What affects the price

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.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Often, if the damage is due to a sudden, accidental event like a lightning strike or fire, it might be covered. However, wear and tear from age or weather is typically not. It's best to check your specific policy and discuss it with the pros when you get your estimate. They can advise on what to look for.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

This rule generally refers to the amount of chimney that should extend above a roofline. It states the chimney should be at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through, and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet. This helps with proper draft and prevents downdrafts. A pro can check if your Boston chimney meets these standards.

Can a handyman repair a chimney?

While some minor tasks might be within a handyman's scope, chimney repair often requires specialized knowledge and tools. Issues with the flue liner, structural integrity, or proper venting are best handled by experienced chimney professionals. They have the training to do it right and safely.
