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?

In Des Moines, homeowners insurance may cover chimney repair if the damage resulted from a sudden and accidental event, like a severe storm. However, damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's wise to check your policy and then get a professional estimate.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' is a common safety guideline for chimneys. It suggests the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest roof penetration and be at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot radius. The pros can verify your chimney's compliance.
