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 Winston-Salem

What is the average cost to repair a chimney in Winston-Salem?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance in North Carolina?

Often, homeowners insurance in North Carolina covers chimney damage if it's due to a sudden and accidental event, like a lightning strike or fire. However, damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. It's always best to check your specific policy or discuss it with your insurance provider.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule generally refers to the height of the chimney. It suggests that the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through, and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within ten feet. This helps ensure proper draft and safety.

Can a handyman repair a chimney in Winston-Salem?

While some minor repairs might seem simple, chimney repair often requires specialized knowledge and skills to ensure safety and proper function.
