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 San Francisco

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In San Francisco, homeowners insurance generally covers chimney damage if it's caused by a sudden and accidental event, like a fire or a severe storm. Damage due to normal wear and tear or neglect is typically not covered. It's important to check your specific policy details. We can provide a professional assessment and quote for your insurer.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys is a safety guideline stating that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof it passes through and be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the roof within a 10-foot radius. This ensures proper draft and prevents smoke from entering the home. We can inspect your chimney to ensure compliance.
