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 comes down to one of two jobs: documenting a flue for a real estate transaction or fixing a masonry chimney that has spent decades absorbing sun, wind, and the occasional fire. Most of the chimneys we work on here belong to 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial and Tudor homes in the flats, plus canyon houses above Sunset where Santa Ana winds pack flues with palm fronds and eucalyptus debris. San Bernardino Chimney Sweep has served Beverly Hills since 2018, and we handle the full job from first inspection to finished repair. Call (877) 516-7159 when you need a specialist who can find the problem and fix it, not just write it up.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Beverly Hills sits in a high fire-severity zone, and that single fact shapes nearly every chimney job here. Wood-burning fireplaces are everywhere in the older housing stock, but real wood fires are heavily restricted, which means most flues sit unused for years at a stretch. A chimney that never sees fire still collects problems: wind-driven debris, bird nests, desiccated palm fronds, and rat nests in the hills above Benedict Canyon, plus spalling mortar crowns and cracked clay tile liners from decades of sun exposure.
The homes themselves lean Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Mediterranean villa, with tall exterior masonry chimneys and ornate hearths. Newer rebuilds sometimes mix in factory-built fireplaces, but the classic Beverly Hills chimney is a masonry structure with a clay tile flue liner. Those liners crack with age and thermal stress, and once cracked, they are a fire and carbon monoxide risk whether or not the fireplace gets used. Santa Ana wind events drive embers and debris into caps and crowns each fall. In Beverly Hills, a chimney sweep is often as much an inspection-and-report job for insurers, realtors, and buyers as it is a cleaning.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
Beverly Hills homeowners call us most about two things: getting a rarely-used fireplace swept and certified, and clearing dryer vents that have packed with lint over years of heavy laundry use.
Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills
A sweep in Beverly Hills usually starts with a flue that has not seen fire in years, which means our first job is removing what the wind and local wildlife left behind. In the hills above Sunset, we regularly pull desiccated palm fronds, eucalyptus leaves, and rat nests out of flues, then inspect the clay tile liner for cracks from decades of sitting unused. The work ends with a written report you can hand to an insurer, realtor, or buyer. For the full scope and scheduling details, see our Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills
Dryer vents in Beverly Hills homes, especially in older laundry rooms with long vertical runs, collect lint and contribute to one of the leading causes of residential fires. A clogged vent also makes the dryer run hotter and longer, which shortens the life of the appliance. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior vent cap and give you the vent equivalent of a clean bill of health. More detail on pricing and what the job includes is on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills page.

Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills
Chimney repair in Beverly Hills starts with what the housing era and climate have done to the structure: 1920s-1940s masonry chimneys with clay tile liners, spalling mortar crowns, and flashing that has pulled away from the roofline after years of hot sun and Santa Ana wind. We work as a Chimney Repair specialist, meaning we find the damage during a sweep or inspection and fix it on the spot, using contractor-grade materials from brands like DuraFlex and HeatShield rather than whatever is cheapest at the hardware store. In Beverly Hills, most repair calls come from either a pre-sale inspection that flagged a cracked liner or a homeowner who saw water staining near the fireplace or heard debris falling behind the damper.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals in the flue, find twigs or nesting material on the smoke shelf, or see rain puddling inside the firebox.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Chimney cap installation in Beverly Hills typically runs from $150 to $450, depending on cap size and whether the flue needs a custom mount.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a properly sized stainless steel or copper cap from brands like Copperfield or Famco, and secure it to the crown with a mechanical fastener system that withstands Santa Ana wind loads.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
An inspection reveals cracked or missing clay tile sections, you smell smoke or exhaust inside the house, or a pre-sale report flags the chimney as unsafe.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Chimney liner installation in Beverly Hills ranges from $1,000 to $2,500 for a typical single-story flue, with taller chimneys or more complex runs at the higher end.
How we do it
We size the flue, slide a DuraFlex stainless steel liner down the existing chimney, insulate where code requires, and connect it to the appliance or fireplace with proper terminations.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, rust streaks on the exterior masonry, or damp spots in the attic after rain.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Chimney flashing repair in Beverly Hills typically costs between $250 and $550, depending on the amount of flashing that needs to be cut out and replaced.
How we do it
We remove the failing flashing, replace it with new step and counter flashing, and seal the joints so roof water is directed away from the chimney chase.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The mortar crown on top of the chimney is cracked, spalled, or porous enough that water is soaking into the masonry below it.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Chimney crown repair in Beverly Hills generally runs from $300 to $800, with larger or severely deteriorated crowns at the top of that range.
How we do it
We build a form, pour a new properly sloped concrete crown so water drains away from the flue, and tool the edges for long-term performance in the dry Beverly Hills climate.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $150 – $450 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,000 – $2,500 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $250 – $550 |
Can you fix a cracked chimney liner without full replacement?
Often yes. We apply HeatShield, a ceramic coating that resurfacing the inside of a cracked clay tile liner, restoring its integrity without pulling the old liner out or rebuilding the chimney. The exception is a liner with large missing sections or a flue that has shifted structurally, in which case we recommend a DuraFlex stainless liner instead.
Does Beverly Hills require a permit for chimney repair?
Structural chimney repairs like rebuilding a firebox or a full crown replacement can require a permit depending on scope, but cap installation, liner resurfacing, and flashing work typically do not. Because Beverly Hills code and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and property type, call (877) 516-7159 and we will tell you exactly what your specific job needs before any work begins.
Brands We Service in Beverly Hills
We stock and install parts from Famco, Copperfield, DuraFlex, and HeatShield. These are the same contractor-grade materials we use on every Beverly Hills chimney, not hardware-store substitutes. Our brands page has the full lineup, and most common caps and liners are available for jobs within a day or two.

What Beverly Hills Customers Say
"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
— Ebony Nash"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Eric Rhodes"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
— Robert Quinn
