Call (844) 803-1545

Highland Park sits just north of downtown Dallas, bordered by Mockingbird Lane to the south and Northwest Highway to the north. When a Blue Norther rolls through and half the homes on Beverly Drive and Preston Road fire up fireplaces that haven’t run since last February, our phones light up. We’re familiar with the town’s permit process, its century-old masonry, and the particular way these estate homes were built. Call (844) 803-1545 - a live person answers, any hour.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Highland Park’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company

We’ve worked on homes along Armstrong Parkway and in the Hackberry Creek watershed area long enough to know what we’re walking into. A typical Highland Park call isn’t a single fireplace in a ranch house. It’s three masonry fireplaces in a 1928 Tudor, or a converted gas-log system in a Mediterranean estate on Lakeside Drive where the original firebox is showing its age.

Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. If the flue tile is spalling, we’ll show you. If it’s surface staining that doesn’t need immediate action, we’ll tell you that too.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A real person who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician, most of whom complete the job in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing.

Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 1984.

Our Fireplace Services in Highland Park

Gas Fireplace Service

Most Highland Park estates converted their original wood-burning masonry to gas logs decades ago, but the valve assemblies, thermocouples, and venting systems still demand annual attention. We service direct-vent, vent-free, and B-vent configurations, and we stock replacement parts from Famco and Copperfield so we’re not ordering components while your fireplace sits cold. A standard gas fireplace service in Highland Park runs $180-$320. If the burner needs replacement or the gas line requires modification, expect $450-$780.

Wood Burning Fireplace

The original wood-burning fireplaces in Highland Park’s 1920s-1940s homes were built as showpieces, with oversized fireboxes and multiple flues sharing a single chimney structure. These systems need more than a quick sweep. We inspect for creosote buildup, check the damper seal, and evaluate whether the original terracotta flue liner can still contain a chimney fire. Given that these fireplaces often sit idle ten months a year, the first cold snap reveals problems that developed unseen. Our Fireplace Services team documents everything with camera footage.

Fireplace Insert

When an original masonry fireplace has deteriorated beyond practical repair, a fireplace insert installed into the existing firebox can restore function without rebuilding the chimney from the ground up. In Highland Park, where historic preservation matters and homeowners intend to stay for decades, inserts from trusted manufacturers let you keep the original mantel and surround while gaining modern efficiency. Installation typically ranges $2,800-$4,500 depending on liner requirements and whether the existing chimney needs modification. We also handle Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Highland Park when the existing flue won’t support a standard insert connection.

Damper Repair

A stuck or rusted damper wastes heated air year-round and can let smoke back into the room when the fireplace is in use. In Highland Park’s humid subtropical climate, cast-iron dampers corrode faster than in drier regions, and the oversized flues common to estate homes mean a poorly sealing damper costs more in energy loss. Repair or replacement runs $280-$520. Top-sealing dampers, which seal at the flue top rather than the throat, run $650-$890 installed and solve both the draft and energy-loss problems.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Park

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - the brands that other chimney professionals specify for their own homes. For Highland Park customers, this means faster turnaround because we’re not sourcing parts from a warehouse across the state. When we arrive for your appointment, we typically have what we need to finish the job that day. Done right - and we stand behind it.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Highland Park Homes

• Multi-flue chimney deterioration. Highland Park’s concentration of 1920s-1940s luxury estates means technicians routinely service homes with two, three, or even four original masonry fireplaces per property, all sharing century-old terracotta flue tile systems that are increasingly prone to spalling and mortar joint failure. Unlike the postwar tract neighborhoods of surrounding Dallas, nearly every job here involves multi-flue inspection and the very real possibility of recommending full relining on original clay tile that has never been replaced.
• Seasonal surge failures after Blue Northers. Highland Park’s winters are mild enough that most fireplaces sit idle 9-10 months a year, but the region’s sudden cold fronts - where temperatures can plunge 30-40°F within hours - trigger simultaneous heavy use of fireplaces that haven’t been fired since the prior winter, creating an acute seasonal window when creosote blockages and debris-filled flues become fire hazards virtually overnight.
• Gas conversion complications. Many Highland Park homeowners converted wood fireplaces to gas logs in the 1980s and 1990s without updating the chimney liner or cap, leaving undersized or deteriorated venting that can’t handle modern gas appliance output safely.
• Permit pathway confusion. Because Highland Park maintains its own fire marshal and building inspection department entirely separate from Dallas, chimney relining and repair permits here go through Town of Highland Park channels rather than Dallas city hall - a code-pathway detail that out-of-area contractors consistently get wrong and that delays work for homeowners expecting Dallas permit timelines. We file correctly the first time.
