When you call for a repair estimate, costs depend on the specific structural issues we find. Factors like the height of your chimney, the extent of masonry damage, and whether the flue liner requires partial or full replacement play a big role. If we need specialized scaffolding or specific matching bricks to maintain your home’s look, that impacts the labor and materials involved. We keep things simple by evaluating your specific needs on-site. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Flashing is the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, and it is the most common place for leaks to start. If you notice water stains on your ceiling or damp wood in the attic, your flashing has likely failed. Repair companies will remove damaged metal, install new sealant, and ensure a watertight fit to protect your interior. Since the complexity of the roof slope affects the labor, your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Generally, homeowners insurance in Georgia covers sudden and accidental damage to your chimney, like from a storm. However, damage from gradual wear and tear or neglect, such as deteriorating flashing, might not be covered. It's always best to check your specific policy details.
The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys states that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents smoke from being drawn back into the house.
While some handymen may have general repair skills, chimney flashing is a specialized job. It requires specific knowledge of roofing, waterproofing, and chimney construction to ensure a proper, long-lasting seal. It's usually best to call a licensed, insured chimney professional for this type of repair.
