Frequently asked in New York

What is the average cost to repair a chimney in NYC?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance in New York?

Homeowners insurance in New York might cover chimney repairs if the damage was caused by a sudden, accidental event, like a lightning strike or a chimney fire. Routine wear and tear or damage from neglect usually isn't covered. It's always best to check your specific policy or ask the pros when you get your estimate. They can often advise on what might be insurable.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys in New York?

The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys generally refers to the height of the chimney above the roofline. It typically states that the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof penetration and be at least two feet taller than any part of the building within ten feet. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents downdrafts. The pros can explain how this applies to your specific New York property.
