We know Paradise’s homes. The 1960s and 70s ranch houses off Maryland Parkway, along Tropicana Avenue, and back through the neighborhoods near the airport all share the same DNA: original brick chimneys, desert sun exposure, and fireplaces that sit idle for months then get worked hard on a cold December night. That specific usage pattern causes a specific set of problems, and we’ve seen them all.
Why Ashby Chimney Las Vegas Is Paradise’s Preferred Fireplace Repair Company
Our Fireplace Repair team has worked on hundreds of Paradise homes since 2002, and the pattern is consistent: mid-century masonry chimneys that need more attention than homeowners expect. We’re not a national chain. This Paradise location is independently owned and operated under the Kingswell Guarantee, which means we answer to our neighbors, not a corporate office in another state.
Nathan Corliss runs this operation, and he built the crew around a simple standard: show up in the window, say the price first, put the guarantee in writing, and come back free if the repair fails. Every visit includes a written price before work begins and a written guarantee when the job’s done. If a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every repair we make in Paradise.
We answer the phone with a live person 24/7. When you call about a fireplace that won’t stay lit on a cold night in Paradise, you talk to someone who can help, not a voicemail tree. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they know the difference between an original 1968 clay flue liner and one replaced twenty years ago. That matters when we’re quoting your repair.
Styles & brands we work with
Gas Fireplace Maintenance in Paradise
Gas fireplace maintenance in Paradise usually costs between $150 and $250, and it’s the work we recommend every fall before the first time you flip the switch. The gas fireplaces in Paradise homes collect dust and debris through the venting, and the burners and pilot assemblies clog faster here than in wetter climates because of the fine desert particulate that settles into every opening. A neglected gas fireplace can produce carbon monoxide problems, uneven flames, and delayed ignition that eventually wrecks the control valve.
Pilot and Thermocouple Service
When a gas fireplace won’t light in Paradise, the pilot assembly is the culprit more than half the time. Dust accumulation from the desert shortens thermocouple life, and the thin wire that senses the pilot flame corrodes faster in our alkaline soil conditions that contribute to airborne minerals. We replace thermocouples, clean pilot orifices, and test millivolt output before we call the job done.
Burner and Log Set Cleaning
Paradise gas fireplaces build up a fine layer of dust and mineral film on the burner ports, which causes yellow, sooty flames instead of a clean blue burn. We disassemble the log set, clean each burner port, verify the ember bed placement, and adjust the air shutter for proper combustion. It’s straightforward work that keeps your fireplace efficient and keeps carbon monoxide out of your living room.
Wood Stove Installation in Paradise
Wood stove installation in Paradise typically runs $1,200 to $2,800 depending on the stove, the chimney condition, and whether you need a new liner. A lot of Paradise homeowners add a wood stove to a 70s ranch home for supplemental heat on those cold desert nights, but the original chimney was almost never built for a stove. The clearances are wrong, the clay liner isn’t rated for stove temperatures, and the hearth isn’t deep enough. We handle the full install, including the liner and hearth work, so it’s done to current code and safe to operate.
Liner and Flue Requirements
Wood stoves burn hotter than open fireplaces, and the original clay tile flues in Paradise’s 1960s and 70s ranch homes crack under that thermal shock. We install DuraFlex stainless liners sized to your stove, which handles the heat load and gives you a smooth, round flue that drafts properly. Skipping this step is how chimney fires start, and we won’t install a stove without a liner rated for solid fuel.
Hearth and Clearance Work
The original hearths in Paradise ranch homes are often 4 to 6 inches too shallow for modern stoves, and the wall clearances don’t meet current NFPA 211 standards. We build out hearth extensions and install the proper heat shields so your install passes inspection and your wall never gets hot enough to worry about. It’s not exciting work, but it’s the difference between a fire hazard and a warm house.

Common Fireplace Repair Problems We See in Paradise Homes
- Thermal shock cracking in original clay liners. Paradise’s cold winter nights after warm desert days cause rapid expansion and contraction in old clay flue tiles, and the hairline cracks grow into serious gaps over time. A cracked liner lets combustion gases and carbon monoxide seep into the wall cavity behind the chimney.
- Glazed creosote from infrequent hot burns. When you run your fireplace hard for two cold weeks then let it sit for months, the creosote bakes into a hard, shiny layer that standard brushes can’t scrape. This is the most dangerous type of creosote, and it’s common in Paradise because we burn in bursts.
- Palm frond and dust-clogged arrestors. The wind blows palm fronds and desert dust onto Paradise rooftops constantly, and spark arrestors catch it all. A clogged arrestor chokes your draft and pushes smoke back into the house, and the dry frond material is itself a fire hazard if embers reach it.
- Spalling brick and eroded mortar on sun-exposed chimneys. Paradise’s intense UV exposure breaks down the mortar on south and west-facing chimney sides faster than homeowners expect. Once the mortar joints are gone, water gets into the brick, freezes on those rare cold snaps, and pops the brick faces off from the inside.

FAQs About Fireplace Repair in Paradise
Repointing is needed because Paradise’s sun and temperature swings break down mortar joints whether you burn or not. Mortar is porous, and the daily expansion and contraction from hot days and cold nights cracks it gradually. Once mortar joints are compromised, water gets in, and the next cold snap does real damage. Most Paradise repointing jobs run $400 – $900, and the work is straightforward: we grind out the loose mortar, pack in fresh mortar that matches your brick, and seal it. Call (725) 220-6109 for a quote before winter.
Palm fronds and desert dust build up on your spark arrestor and inside your flue, which restricts draft and causes smoke to roll back into your living room. Clogged arrestors are the most common cause of smoky backdrafts we see in Paradise during the first cold snap. The fix is a cleaning visit, usually around $180 – $250, and we recommend it every fall. Call (725) 220-6109 to schedule a pre-season sweep.
Yes. A Level 2 inspection is required before any wood stove installation, and for Paradise’s 1960s and 70s ranch homes, it’s the only way to know if your original clay liner can handle a stove. Most can’t without a new stainless liner. The inspection uses a camera to check the entire flue, and we show you the video so you see exactly what’s there. If the liner is cracked or missing, you’ll see it. Call (725) 220-6109 to schedule the inspection.
That shiny, hard creosote is called glazed creosote, and it forms when you burn hot fires in short bursts instead of steady, moderate fires. Paradise’s burn pattern, with months of disuse followed by intense cold-night fires, creates exactly the conditions for glaze. Regular chimney brushes won’t remove it. We use mechanical removal tools or chemical treatment to break down the glaze, and the job typically runs $300 – $500 depending on how thick the buildup is. Call (725) 220-6109 and we’ll assess your flue.
Yes, a rusted damper is a repair, not a rebuild. We replace rusted damper assemblies with new ones, typically for $200 – $450 in Paradise, and often the replacement is easier than homeowners expect. If the damper frame is embedded in damaged masonry, we may need a larger firebox repair, but we’ll show you the problem and give you a written price before any work starts. Call (725) 220-6109 to have us look at your damper.
