How Much Does Chimney Repair Cost?
Cost depends on how much damage there is, the height and access of the chimney, and whether it can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt. The biggest factor is time: Michigan’s freeze/thaw cycles make masonry damage worse every winter, so a repair done now usually costs much less than a rebuild later. We give free, itemized estimates. Call (586) 533-1305.
Chimney Repair FAQs
Does homeowners insurance cover chimney repair?
It depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden damage is treated differently from wear and tear. Read does homeowners insurance cover chimney repair?
Can you match the brick on my chimney?
Yes. We match brick color, size and texture and tint the mortar so repairs blend with the original chimney.
Should I repair or rebuild my chimney?
Most chimneys can be repaired with tuckpointing, brick replacement and a new crown. A rebuild is recommended when the chimney is leaning or the brick above the roofline has failed. We’ll inspect it and explain both options.
