Chimney Restoration & Rebuild
Rebuilding a chimney requires knowledge and know how that not everyone has. When it comes to building something solid and reliable that meets government regulation, you need to partner with the best in class: Specialized Chimney Services.
It is always reassuring to rely on somebody knowledgeable who can provide you with sound advice. Several factors need to be considered when executing chimney work.
The following are just a few examples of what needs to be done when working with a fireplace and chimney.
Executing the work requires scaffolding to be erected along the chimney to ensure the work is executed in a safe manner.
Special attention is paid to the aesthetic. This is where chimney repair becomes an art. Your chimney might have been built a few years ago with bricks that may no longer be available today. Your chimney was also subject to several weather conditions over the years and the color of the brick has changed overtime. We work closely with Merkley Supply, the best supplier for replacement bricks in Ottawa. Specialized Chimney Services work according to the Provincial and federal building code. Home insurance companies are rather cautious when insuring a home with a fireplace. They will want the work to have been done according to the building code.

How much does it cost to have a chimney repaired?
This is always a good question. And a tough one. As you may suspect, it all depends on your current state and size of the chimney and how much deterioration there is. Charge by material and labor.
It is always better to have Specialized Chimney Services come over and assess your project. We will be able to provide you with a quote. And there is no cost for that service.
But to give you a bulk part figure, a fix or a repair of a masonry chimney built in a one-floor single family home will be in the $500 – $5000 and more price range (most usual rebuild roof line and up). This might give you enough information to make the decision to move forward with your project or hold off until you have the budget available. It is never a good idea to do the work yourself or find a jack-of-all-trade to do such an important piece of work, just for the sake of saving money. Such a project is not about money. It’s all about safety.
