Frequently Asked Questions
Look for white staining on outside bricks, rust on the damper or firebox, water leaks in your fireplace, or pieces of mortar falling into the firebox. Strong odors coming from your fireplace when it’s not in use also indicate problems. If you see any of these signs, get a professional inspection. Many chimney issues start small but cause serious damage if ignored. It’s always cheaper to fix problems early than wait until they become emergencies that require extensive structural work.
Boston’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly destructive to masonry. Water gets into small cracks in mortar or bricks, then freezes and expands, making the cracks bigger. Over several seasons, this leads to loose bricks, failed mortar joints, and structural problems. Many older Boston homes also have original mortar that’s simply reached the end of its lifespan and needs repointing. Poor chimney cap installation or missing caps also let water penetrate the system, accelerating damage during our harsh winters.
Most chimney repairs take 1-3 days depending on the scope of work. Simple repointing jobs might be completed in a day, while crown rebuilds or extensive brick replacement can take several days. Weather affects the timeline since masonry work needs proper curing conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Emergency repairs for safety issues get priority scheduling and are often completed within 24-48 hours.
We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to resume use – usually after all masonry work has properly cured. For most repairs, this means waiting 24-72 hours after completion. If we’re working on flue liner issues or major structural repairs, the downtime might be longer. We try to schedule non-emergency work during warmer months so it doesn’t affect your heating season. Safety is always our top priority, so we never rush the curing process.
Basic repointing work starts around $800-1500 for smaller areas, while crown repairs typically run $1200-2500. Extensive brick replacement or structural work can range from $3000-8000 depending on the scope. Every chimney is different, so we provide detailed estimates after inspection. We break down exactly what work is needed and why, so you understand what you’re paying for. Emergency repairs sometimes cost more due to urgency, but we’re upfront about any premium pricing.
