Our Chimney Repair Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we inspect your chimney from top to bottom. We look at the crown, flashing, mortar joints, and interior structure. You get a clear explanation of what we find and photos of any problem areas.

Next, we give you a written estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to be done. No surprises, no hidden costs. If it’s an emergency situation, we can often start repairs the same day.

During the repair, we protect your property and clean up our work area daily. We use quality materials designed for Kensington’s climate. When we’re finished, we walk through everything with you and explain what we did. You get documentation for your records and warranty information for the work.

How do I know if my chimney needs repair or replacement?

Most chimney problems can be repaired if caught early. Look for white staining on the outside (efflorescence), rust on the damper or firebox, cracked or missing mortar, or water stains near your fireplace. If more than 25% of your chimney structure is damaged, or if there are major structural issues, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense for your situation and budget.
The most common culprits are damaged chimney crowns and faulty flashing. Kensington’s freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete crowns, letting water seep in. Flashing around the chimney base often fails where it meets the roof. Poor or missing chimney caps also let rain pour directly down the flue. We see a lot of mortar joint problems too – the pointing between bricks deteriorates over time, especially on the weather-facing sides of chimneys.
Simple mortar repairs might run $300-800, while crown replacement or flashing work typically costs $800-2500. Major structural repairs can range from $2500-8000 depending on the extent of damage. Emergency repairs often cost more due to urgency and after-hours work. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most repairs cost far less than the water damage they prevent, and definitely less than full chimney replacement.
We can handle emergency repairs year-round, but some work is weather-dependent. Mortar and masonry work needs temperatures above freezing to cure properly. However, we can do temporary weatherproofing and emergency leak repairs even in winter conditions. For non-emergency work, spring through fall offers the best conditions. If you have an urgent leak or safety issue, we’ll find a way to make it safe until permanent repairs can be completed.
Quality chimney repairs should last 15-25 years or more with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on materials used, workmanship quality, and local weather exposure. Tuckpointing and mortar work typically lasts 20-30 years. Chimney crowns and caps should last 15-25 years. Flashing repairs can last 20+ years if done correctly. We use materials rated for local climate conditions and back our work with warranties. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become major problems.
Most chimney repairs don’t require permits, but major structural work or rebuilds typically do. In Kensington, you’ll need permits for work that affects the structural integrity or changes the chimney height. Simple repairs like repointing, crown repair, or flashing replacement usually don’t need permits. We handle permit applications when required and ensure all work meets local building codes. We’re familiar with Kensington’s requirements and will let you know upfront if permits are needed for your specific project.
