Estimate for external masonry repairs only—no report, no inside
or flue repairs needed. In our service area only. NOTE: if your chimney has been damaged by lightning or tornado, we
must do a Level II internal camera inspection because there could be hidden internal
damages to the structure. We highly recommend that this be done
anyway. Estimates for fireplace or internal flue repairs for masonry
chimneys will require a Level II inspection (see below)
by US - we cannot accept inspections from other companies because 90% of
the time we find something different. Call us FIRST to save time
and money.
