Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush.

Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in St. Paul

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

The cost to repair a chimney in St. Paul can vary widely. Factors like the type of damage, materials needed, and the complexity of the repair all play a role. For example, a simple crack in the flue liner will cost less than a full rebuild of the chimney crown. We can provide a precise quote after a visual inspection.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Sometimes chimney repair is covered by homeowners insurance, especially if the damage was caused by a sudden and unexpected event like a lightning strike or a fire. However, normal wear and tear or damage from lack of maintenance usually isn't covered. It's best to check your specific policy details or call us for advice on what might be covered.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule generally refers to the clearance needed around a chimney. It suggests that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot horizontal distance. This helps prevent fire hazards.

How much do chimney repairs cost?
