Frequently asked in Baltimore

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance may cover chimney damage if it resulted from a sudden, accidental event like a fire or severe storm damage. Damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's best to review your policy or contact your insurer. We can provide repair quotes.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule is a safety standard for chimney construction. It generally requires the chimney to extend at least three feet above the roofline where it passes through and be at least two feet higher than any part of the structure within a ten-foot radius. This ensures proper draft and fire safety.
