About this service

Flashing is the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, designed to keep water out of your home. If you see water stains on your ceiling near the chimney or notice damp insulation in the attic, your flashing may be compromised. Companies specializing in this repair remove the old sealant or metal, install new waterproof flashing, and ensure a tight bond. This is a critical repair to prevent long-term water damage to your home’s structure.

Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

The cost to repair a chimney in Boston can vary widely. Factors like the extent of the damage, the materials needed for repair, and the specific type of chimney all play a role. For instance, repairing flashing around the base of the chimney might be less involved than rebuilding a significant portion of the flue liner. To get an accurate idea, it's best to speak with a pro for a personalized assessment.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance coverage for chimney repair in Boston typically depends on the cause of the damage. If the damage resulted from a sudden and accidental event, like a lightning strike or a severe storm, it might be covered. However, damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. It's always a good idea to check your specific policy details or consult with your insurance provider.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10' rule for chimneys refers to the recommended clearance for combustible materials. It generally states that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet. This helps prevent fires by ensuring adequate separation from flammable surfaces.

Can a handyman repair a chimney?

How much does it typically cost to repair a chimney?

Estimating the typical cost to repair a chimney without an inspection can be tricky. Minor repairs, like sealing a few cracks or replacing a few bricks, might be on the lower end. More extensive work, such as relining the flue or significant masonry restoration, will naturally cost more. Discussing the specifics with a pro will provide clarity on what affects the price.
