From Timarron to the estates along FM 1709, we know the two-to-four-fireplace homes that define Southlake’s 76092 zip code - the formal living room hearth, the family room gas conversion, the master suite fireplace that hasn’t drawn properly since the house was built in 2003.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Southlake’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Southlake homeowners don’t hire twice. They remember the contractor who showed up late, the one who left soot on the travertine, the one whose “warranty” turned out to be a verbal shrug. We’ve built our reputation in Tarrant County the slow way - by doing the job right, documenting it with photos the homeowner can see, and backing it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, no arguing.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with a plain-English verdict, not a technical fog. You’ll see what we see: the cracked firebox corner in your Montclair-built home, the gas log set improperly vented through a wood-burning flue in a Coventry Manor original, the damper that hasn’t sealed since the 2011 drought shifted your chimney’s foundation. We explain it like craftsmen because that’s what we are.
Calls from Southlake reach our live dispatch, not a callback queue. Most jobs finish in a single visit with upfront pricing - the number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice. And because we stock professional-grade parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco, we’re not ordering components while your fireplace sits cold.
Russell Haines has led Hearthstone Chimney Co. since the beginning, and the company he built plans to be here in thirty more years. That changes how you treat every home.
Our Fireplace Services in Southlake
Gas Fireplace Service
Most Southlake gas fireplaces weren’t born gas. They started as wood-burning masonry units, then got retrofit with log sets during the 2000s renovation wave - a common shortcut that leaves original flue liners and dampers serving appliances they were never engineered for. We inspect the burner orifice, pilot assembly, and venting configuration against current NFPA 211 standards, and we’ll tell you straight if your Timarron home’s setup is safe or if it needs a proper liner and termination. A standard gas fireplace service in Southlake runs $180-$280.
Wood Burning Fireplace
North Texas winters are brief, so Southlake wood-burning fireplaces see sporadic use - a few evenings in January, maybe a February cold snap. That intermittent burning pattern doesn’t produce heavy creosote, but it creates a different problem: flues that stay cold and damp for months, inviting chimney swifts and squirrels to nest undisturbed. When you do light a fire, you may get smoke rollout, odd drafting, or that acrid smell of old moisture. Our wood-burning service includes a Level-2 camera inspection, damper function check, and firebox integrity assessment. Expect $220-$380 for a standard cleaning and inspection.
Fireplace Insert
Inserts are popular in Southlake’s larger homes where the original fireplace never heated the room efficiently. We install and service inserts from major manufacturers, ensuring the liner system is properly sized for your chimney’s height and the insert’s BTU output. A poorly lined insert in a two- or three-story Southlake home can overheat surrounding masonry or spill carbon monoxide. Our insert installations include full documentation with photos, and we back the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Insert service ranges from $250-$450; new installations with liner systems typically run $2,800-$4,200.
Damper Repair
The damper is the simplest mechanical part in your fireplace and the most neglected. In Southlake, Tarrant County’s expansive clay soils shift with seasonal moisture, stressing chimney crowns and throwing dampers out of alignment. A damper that won’t fully open risks smoke damage to your ceiling. One that won’t fully close bleeds conditioned air year-round, costing you on your energy bill in a 4,000-square-foot home. We repair or replace throat and top-sealing dampers, and we can show you the problem on camera before we quote. Damper repair in Southlake typically costs $280-$520.
Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to pad margin. Our trucks carry DuraFlex stainless liner systems, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing products, and Famco termination caps - the same components specified by manufacturers who warranty their own equipment. For Southlake homeowners, this means no waiting on special orders from Dallas distributors. When we identify a cracked crown on your outdoor fireplace or a failed firebox panel in your family room hearth, we repair it with parts rated for the application, not the closest thing on the shelf. That’s how a company stays in business for 42 years.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- Gas-log conversions through unlined wood flues. In neighborhoods like Montclair and Coventry Manor, original builders installed masonry fireplaces meant for wood, and subsequent owners added gas logs without updating the venting. The result is a flue too large for gas combustion, causing condensation damage and potential CO spillage.
- Outdoor fireplaces excluded from maintenance schedules. Southlake’s backyard living culture means many homes have second or third hearths on patios and pool decks. These structures collect leaf debris and nesting material - especially in Timarron, where mature canopy drops material year-round - yet homeowners rarely schedule them for the same annual service as interior units.
- Moisture-driven mortar decay from dormant flues. Because DFW winters are short, Southlake flues stay cold and damp for ten or eleven months annually. Without regular heat cycling to dry them, mortar joints and firebrick deteriorate faster than in climates with sustained burning seasons.
- Foundation stress from expansive clay soils. Tarrant County’s shrink-swell soils shift with rainfall patterns, cracking chimney crowns and separating step-flashing from rooflines. We inspect these interface points on every Southlake service call because the damage starts small and compounds.
