Capital Chimney Corp. provides high quality service from people you can trust, all at cost effective prices! We work for our clients and address each specific need they have. We love to answer questions and we have over 75 years of field experience which gives us extensive knowledge on all aspects of chimney repair and services. Our certified technicians will be able to diagnose and offer cost effective solutions on how to fix the problem.

"Capital Chimney was very professional, responsive, and efficient. We are happy with the work done by Charles B, and the quotes and advice provided by Dominic C. They have actual humans answering their phones promptly. They were on time for both appointments and called when they said they would with a precise arrival time on the day of the work. Their quotes were solid and they took the time to clearly explain why they were recommending the work. They also provided before and after pictures. They did not try to upsell and applied no pressure to engage them for additional work, despite having opportunities to do so. In fact, they recommended cheaper alternatives to solving drafts down one chimney as I was pursuing more expensive solutions with them, and we ended up saving about $1,600 over what I had originally thought we needed. While we didn’t get multiple quotes like usual, my impression is they were probably on the expensive side for the work performed, but competence, trustworthiness, and professionalism are worth paying for."

"I needed six new windows and a storm door replaced...and all were long overdue projects. I got three estimates. Tom from Capa was the third (and the quote was in the middle of the three), but I felt WAY better about dealing with him than anyone else. Tom did not try to upsell me into an expensive brand. One company insisted I have entirely new windows....no inserts. Tom did not agree. Tom told me that "we'll take care of you" and was as good as his word. The company is honest and works hard to please you. On installation day, three men arrived and installed all 6 windows and the storm door in one day. They took pride in their work and were extremely hard workers. I HIGHLY recommend Capa. They are good, honest people."

"I spoke with Production Manager of Premier Edge Construction: Bo Bardo who promised a check of $400 for storage shelter after I gave him an AMERICAN FAMILY ISSUED CHECK about $18-19K for siding services for both sides of my home and the backside of my home. Plus, I paid him up extra 3,800 amount for siding to add in front of my house. After siding was completed in July. A check of $400 for a new storage shelter was promised to me because he charged the insurance shelter tear down and setup. However, he never tore it down. He just moved slightly forward so his workers can finish the siding job. At that point he offered me the $400 so i can get a new storage shelter. After total siding on my home was completed. I sent multiple texts when he would finish the job and add the storage shelter. He told me orginally that his workers were busy for the summer and he would keep me posted. He never got back to me. I always had to send reminders and sent texts for updates on storage shelter and he would say he is still busy. Finally I got tired of his lame excuses and I asked him to send me the money $400 for my storage shelter and he did not. The last text he told me he had not gotten paid since July and the business is closed. He never told me this in all my texts from July and August. Frankly, I do not know if the business is really closed because first it is still on Angie's List. Second, I called the business and an answering system picked up and my call was directed accordingly and leave a message for billing questions He doesn't remember that he told me the business was in his wife's name. Gina Bardo. He is dishonest and the reason i am being detailed is because I do not understand how this business got an A rating in Angie'List and I do not want anyone else in the northern Chicagoland area and Elgin to be lied to and cheated. Don't trust Bo."

Chimney repairs FAQs

Chimney repairs can take many forms for a seemingly simple structure, and costs can vary widely. Common chimney repairs include: 

  • Chimney flashing repair: $150–$500

  • Repointing mortar joints: $400–$2,500

  • Repair or replacement of flue liners: $200–$7,000

  • Patching brick or stone: $350–$3,000

  • Pouring a new concrete top: $100–$3,000

  • Repairing chimney caps: $75–$1,000

The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.

The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.
