Will a New Chimney Add Value to My House?
Having a chimney and fireplace on your home can certainly grab buyer’s attention. If you have a chimney already or you’re building a new house with a chimney, you may see an uptick in your return. However, the cost of adding a chimney to an already built house may not be worth the return you’d get. If you’re getting chimney installation for your forever home, the return probably doesn’t matter. If you’re planning an investment though, you may be better off getting a brick patio in the back or expanding your front porch instead.
