modern wood-burning practices. We inspect for creosote glazing, which builds faster in oversized flues, and for hidden structural cracking in fireboxes that have absorbed decades of coastal moisture. Beverly Chimney Cleaning & Sweep for wood burning fireplaces typically costs $225-$325. Firebox repair or partial rebuilding runs $850-$2,400 depending on access and the extent of salt-driven deterioration.

Fireplace Insert
Fireplace inserts are popular in Beverly’s older homes because they solve the draft problems inherent in oversized coal-era flues. But an insert installed without proper relining is a liability, not an upgrade. We’ve removed inserts in Beverly Farms homes where the original clay liner had cracked from thermal shock, creating a direct path for combustion gases into living spaces. Our insert installations include DuraFlex or HeatShield relining sized precisely to the appliance, with documentation photos at every stage. A complete fireplace insert with professional relining in Beverly generally runs $3,200-$5,800. We also handle insert removals and reinstallation when you’re renovating.

Damper Repair
Damper failure in Beverly is often salt-driven. The cast iron or steel throat damper in a chimney exposed to Salem Sound marine air corrodes, seizes, or warps until it won’t open fully or seal properly. A stuck-open damper wastes heat; a stuck-closed damper risks smoke backup or carbon monoxide intrusion. We repair and replace throat dampers and install top-sealing dampers from Famco and Copperfield that close at the chimney crown, keeping rain and salt air out of the flue entirely. Damper repair in Beverly typically costs $180-$340. Top-sealing damper installation runs $450-$750 including the cap-damper assembly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly
We stock professional-grade parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Famco, and Copperfield - brands we specify because they survive in coastal conditions like Beverly’s. DuraFlex liners handle the thermal cycling of insert conversions in oversized flues. HeatShield resurfacing restores eroded fireboxes without full rebuilds when the structure is sound. Famco and Copperfield caps and dampers resist the salt corrosion that destroys lesser hardware in three to five years on the waterfront. We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to shave costs. The part we install is the part we’d want in our own chimney on Hale Street.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Beverly Homes
- Salt-driven mortar spalling in waterfront chimneys. Chimneys in Beverly Farms and along the harbor absorb salt-laden marine air that accelerates mortar joint erosion far faster than inland. We inspect for spalling that looks minor from the ground but has already compromised the wythe between flues.
- Freeze-thaw crown cracking after nor’easters. Beverly’s position on the coast means wind-driven rain saturates chimney crowns, followed by hard freezes that expand trapped moisture into cracks. This cycle compresses crown lifespan to 8-12 years here versus 15-20 inland.
- Hidden creosote glazing in converted seasonal estates. The large 19th-century summer homes in Beverly Farms often had chimneys that sat cold for decades. Low-temperature fires in poorly lined flues create glazed creosote that’s nearly impossible to remove with standard brushing and poses serious fire risk.
- Draft reversal in oversized coal-era flues. Many Beverly chimneys were built to serve both a coal furnace and a fireplace simultaneously. That volume is wrong for modern appliances, causing smoke rollout, poor combustion, and accelerated creosote condensation in wood-burning units.
