Fast, Reliable Fireplace Services Across Beverly Hills
Fireplace service in Beverly Hills typically runs $180-$650 depending on the repair, and most appointments are completed same-day by our Fireplace Services team. We’re based in Los Angeles and have been driving to Beverly Hills calls for over 42 years - long enough to know the difference between a 1920s Spanish Colonial flue in the Flats and a hillside estate system that needs spark arrestor compliance before the fire department clears it.
Our technicians carry HeatShield and Gelco parts on the truck, which means most repairs finish in one visit. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers - no voicemail, no callback queue. We’ll give you upfront pricing before we start, and every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Beverly Hills’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Beverly Hills isn’t like other cities we serve. The Flats south of Sunset - zip codes 90211 and 90212 - are packed with 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor estates with original clay-tile-lined masonry chimneys that crack and spall despite seeing minimal annual use. North of Sunset in 90210, hillside estates sit inside California’s High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where the Beverly Hills Fire Department enforces spark arrestor and chimney clearance rules that LA County doesn’t touch. We’ve handled both environments thousands of times.
Our reputation here was built on escrow-driven calls. In Beverly Hills’s fierce luxury real estate market, buyers’ agents and home inspectors regularly demand CSIA-level chimney condition reports as a closing condition on multi-million-dollar properties - often with 48-72 hour turnaround. We’ve met those deadlines for decades, and the listing agents remember who delivered.
Response time to Beverly Hills averages under 90 minutes during business hours. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document every inspection with photos you’ll see and a plain-English verdict you’ll understand. No jargon, no scare tactics, just the condition of your system explained the way a craftsman explains his work.
Russell Haines has led this company since 1984. That’s not a credential we trot out - it’s why we answer the phone with a live person at 2 AM when a hillside estate manager smells smoke from an outdoor hearth and needs someone who knows Beverly Hills Building & Safety permitting requirements, not LA City’s.
Our Fireplace Services in Beverly Hills
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Beverly Hills Flats homes often sit dormant for eight or nine months, then fire up for a December dinner party. That intermittent use pattern corrodes thermopiles, fouls pilot assemblies, and creates valve issues that a continuous-use system wouldn’t develop. We service all major brands, test gas pressure to manufacturer spec, and clean burner ports so your flame pattern looks the way it did when the home was staged. Most gas fireplace service calls in Beverly Hills run $180-$320 and finish in under two hours.
Wood Burning Fireplace
Beverly Hills’s mild Mediterranean climate creates a specific problem for wood-burning systems: sporadic, cold-start burns produce denser creosote than continuous-use chimneys. A homeowner in the Flats who lights three fires a winter builds up glazed creosote that a Midwest daily burner never sees. We remove it with rotary cleaning systems, inspect the clay tile liner for spalling, and check the damper operation - critical in 90210 hillside homes where the fire department checks spark arrestor function during compliance inspections. Wood burning fireplace service and our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly Hills combinations typically range $280-$450 in Beverly Hills.
Fireplace Insert
Insert installations in Beverly Hills require navigating the city’s independent permitting authority - separate from LA City, separate from LA County. We’ve pulled hundreds of permits through Beverly Hills Building & Safety and know the inspection timeline. For hillside estates with multiple hearths, we regularly spec Olympia Chimney liner systems sized to each flue’s exact dimensions, and our team handles Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills when existing structures require restoration. Insert work with liner installation runs $2,800-$4,500 depending on access and whether the existing firebox needs refractory repair.
Damper Repair
Cast iron throat dampers in 1920s-1940s Beverly Hills homes seize, warp, or rust through after ninety years of intermittent use. We replace them with stainless steel top-sealing dampers from Gelco that stop conditioned air escape - a real concern in 90212 homes with high ceilings and aggressive HVAC systems. Top-sealing damper installation, including removal of the old throat damper, typically costs $380-$550 in Beverly Hills. We also handle Chimney Cap & Crown in Beverly Hills when water intrusion has damaged the damper mechanism.
Firebox Repair & Fireplace Conversion
Refractory panels in prefabricated fireboxes crack from thermal shock - common in Beverly Hills where “seasonal use” means heating a cold mass rapidly. We rebuild with HeatShield refractory mortar or replace panels to factory spec. For homeowners converting wood to gas, we run new gas lines, install approved burners, and handle the permit. Firebox repair ranges $450-$950; full conversions run $1,800-$3,200. When flue damage extends beyond the firebox, we also perform Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Beverly Hills to complete the system restoration.
Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly Hills
We stock professional-grade parts from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney on every Beverly Hills truck - not because it sounds impressive, but because a hillside estate call with four fireplaces shouldn’t wait two weeks for a liner component. HeatShield handles refractory restoration in original masonry fireboxes without full rebuilds. Gelco top-sealing dampers solve the energy loss problem that old throat dampers create in high-ceilinged Flats homes. Olympia Chimney supplies UL-listed stainless liners we size to each flue’s exact dimensions, critical when Beverly Hills Building & Safety inspects the installation. Famco and Copperfield components round out our inventory for cap and spark arrestor work. When we say we’ll complete most jobs in a single visit, having the right parts on the truck is what makes that true.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Beverly Hills Homes
- Cold-start creosote glazing in the Flats. Those 1920s clay-tile chimneys with decades of infrequent use accumulate a hard, shiny creosote layer that standard brushing won’t touch. We use rotary polypropylene whips to remove it without damaging fragile tile.
- Seized throat dampers in original construction. Ninety-year-old cast iron doesn’t survive decades of coastal moisture and disuse. We document the corrosion with photos and replace with stainless steel top-sealing units you can operate from the firebox.
- Spark arrestor failure on hillside estates. Santa Ana winds push debris, leaves, and embers directly into unprotected flue openings in 90210. Missing or damaged arrestors aren’t just a code violation - they’re how brush fires start in the High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
- Escrow inspection surprises. A Beverly Hills real estate transaction often reveals that the “working fireplace” the listing described has a cracked liner, missing cap, or backdrafting issue. We provide documented condition reports with photos that satisfy buyers’ agents and home inspectors.
