Bottom line: Travis Kee fixes a problem the way it should be repaired the first time. Although it was more expensive than I anticipated, I had already spent that money on other attempts at repair that didn't work. I wish I had known to call him at the onset of the problem.

When we added a porch years ago, the contractor never got the new roof around the chimney right. He came back twice to repair, but couldn't fix it permanently. I tried someone else - no luck, a couple months later the leak was back. Travis was our fourth try. I have waited this long to write...

I have a plain jane masonry fireplace that was built in the early 80s. The showed up on time, made the repair, cleaned the chimney, and didn't get ash everywhere. They did not try to oversell the situation and were generally friendly. I will use them again.

Kenny was on time, did a thorough inspection and did a great job describing what he found and the recommended repairs. The sticker price for repairs was more than I expected but that is probably because I had no reference point on what chimney repairs cost.

The first time they came, they were extremely cheerful. The second time, they had quite an attitude problem. They didn’t want to come. They had put the concrete in the wall, and when it fell out from the fire, they had to come back and repair it. They did a good job though; I just had to ignore...

Let me start with the estimate. I decided on the Chimney Doctor because of other reviews on Angie's List and they were spot on. My husband and I were in the process of buying the house and Dave the owner of the Chimney Doctor came out to give an estimate. All of this happened after I was told by...

We purchased an old house with a new roof and chimney. There was a leak around the chimney which the roofers blamed on the chimney and the chimney guy blamed on the roofers. The roof was under warranty and the roofers made a sloppy "repair" by slapping some caulk and tar on the chimney. We got...

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.

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.
