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 means restoring a fireplace that has spent decades as a decorative centerpiece rather than a working heat source. The 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival estates in the Flats and the mid-century homes in the hills above Sunset were built with oversized masonry hearths and long clay tile flues that, under a warm, dry Mediterranean climate, sit idle nine months of the year. Imperial Chimney has served Beverly Hills since 2017, and the recurring pattern is specific: bird and raccoon nests, soot-glazed decorative flues, and cracks from seismic settling. Call (866) 253-3809 when you want to know what your chimney actually needs.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Most 90210 homes were never designed around the fireplace as a heating appliance. The original Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and mid-century modern houses feature fireplaces as architectural statements – wide masonry hearths, hand-troweled stucco chimneys, and flues that run three stories through the center of the home. That changes the work. A chimney that burns only on a handful of cool winter evenings does not accumulate heavy creosote. What it accumulates instead is wildlife. The dry, wooded canyons above Sunset Boulevard push raccoons and birds toward any open flue, and we routinely pull out nests that have been there for years.
The climate matters too. Beverly Hills gets almost no rain between May and October, so masonry absorbs moisture during the brief winter wet season and then dries hard. The repeated expansion and contraction opens hairline cracks in chimney crowns and mortar joints. Santa Ana winds in the fall drive leaves and debris into uncapped flues, and the resulting blockage sits in place until someone lights the first fire of the season. Many homeowners call us only after that first cool night reveals the problem. By then the damper is rusted, the flue is packed, and the smoke has nowhere to go but back into the living room.
Homes in the hills face one more pressure: seismic settling. The same ground movement that cracks pool decks and stairways also shifts large, heavy chimney structures. We see crown fractures and flashing separation on hillside homes more than anywhere else we work in the Los Angeles basin.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
Most Beverly Hills homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: the fireplace has not been cleaned in years and they want it inspected before the first fire, or a dryer vent has become a hidden fire hazard and needs verified airflow. Both are covered below.
Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills
A chimney sweep in Beverly Hills is less about removing heavy creosote and more about clearing what the dry, wooded canyons push into an open flue: leaves, soot, bird nests, and raccoon debris. We document what we find with camera inspection, and we explain exactly what the flue looks like before recommending anything further. For a full breakdown of what a sweep includes, pricing, and what to expect during the visit, see Chimney Sweep in Beverly Hills.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills
Dryer vent cleaning addresses the leading appliance-related house fire cause in the country, and Beverly Hills homes with long, multi-story vent runs are particularly prone to lint accumulation in low spots. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow with a pressure reading, and show you the before and after. For service details, pricing, and how to know whether your vent is blocked, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly Hills.

Chimney Repair in Beverly Hills
Chimney repair in Beverly Hills is usually about preserving an original masonry feature, not replacing it. The homes here, built largely between the 1920s and the 1960s, have clay tile flues and brick-and-mortar chimneys that have survived decades of seismic movement and seasonal moisture cycling. The work we do most often is crown resurfacing, flashing replacement, and cap installation – repairs that stop water intrusion and wildlife entry before they destroy a flue from the inside out. We handle the full repair arc ourselves, from inspection to Chimney Repair work to final camera verification, so you are never handed off to a subcontractor.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals inside the chimney, find leaves or twigs in the firebox, or see a dark, soot-stained circle around the top of the exterior chimney.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
A new chimney cap in Beverly Hills typically runs $300 to $700 installed, depending on the flue opening size and the cap material.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, install a stainless or copper cap sized to the exact tile dimensions, and secure it to the chimney crown with mechanical fasteners rated for exterior exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see hairline cracks across the concrete crown surface, notice water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, or find chunks of mortar at the base of the chimney after a rain.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Chimney crown repair in Beverly Hills generally ranges from $800 to $1,500 depending on the crown size and whether full resurfacing is required.
How we do it
We remove the compromised surface layer, prepare the crown with a bonding agent, and apply a durable exterior-grade sealant that flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $300 – $700 |
| Chimney crown repair | $800 – $1,500 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $400 – $900 |
Prices move based on chimney height, roof pitch, and access. A two-story Spanish Colonial chimney with a steep tile roof takes longer and costs more to work on than a single-story mid-century chimney with a flat roof and easy ladder access. We give you a flat price before any work begins, not an estimate that shifts after we start.
Do I need a new chimney liner, or can my old clay tile liner be saved?
Most Beverly Hills homes can keep their original clay tile liner if it has not been damaged by moisture or settling. We inspect with a camera before recommending anything, and we will show you the footage. Liner replacement is only on the table when the tile is cracked, spalled, or cannot be brought back to safe condition.
What if my chimney has not been used in ten years but I want to light a fire again?
That is a common call in Beverly Hills, and the right step is a full inspection before the first fire. The flue may hold a decade of debris, and the damper may have rusted shut. Call (866) 253-3809 and we will inspect it, clean it if needed, and tell you whether it is safe to use.

Roof pitch and chimney height are the two biggest cost drivers in Beverly Hills. A steep hillside roofline above Sunset or a three-story chimney on a Tudor in the Flats adds labor time. We give a flat price before the work starts, so the number on the table is the number you pay.
