Fast, Reliable Fireplace Services Across Highland Village
Fireplace service in Highland Village typically runs $150-$450 for standard repairs and $2,800-$5,500 for full insert replacements, with most appointments available same-day or next-day. We answer calls live at (844) 803-1545, and our technicians are usually on-site in Highland Village within two hours of booking.
We’ve been working the lakefront subdivisions of Highland Village since the mid-1980s, back when the city was still filling in between FM 407 and the shoreline. Russell Haines started this company in 1984, and our trucks have been pulling into driveways along Yacht Club Road, Highland Shores, and the neighborhoods off Justin Road for decades. We know the prefabricated zero-clearance fireplaces that dominate the 75077 housing stock, and we know how the persistent humidity off Lake Lewisville accelerates the rust, gasket failure, and moisture intrusion that inland DFW suburbs simply don’t see at the same rate. When your gas logs won’t light on the first cold snap of January, or your wood-burning insert starts drafting smoke into the living room, we’re already familiar with the specific unit in your home’s vintage.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Highland Village’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Highland Village developed almost entirely as a planned, high-income residential community between the mid-1980s and early 2000s. That means the vast majority of fireplaces we service here are factory-built prefabricated units now approaching or exceeding their 25-30 year rated service life. We’ve replaced and repaired enough of them to recognize the telltale failure patterns by manufacturer and installation decade.
Our reputation here is built on showing up when we say we will and documenting what we find. Every Level-2 camera inspection ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - no jargon, no scare tactics. The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job: if it’s not right, we come back, in writing, no arguing. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not a voicemail queue, not an app. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and complete most jobs in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
We’ve earned a strong local reputation across Denton County, and Highland Village homeowners specifically mention our thoroughness in reviews - the technician who noticed a rotted chase cover before it failed completely, the firebox repair that was finished in one afternoon, the gas fireplace service that finally solved a pilot light problem three other companies couldn’t diagnose. We’re not the cheapest option, and we don’t try to be. We’re the option that does it right the first time so you don’t have to think about it again.
Our Fireplace Services in Highland Village
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Highland Village sit unused for eight or nine months of the year, then get fired up hard during those sudden Arctic cold snaps that roll down from the plains. The combination of long dormancy and rapid heavy use kills pilot assemblies, degrades thermopiles, and cracks ceramic logs that have absorbed years of lakeside humidity. We service standing pilot and electronic ignition systems, replace worn ember beds and deteriorated gaskets, and verify gas pressure and venting integrity. Most gas fireplace service calls in Highland Village run $150-$280 and are completed in a single visit.
Wood Burning Fireplace
The wood-burning prefab units in Highland Village’s 1980s and 1990s subdivisions were never designed for the decades of use they’re now seeing. We inspect firebox panels, smoke chambers, and chimney connections for the cracking and warping that precedes a full failure, and our Chimney Repair in Highland Village addresses these issues before they become dangerous. Creosote buildup is a particular concern here - North Texas mild winters mean homeowners often burn at low temperatures that produce more residue than a hot, efficient fire would. A Level-2 inspection with camera documentation runs $225-$295 in Highland Village, and we show you exactly what we’re seeing.
Fireplace Insert
Many Highland Village homeowners added inserts to original prefab fireplaces for efficiency or aesthetics. These units have their own venting, clearances, and maintenance schedules, and they’re often installed by previous owners with documentation long since lost. We service and replace wood-burning and gas inserts from major manufacturers, and when a unit has reached end-of-life, we handle the full removal, re-framing, and installation of a new insert sized correctly for your existing firebox. Insert replacement in Highland Village typically ranges $2,800-$5,500 depending on unit size, venting requirements, and surround finishing.
Damper Repair
Damper failure is endemic in Highland Village, and the lake breeze is largely to blame. Moisture driven laterally into unprotected chases rusts throat dampers and warps top-sealing dampers far faster than in inland neighborhoods. A stuck or broken damper wastes energy year-round and can allow rain, animals, and conditioned air to move freely through your chimney. We repair and replace throat dampers, install energy-efficient top-sealing dampers, and address the moisture intrusion that’s causing the problem in the first place. Most damper repairs in Highland Village run $180-$340; full top-damper installation with waterproofing runs $450-$750.
Our Fireplace Services team also handles firebox repair and fireplace conversion for Highland Village homeowners looking to switch from wood to gas or vice versa. We also handle Chimney Cap & Crown in Highland Village and Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Highland Village when the underlying system needs attention beyond the fireplace itself.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Village
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from industry-trusted brands: HeatShield for refractory repair, Gelco for chase covers and caps, Olympia Chimney for liner systems, and Famco for termination hardware. We stock common replacement parts for the prefabricated fireplace brands most frequently installed in Highland Village’s 1980s-2000s housing stock, which means faster turnaround and fewer return trips. No builder-grade substitutes, no ordering delays while your fireplace sits unusable. When we specify a material, it’s because it will outlast the problem that brought us to your door.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Highland Village Homes
- Rusted prefab fireboxes in lakefront homes. Technicians working the subdivisions along Yacht Club Road and Highland Shores regularly find heavily rusted fireboxes and rotted wood chases where the chase cover has failed. The lake breeze drives rain laterally into unprotected chases in a way that purely inland neighborhoods rarely see, and by the time a homeowner notices water stains on the ceiling, the damage is extensive.
- Failed gaskets and seals from humidity cycling. Highland Village’s lakeside humidity degrades the gaskets around glass doors, ash dumps, and cleanout doors on a compressed timeline. These seals look fine in October and crumble by February, leaking air and creating draft problems that mimic far more serious chimney defects.
- Pilot light failures after long dormancy. Gas fireplaces that haven’t run since the previous winter often develop pilot assembly issues - spider webs in the orifice, thermopile degradation, or moisture corrosion in the control valve. The February 2021 freeze taught many Highland Village homeowners that their “working” fireplace actually wasn’t, and we still see the deferred maintenance from that event.
- Animal nesting in unused chimneys. Decorative gas-log and wood-burning inserts that go years between uses become prime real estate for birds, squirrels, and raccoons. We find nests blocking flues, damaged chase covers providing entry points, and in one case on Justin Road, a fully established squirrel colony that had chewed through a deteriorated firestop.

| Service | Typical Range in Highland Village |
|---|---|
| Gas fireplace tune-up and inspection | $150 - $220 |
| Gas fireplace repair (pilot, valve, log replacement) | $180 - $340 |

These ranges reflect Highland Village’s specific market - the prevalence of prefabricated units, the Denton County permit requirements for gas line modifications, and the access challenges in some of the city’s older lakefront subdivisions. Several factors can move a job toward the higher end: extensive rust requiring chase reconstruction, custom surround work for insert replacements, or the need to bring a long-neglected system up to current code. We provide no-hassle upfront pricing before any work begins, and our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up - essentially a Highland Village Chimney Cleaning & Sweep - is available for systems that just need a thorough inspection and cleaning. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 5% discount, and we offer $50 off any repair over $250.

FAQs - Fireplace Services in Highland Village
We typically arrive within two hours for scheduled appointments and offer same-day service for most fireplace issues in Highland Village. Our technicians live and work across Denton County, so we’re rarely more than twenty minutes from the 75077 area during business hours. Call (844) 803-1545 - a live person will answer and find the next available slot.
Yes, we service every Highland Village neighborhood from Highland Shores and the Yacht Club Road corridor to the subdivisions off Justin Road and FM 407. The lakefront properties actually represent a significant portion of our local work, given the accelerated moisture damage that lakeside humidity causes. We’re familiar with the access restrictions, HOA requirements, and specific fireplace models common in each area.
Yes, we provide emergency service for unsafe conditions - gas leaks, blocked flues causing smoke backup, or structural firebox damage that poses an immediate hazard. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ll dispatch a technician for genuine emergencies even outside normal hours. For non-urgent issues, we book the next available appointment to avoid after-hours charges.
Not meaningfully - our pricing is consistent across Denton County, though Highland Village’s prefabricated fireplace stock and lakeside moisture issues create a different repair profile than, say, Corinth’s older masonry homes. A damper repair might run similar in both cities, but Highland Village homeowners more often need chase cover and moisture-related work that Lewisville or Flower Mound see less frequently. We offer free second opinions on any written estimate, so you can compare with confidence.
Every fireplace service job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If anything we repaired or installed isn’t performing correctly within ninety days, we return and make it right at no charge. For new insert installations and major component replacements, manufacturer warranties from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and other brands provide additional long-term coverage. We’re in this for the long haul - we’ve been here since 1984 and plan to be here when your next service is due.
