Frequently asked in Irvine
What is the average cost to repair a chimney in Irvine?
Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance in California?
Homeowners insurance in California typically covers damage that is sudden and accidental, like from a fire or severe weather. Normal wear and tear or damage from neglect usually isn't covered. It's best to consult your policy or ask the repair specialist for guidance.
