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 Des Moines

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Des Moines may cover chimney repairs if the damage was caused by a sudden, unforeseen event like a fire or severe storm. Damage resulting from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's advisable to check your policy. Call us for an assessment.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' is a safety standard for chimney height. It requires the chimney to extend at least three feet above the roofline and ten feet from where it passes through the roof. This ensures proper draft and ventilation for efficient burning. Call for an inspection.
