Full Chimney Rebuild

A full rebuild — footing or firebox up to the cap — is not work anyone can price over the phone, and we do not pretend otherwise. What it costs depends on the height of the stack, how many flues it carries, whether the footing is sound or has to be replaced, whether the firebox and smoke chamber come out with it, how close a brick and mortar match you want, and what access allows for staging and material. So we start with a structural assessment: what is failing, why, how far down the failure goes, and whether a partial rebuild would do the same job for less. Then you get a written, itemized scope and a fixed price before a single brick moves. A full rebuild is priced by height, access, and how far down the damage runs — a short chase above the roofline and a stack rebuilt to the firebox are different jobs. The starting figure covers a straightforward above-roof-to-shoulder rebuild; we measure it, photograph it, and put the real number in writing before anything comes down.

What is it

What is full chimney rebuild?

A full rebuild — footing or firebox up to the cap — is not work anyone can price over the phone, and we do not pretend otherwise. What it costs depends on the height of the stack, how many flues it carries, whether the footing is sound or has to be replaced, whether the firebox and smoke chamber come out with it, how close a brick and mortar match you want, and what access allows for staging and material. So we start with a structural assessment: what is failing, why, how far down the failure goes, and whether a partial rebuild would do the same job for less. Then you get a written, itemized scope and a fixed price before a single brick moves. A full rebuild is priced by height, access, and how far down the damage runs — a short chase above the roofline and a stack rebuilt to the firebox are different jobs. The starting figure covers a straightforward above-roof-to-shoulder rebuild; we measure it, photograph it, and put the real number in writing before anything comes down.

Every full chimney rebuild includes:

  • Structural assessment of stack, footing, firebox and smoke chamber
  • Written, itemized scope and a fixed price before demolition begins
  • Honest comparison against a partial or above-roofline rebuild
  • Rebuild to code with matched units and the correct mortar type
  • Documented job package: photos, crown, flashing and cap detail

Scoped from a graded inspection

At Prime Chimney Experts, a full chimney rebuild is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the full chimney rebuild is built on.

FAQ

Common questions about full chimney rebuild.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.

Are your technicians certified?

Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.

Do you provide written quotes before work begins?

Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.

What's the Prime Program membership?

Prime Program is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
