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, MA
Chimney cap and crown work in Beverly typically runs $285-$1,850 depending on whether we’re installing a new cap, repairing a cracked crown, or coating a multi-flue structure on one of the harbor-front estates. The salt air off Beverly Harbor eats metal and mortar faster than almost anywhere on the North Shore, so we see more cap corrosion and crown spalling here than in Danvers or Peabody. Call (351) 444-9705 for a written quote before any work starts.
Level Two Chimney Co. inspects and cleans chimneys under NFPA 211 Level 2 standards, which means a camera down the flue and a documented photo record on every visit. We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, and every job gets a written price, written scope, and written warranty before work begins. Our Boston office coordinates dispatch to Beverly; crews arrive uniformed, background-checked, with license information and a text when they’re on the way.
Why Beverly Homes Are Different
Beverly sits directly on Beverly Harbor with open Atlantic exposure, and that salt-laden air corrodes chimney caps, flashing, and damper hardware faster than conditions even a few miles inland. The coastal freeze-thaw cycles here are severe, routinely cracking chimney crowns and spalling brick faces on waterside properties in Beverly Farms and along the harbor.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Beverly Farms, a former Gilded Age summer colony, holds large Victorian estate homes with multiple decorative brick chimneys now occupied year-round. Those chimneys were engineered for seasonal use, not continuous winter heating loads. Downtown, older triple-deckers and mill-era worker housing feature original unlined masonry chimneys frequently past 100 years old. Many were built for coal or wood and now vent gas appliances without proper liners. We regularly find terra-cotta liners collapsed or chimneys completely unlined in both neighborhoods, creating carbon monoxide risk that a flashlight inspection won’t catch.
Our Main Beverly Services
Most Beverly homeowners who call us need one of these three services:
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly
We sweep and inspect chimneys across Beverly with NFPA 211 Level 2 camera documentation as standard, not an upgrade. The creosote buildup from wood stoves in older Beverly Farms estates and the debris from deteriorating unlined flues near downtown both require a camera to assess properly. Every sweep includes a photo record, written condition report, and written price before we start. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Beverly
Chimney Repair in Beverly
Our repair work in Beverly focuses on salt-damaged mortar joints, spalled brick from freeze-thaw cycling, and crown cracks that let water into the flue. We see more flashing corrosion here than inland because of harbor exposure. Repairs are scoped with camera evidence, priced in writing, and backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Fireplace Services in Beverly
Fireplace service calls in Beverly often involve damper hardware seized by salt corrosion or smoke chambers in unlined systems that need parging. We inspect with a camera, document what we find, and provide a written scope and price before any repair. Our technicians carry common parts for Gelco and Olympia Chimney components to reduce return trips. Fireplace Services in Beverly

AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Beverly
Chimney cap and crown work is our most frequent service call in Beverly because the harbor’s salt air destroys metal caps and mortar crowns at roughly twice the rate we see in Peabody or Danvers. On waterside homes in Beverly Farms and along the Atlantic-facing ridges, we regularly find stainless caps corroded through and concrete crowns cracked clean across from freeze-thaw cycling. Chimney Cap & Crown work here demands materials rated for marine exposure and installation standards that account for the accelerated deterioration.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Rust streaks down the brick, a cap that rattles or has visible holes, or water dripping into the firebox during storms.
What it costs in Beverly
Cap replacement in Beverly typically runs $285-$650 for a standard single-flue stainless cap, with multi-flue custom caps on larger Beverly Farms estates reaching $850-$1,400.
How we do it
We measure the flue and crown, fabricate or order the cap, remove the corroded unit, and secure the new cap with masonry screws and high-temp sealant.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the concrete crown, pieces flaking off, or water staining on the ceiling near the chimney.
What it costs in Beverly
Crown repair in Beverly ranges from $450-$950 for crack sealing and resurfacing, with full crown replacement on large multi-flue chimneys running $1,200-$1,850.
How we do it
We grind out cracks, apply a bonding agent, pour new crown mix sloped to shed water, and seal with a breathable waterproofing agent.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Beverly
| Item | Typical range in Beverly |
|---|---|
| Single-flue cap replacement | $285 - $650 |
| Multi-flue custom cap | $850 - $1,400 |
| Crown crack repair and resurfacing | $450 - $950 |
| Full crown replacement | $1,200 - $1,850 |
How long does a chimney cap last in Beverly?
A quality stainless cap in Beverly’s salt air typically lasts 8-12 years, compared to 15-20 years inland; we use marine-grade 304 or 316 stainless and check cap condition during every sweep. Call (351) 444-9705 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Can a cracked crown wait until spring?
A hairline crack can be monitored, but any crack that lets water past the surface needs repair before freeze-thaw cycles widen it; we document the crack with camera photos so you can see the risk yourself. Call (351) 444-9705 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Beverly
Chimney liner and rebuild work in Beverly is driven by two realities: the high concentration of unlined or improperly lined chimneys in pre-1920 housing, and the seasonal-to-year-round conversion of Beverly Farms estates that pushed heating loads far beyond what the original flues were designed to carry. We regularly find terra-cotta collapsed or missing entirely, with combustion gases venting directly into brick walls or living spaces. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work here starts with a camera inspection that shows you exactly what condition your flue is in.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Flue tiles visible in pieces at the cleanout, smoke odors in upper floors, or a home inspection flagging an unlined chimney before sale.
What it costs in Beverly
A stainless steel liner installation in Beverly typically runs $2,800-$4,500 for a standard single-flue system, with complex multi-flue Beverly Farms installations reaching $5,500-$7,200.
How we do it
We camera-scan the flue, remove debris, measure for a custom-fabricated 316Ti stainless liner, drop and insulate it, and connect to the appliance with a proper tee and cap.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalled brick above the roofline, a leaning chimney stack, or mortar joints eroded to the point light shows through.
What it costs in Beverly
Partial rebuilds in Beverly range from $3,200-$5,800 for above-roof restoration, with extensive spalling repair on multi-flue estate chimneys running $6,500-$9,500.
How we do it
We scaffold the work area, remove damaged courses to sound brick, rebuild with matching brick and Type N mortar, and install a new crown sloped for drainage.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Beverly
| Item | Typical range in Beverly |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Stainless steel liner (multi-flue complex) | $5,500 - $7,200 |
| Partial rebuild (above-roof) | $3,200 - $5,800 |
| Extensive spalling / multi-flue rebuild | $6,500 - $9,500 |
Do all old chimneys in Beverly need a liner?
Not all, but most pre-1940 chimneys we inspect in Beverly are unlined or have failed terra-cotta; a camera inspection shows whether yours vents safely or needs a liner for code compliance and insurance. Call (351) 444-9705 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How disruptive is a chimney rebuild?
Most partial rebuilds take 2-3 days with scaffolding on one side of the house; we work around weather windows and leave the fireplace usable if the flue itself is intact. Call (351) 444-9705 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
