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.

About this service

A chimney cap sits at the top to keep rain, debris, and animals out of your flue. If you hear scratching noises, notice excess moisture inside, or see the cap rusting and tilted, it is time for a repair or a full replacement. Fixing this early prevents much more expensive damage to the interior liner or firebox. We evaluate the size and type of cap needed for your specific flue. Your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in San Francisco

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In San Francisco, homeowners insurance typically covers chimney damage caused by sudden and accidental events, such as fires or severe storms. Damage that arises from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is generally not covered. It's always recommended to review your specific policy or contact your insurance provider for details on your coverage.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' for chimneys is a building code guideline that suggests the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof where it penetrates and be at least two feet taller than any part of the building within a ten-foot radius. This helps ensure proper drafting and prevents smoke from entering the home.
