Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning in Beverly Hills, CA
Chimney cap and crown work in Beverly Hills typically runs $850-$2,400 depending on whether we’re fitting a single-flue cap or rebuilding a multi-flue crown on a 1920s estate chimney. Most calls here aren’t about creosote - they’re about cracked crowns letting water into unreinforced brick and wildlife nesting in flues that haven’t seen fire in years. Call (424) 414-6048 and we’ll quote it in writing before anyone schedules.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Beverly Hills sits on its own municipal island, separate from Los Angeles, with its own Building and Safety division and Fire Department. Any permit for chimney repair, relining, or cap work must clear Beverly Hills City Hall under the Beverly Hills Municipal Code - a detail that stalls out-of-area contractors who assume LA jurisdiction applies. The housing stock tells the rest of the story: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Mediterranean estates built between the 1920s and 1950s, concentrated in the flats south of Santa Monica Boulevard and the hillside properties above Sunset. These original multi-flue brick chimneys were built for wood fires that rarely happen now. SCAQMD “Spare the Air” no-burn mandates and the reality of trophy homes occupied only part-time mean flues accumulate wildlife nesting and debris rather than creosote, while seismic micro-shifts slowly degrade unreinforced masonry. Every visit starts as a structural and obstruction inspection.
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
Three services account for most calls from Beverly Hills homeowners - each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly Hills
We clean and inspect original brick flues in estates from the flats to the hills above Sunset, with camera documentation to verify condition in chimneys that may not have burned wood in years. Wildlife obstruction checks are standard - dormancy here turns flues into nesting sites. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly Hills covers full pricing and what the inspection includes.
Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills
Seismic micro-shifts and water intrusion through failed crowns are the main damage patterns we document in Beverly Hills brickwork. We pull permits through Beverly Hills City Hall and provide written scope and price before any masonry work begins. Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills lists typical repair ranges.
Fireplace Services in Beverly Hills
Gas insert conversions in original fireplaces are common in spec-flip renovations, but often vent through aging, unlined flues that haven’t been brought to current code. We inspect the full system and quote any liner or venting upgrade in writing. Fireplace Services in Beverly Hills details insert work and safety checks.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Beverly Hills
Original chimney crowns on Beverly Hills estate homes were poured from mortar mix never meant to serve as a roof - they crack, spall, and funnel rainwater into unreinforced brick walls. Cap installation and crown repair are the two jobs we book most often here, usually after a camera inspection finds water staining or masonry degradation that the owner couldn’t see from the ground. Chimney Cap & Crown work follows the Haven Standard: written price, written scope, and photo record on every job.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You’re finding twigs, feathers, or nesting debris in the firebox, or hearing animal activity in the flue during evening hours.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Single-flue stainless cap installation runs $380-$650; multi-flue custom caps for estate chimneys run $850-$1,400.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening and crown footprint, fabricate or source a cap with proper mesh screening, and secure it with masonry anchors rated for seismic zone conditions.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see cracks wider than a dime in the crown surface, or interior water staining on the firebox walls after rare rain events.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Crown repair with poured concrete or specialized crown mix ranges $1,200-$2,400 for typical estate chimneys; full crown replacement on multi-flue systems can reach $3,200.
How we do it
We remove degraded material to sound substrate, form and pour new crown mix with proper drip edge and slope, then cure and seal per manufacturer spec.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Single-flue cap installation | $380 - $650 |
| Multi-flue custom cap | $850 - $1,400 |
| Crown repair (poured) | $1,200 - $2,400 |
| Full crown replacement | $2,800 - $3,200 |
Do I need a cap if I never use my fireplace?
Yes - wildlife nesting and rainwater intrusion damage masonry whether you burn or not, and Beverly Hills flues left open become established nesting sites within a season. Call (424) 414-6048 for a free inspection quote.
How long does crown repair last?
A properly poured crown with correct slope and overhang lasts 20-30 years; the original mortar crowns on 1920s-1950s homes typically failed in 10-15. We warranty our crown work under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Beverly Hills
Gas insert conversions in Beverly Hills spec-flips and renovations often vent through original terra cotta flues never designed for condensing appliance exhaust - the flue is too large, too cold, and too cracked to safely carry acidic combustion products. Stainless steel liner installation and partial rebuild are the two responses we quote most, always with camera documentation of the existing flue condition and a written price before any work starts. Chimney Liner & Rebuild covers full technical specifications.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Your gas insert was installed without a liner inspection, or the terra cotta flue shows cracks, gaps, or missing tiles on camera.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Stainless steel liner installation for a single-flue gas appliance runs $2,800-$4,200; multi-flue estate systems range $5,500-$8,500.
How we do it
We run a camera to map flue damage, size the liner to the appliance BTU rating, insulate where required by code, and pull Beverly Hills permit for the installation.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
The top courses of brick are spalling or separating, or the crown has failed and water has compromised the upper chimney structure.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Partial rebuild of the top 3-5 feet of an estate chimney runs $3,500-$6,000; extensive upper rebuilds with scaffolding reach $8,000-$12,000.
How we do it
We demo to sound masonry, match existing brick and mortar where possible, rebuild with reinforced crown and proper flashing, and document with photo record per Haven Standard Clause 4.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,800 - $4,200 |
| Stainless steel liner (multi-flue) | $5,500 - $8,500 |
| Partial rebuild (upper chimney) | $3,500 - $6,000 |
| Extensive upper rebuild | $8,000 - $12,000 |
Can a gas insert work without a liner?
It can vent, but it won’t vent safely - condensing exhaust in an oversized terra cotta flue causes acidic moisture damage and carbon monoxide risk. We inspect and quote liner requirements in writing. Call (424) 414-6048.
Does a partial rebuild require a permit?
Yes - any structural chimney repair in Beverly Hills requires a permit through Beverly Hills City Hall, not LA City, and we handle that paperwork as part of our scope.
