What affects the price

When you call for a chimney repair estimate, several variables influence the total. The height of your chimney and how easily we can reach the roof play a big part. The specific materials needed—whether it’s custom brick matching, stainless steel liners, or specialized mortar—also affect your final bill. If there is hidden internal damage like crumbling flue tiles or structural shifting, that requires more labor and specialized equipment than a simple exterior patch. We always evaluate the extent of the wear and tear to give you a clear picture of what’s needed to keep your home safe.

Frequently asked in New Orleans

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Louisiana may cover chimney damage if it results from a covered peril, such as a hurricane or fire. Damage due to general wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's essential to review your specific policy details or contact your insurance provider for clarification.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule is a safety standard for chimneys, ensuring they are tall enough to vent properly. It dictates that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through. It should also be at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot horizontal distance. This prevents downdrafts and smoke from entering the house.
