Frequently asked in Lexington-Fayette

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Kentucky typically covers chimney damage caused by sudden and accidental events like house fires or severe storms. Damage due to normal wear and tear or neglect is generally not covered. It's advisable to review your specific policy. We can provide a detailed quote for your insurance company after an inspection.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule is a safety standard for chimneys, recommending they extend at least 3 feet above the roof's highest point where they penetrate and be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the building within a 10-foot radius. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents smoke from entering the home. We can assess your Lexington-Fayette chimney's compliance.
