Fast, Reliable Fireplace Repair Across Las Vegas
Fireplace repair in Las Vegas typically costs between $185 and $650 for most common fixes, with gas fireplace service calls running $150 to $400 and firebox or damper work landing between $350 and $1,200. We get to most Las Vegas homes within one to two days because we are local and we keep parts on hand. If you have a fireplace that will not light, a damper that will not close, or a home inspection flag on your chimney, call us at (725) 220-6109 and we will give you a straight answer about what you actually need.

Most of the repair calls we run in Las Vegas are not from creosote buildup. They’re from dust, birds, disintegrating caps, and prefabricated systems that have not been touched in a decade. We know these systems because we work on them every day from Summerlin to the eastern edge of the valley.
Why Ashby Chimney Las Vegas Is Las Vegas’s Preferred Fireplace Repair Company
Nathan Corliss leads the Ashby Chimney Las Vegas team, and he has built the company around a simple rule: show the customer the problem before recommending the fix. Every repair quote starts with a camera inspection. You see the cracked flue tile, the corroded cap, the nest, the failed thermocouple. Nothing is recommended because it sounds scary. Everything is recommended because you just watched us find it.
We have operated since 2002, and our Las Vegas location is independently owned and operated under the standards of the Kingswell Guarantee. That means a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee when the job is done, and a free second visit if a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period. A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (725) 220-6109. No voicemail loops, no callback forms. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up at the window we gave you.
Las Vegas homeowners repeatedly tell us the same story: someone quoted one number at the door, then doubled it after “finding” something else. We do not do that. The number on the written quote is the number on the invoice.
Styles & brands we work with





Wood Stove Installation in Las Vegas
Wood stove installation in Las Vegas is a less common call than gas fireplace work, but when a homeowner in the northern valley or out toward Lone Mountain wants a wood-burning stove for heat or for the look, we handle the full installation from the floor plate to the chimney cap. A proper wood stove installation involves mounting the stove on a code-compliant hearth pad, installing the correct diameter double-wall stovepipe, and connecting through a properly sized flue. In Las Vegas, most wood stove installations require either an existing masonry fireplace with a stainless steel liner or a newly installed prefabricated chimney chase.
Stovepipe and Flue Connection
The connection between the stove and the flue is where most installers cut corners. We size the stovepipe to the appliance’s collar, not to whatever is cheapest at the supply house. In older Las Vegas homes with clay-tile flues, we install an insulated stainless steel liner rated for solid-fuel use, because clay tiles cannot handle the creosote and temperature of a modern wood stove.
Hearth and Clearance Requirements
Las Vegas building codes require specific clearances between a wood stove and any combustible wall, floor, or ceiling material. Nevada also enforces stricter dust and air quality rules than many states, so we verify the stove model is EPA-certified before we start. A wood stove installation in Las Vegas typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 depending on whether a stainless liner and new chimney cap are required.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Las Vegas
Gas fireplace repair in Las Vegas is the most common service we perform because most homes built since the 1990s in the southwest valley have direct-vent gas fireplaces that sit unused for years, then fail the first time they are turned on for a holiday gathering. The most frequent failures we see are dead thermopiles, faulty gas valves, clogged burner ports from dust, and cracked glass assemblies on the firebox face. A typical gas fireplace repair in Las Vegas runs $150 to $400 when we can diagnose the problem on the spot and pull the part from our van or a local supplier.
Pilot Light Repair
A pilot light that will not stay lit is almost always a dirty thermocouple, a failing gas valve, or dust blocking the pilot orifice. We clean the pilot assembly and test the millivolt signal before recommending any part replacement. If the thermopile is weak, we show you the voltage reading and replace the component while you watch.

Direct-Vent Log and Burner Service
Desert dust gets into direct-vent burner ports even when the fireplace is off, because the vent draws air through the unit year-round. We remove the logs, blow out the burner tube, check for spider webs inside the venturi, and confirm the gas-to-air ratio. Most “the flames look weak” calls in Las Vegas are just dust and webs starving the burner.
Trusted Brands We Service in Las Vegas
We keep professional-grade parts on hand from the brands the chimney trade actually trusts, including Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield. When a factory-built chimney cap on a Summerlin prefabricated stack fails from corrosion and heat, we install a Copperfield replacement rather than a generic aftermarket piece that rusts out in three seasons. The brand matters in Las Vegas because our monsoon rains and 110-degree summer days destroy cheap flashing and caps fast. We stock these parts locally so most repairs complete in a single visit. No waiting weeks for a part to ship from the Midwest.

AfterCommon Fireplace Repair Problems We See in Las Vegas Homes
- Clay-tile flue liners cracked from heat cycling. The Las Vegas summer bakes roofs and chimney stacks to 150-plus degrees, then winter nights drop them below freezing. Older homes in the central valley with original clay-tile flues are prone to cracking that silently allows carbon monoxide into living spaces. We spot these with a camera, not guesswork.
- Monsoon-driven debris and cap failure. Tumbleweeds, palm fronds, and dust clog chimney caps during the July through September monsoon pattern, causing backdraft and smoke stains on stucco walls. A corroded cap on a prefabricated stack will leak into the chase cavity and rot the framing.
- Nesting birds and rodent intrusion. Fireplaces that are not used for years are ideal nesting sites. Pigeons and pack rats are the usual offenders in Las Vegas. We recently pulled a desiccated bird nest and three pounds of dust from a direct-vent flue in a Summerlin home that had not used the fireplace since 2016.
- Home inspection flags before resale. In the current Las Vegas real estate market, a seller typically gets two to three days to address a chimney or fireplace inspection finding. We respond fast, give the camera report to the buyer’s inspector, and complete the required repair before the closing deadline in most cases.

FAQs About Fireplace Repair in Las Vegas
A fireplace that sits unused in Las Vegas still accumulates dust, spider webs, bird nesting, and corrosion on metal caps and flashing. The monsoon season introduces moisture, and the summer heat expands and contracts metal components. Most of the repair calls we run in Las Vegas are on fireplaces that have not been lit in years but failed a home inspection or developed a leak in the chase. If you have not had the system looked at in five or more years, a camera inspection catches problems while they are still cheap to fix. Call (725) 220-6109 to schedule one.
Monsoon rains drive driving water against the chimney stack, and if the cap is corroded or the flashing has pulled away from the stucco, water gets inside the chase cavity and stains ceilings below. Henderson homeowners with 1980s through 2000s tract homes are especially prone to this because the original flashing was installed with a thinner gauge metal that now corrodes at the nail points. We inspect the cap, the flashing, and the chase top during our camera inspection and put the fix in writing before we start. Call (725) 220-6109 for a repair quote.
Yes. A musty smell coming from an unused gas fireplace in Las Vegas almost always means moisture has entered the chase plus organic material, usually dust and sometimes a bird or rodent nest, is decomposing inside the vent. The smell is sewage-like and tends to get worse in humid monsoon weather. We remove the debris, dry the chase, replace the corroded cap or flashing that let moisture in, and reseal the unit. The smell goes away once airflow is restored and the source is removed. The repair is covered by our written guarantee.
Summerlin’s master-planned community standards include fireplaces that were often installed as original equipment and never used. Home inspectors in Las Vegas now routinely flag corroded caps, cracked refractory panels, failed pilot lights, and missing spark arrestors, because these are all visible and all cheap for a buyer to request as repair credits. We know exactly what local inspectors look for and can often complete the repair within one to two days so the transaction does not stall. Call (725) 220-6109 and we will review the inspection report over the phone.
Vertical cracking from thermal shock. Las Vegas clay-tile flues in homes built before 1990 absorb heat during the day and contract at night, and after enough cycles the tiles develop hairline cracks that widen over time. The danger is that cracked tiles allow carbon monoxide to leak into the wall cavity and living space, even when the fireplace is not lit but the furnace is venting into the same stack. We confirm cracks with a camera and then recommend a stainless steel liner, which is the only accepted repair for cracked clay tiles. We never recommend a liner without showing you the crack on camera.
