Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Beverly Hills, CA
Chimney repair in Beverly Hills usually starts with a camera inspection because the problems on these homes are rarely visible from the hearth. We work on Spanish Colonial, Tudor, and Mid-Century estates built between the 1920s and 1970s, where fireplaces were architectural statements, not heating systems. That means decades of intermittent use, original clay tile flues, and mortar joints that have quietly deteriorated. Ontario Chimney has served Beverly Hills since 2014 and handles everything from a cracked crown to a full liner replacement. Call (833) 467-7685 for a documented inspection.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Beverly Hills housing stock skews old and large. The dominant homes are Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Mid-Century Modern builds from the 1920s through the 1960s, many with multiple masonry fireplaces and original clay tile flues. Those flues were built for wood burning, but most have been converted to gas log sets over the years or simply left dormant. The mortar in those original flues is soft now, and we regularly find cracked firebox mortar, rusted dampers, and animal debris that has been sitting for decades. A quick sweep does not address any of that.
The climate matters too. Beverly Hills has a warm, dry Mediterranean pattern with mild winters and a long fire season. Chimneys here get used a handful of evenings a year, which sounds low-maintenance, but intermittent use lets creosote and soot sit for years. Dry Santa Ana winds and the canyon brush fire risk in the 90210 area make a clean, unobstructed flue and a functioning spark-arrestor screen a genuine safety concern, not a formality. We also deal with estate gates, long private driveways, and restricted hillside access in the canyon areas, so scheduling and equipment staging are part of the job before we even set up a ladder.
Beverly Hills enforces a strict municipal code, and high-dollar homes mean homeowners rightfully want documentation. Our reports include camera evidence, so you see exactly what we see before any repair is recommended.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
Most Beverly Hills homeowners call us for one of two things: a thorough chimney sweep on a fireplace that has not been properly maintained, or dryer vent cleaning on a system that has been ignored for years. Both are fire-safety services at their core.
Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills
A chimney sweep in Beverly Hills rarely ends at brushing soot. Many of these fireplaces are configured for gas log sets or were converted from wood, so a sweep call often turns into a safety inspection of gas connections, damper blocks, and venting. We sweep the flue, remove creosote and debris, and document the condition of the liner, firebox, and damper with camera footage. If we find cracks, blockages, or animal nesting, we show you the evidence and explain your options without pushing work you do not need. For the full scope, see our Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills
Dryer vents in Beverly Hills homes are often long runs hidden behind walls, especially in older estates where the laundry room was added long after the house was built. Lint accumulates, airflow drops, and the dryer works harder. The NFPA points to dryer vents as a leading cause of house fires, and cleaning them is maintenance, not optional. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow, and document the before and after. It is a standalone service for us, not an add-on. Details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills page.

Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills
Chimney repair in Beverly Hills is usually about restoring an older masonry system that has not been opened up in decades. The original clay tile flues in these 1920s-1960s homes lack modern liners and have soft, crumbling mortar, while the wet-dry cycle of California weather has worked on crowns and flashing for years. We start every repair with a camera inspection, show you the footage, and only recommend work the chimney actually needs. Chimney Repair is our core trade, handled by the same trained technicians from inspection through completion.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Rain water streaking down the damper, animal noise in the flue, or visible rust on an old cap are clear signs a new cap is overdue.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
A standard stainless steel cap with installation typically runs $200 to $500, depending on flue size and roof access on hillside properties.
How we do it
We measure the flue, install a properly sized cap with a spark-arrestor screen, and secure it for the wind exposure common in the canyon areas.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A corroded cap with holes, missing spark-arrestor mesh, or a cap that has blown off entirely means replacement is the only fix.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Replacing an existing cap generally costs $200 to $500, matching new installation rates since the old unit is removed and the flue checked.
How we do it
We remove the failed cap, inspect the flue top for damage, and install a replacement from the professional-grade brands we stock.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Cracked clay tiles, gaps between tile sections, or a liner that has deteriorated to the point of exposing the masonry behind it all call for relining.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
A new stainless steel liner system in Beverly Hills typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 depending on flue length, home height, and access from gate to roof.
How we do it
We run a camera first to size the liner, then install a DuraFlex flexible liner system sized to the existing flue, including proper termination at the top.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water staining on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall in the firebox area, or visible gaps in the metal flashing at the roof line all point to flashing failure.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Flashing repair in Beverly Hills typically runs $300 to $700 depending on the roof pitch, the condition of the existing flashing, and whether the chimney penetrates a tile or composite roof.
How we do it
We remove the failed flashing, repair any damaged mortar underneath, and install new flashing sealed with a high-quality sealant rated for the exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A cracked or crumbling concrete crown lets water into the chimney chase, and you will often see efflorescence or spalling brick below the crown line.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Crown repair or replacement typically runs $400 to $900 in Beverly Hills, depending on crown size and how much of the old concrete must be removed.
How we do it
We remove the failed crown material, install a properly sloped replacement, and ensure the flue tile or liner extends above the new crown.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $200 – $500 |
| Flashing repair | $300 – $700 |
| Crown repair | $400 – $900 |
Costs above include labor and materials. Hillside access, a steep roof pitch, or a chimney that requires scaffolding to reach will push a job toward the top of the range. Before any work begins, we agree on a flat price so there are no surprises once we are on the roof.
Can you repair a chimney without replacing the whole liner?
Yes, in many cases we can. If the liner has minor cracks or gaps, HeatShield ceramic resurfacing often restores the flue to a code-compliant condition without a full tear-out. We will show you the camera footage and explain both options before you decide.
How long does a chimney repair take in Beverly Hills?
Most cap, flashing, and crown repairs are finished in a single visit, typically 2 to 4 hours. Full liner installations take a full day. We schedule around estate gates and restricted access windows so the work is done without repeated trips.
Brands We Service in Beverly Hills
We work with a curated set of professional-grade materials rather than hardware-store substitutes. You will see DuraFlex stainless steel liner systems, HeatShield ceramic resurfacing, Famco caps and dampers, and Copperfield-sourced components on our Beverly Hills jobs. We keep common parts stocked for faster turnaround. See our brands for the full list.

| Service | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Chimney sweep | $180 – $340 |
| Chimney cap installation | $200 – $500 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $200 – $500 |

| Dryer vent cleaning | $150 – $300 |
The two biggest price drivers in Beverly Hills are roof access and home age. A steep tile roof or a chimney that requires scaffolding on a hillside lot will push labor costs up, and older homes that have not been serviced in decades often need more than a basic sweep once we get inside and see the liner condition. Every job is quoted as a flat price before we start, so what we agree on is what you pay.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Beverly Hills
Routine sweeping and most cap or flashing repairs do not require a permit. Structural changes like a full rebuild or major liner replacement may trigger the city’s permit process. We can tell you what applies to your specific job before we start, and we handle the paperwork when permits are needed.
For a routine sweep or dryer vent cleaning, a few days is usually enough. For liner work or crown repair, one to two weeks is safer, especially in the canyon areas where access coordination takes more time. If you want work done before the cool season, call us in late summer or early fall.
You want camera footage, not just a written summary. A real report shows the flue interior, documents cracks, gaps, and blockages, and separates urgent repairs from things that can wait. We provide that evidence on every job, and we will tell you plainly when work can safely be deferred. Call (833) 467-7685 to schedule an inspection, or visit our home page to see our full scope of work.
