Instant Chimney Services & Prices

Chimney Sweep Service Pricing ↓

At Instant Chimney, our chimney sweep service is tailored to meet your specific needs and ensure the cleanliness and safety of your chimney. Our pricing typically ranges from $100 to $400, depending on several factors:

  1. Build-up and level of dirt: The extent of creosote build-up and the level of dirt within your chimney can impact the complexity and time required for the chimney sweep, thus influencing the pricing.
  2. Size of fireplace: The size of your fireplace can also affect the pricing, as larger fireplaces may require more time and effort to thoroughly clean.
  3. One or two-story home: The number of stories in your home can impact the accessibility of the chimney, with additional stories potentially requiring more equipment or time to complete the sweep.
  4. Dealing with animal extractions and rescue: If there are animals lodged within your chimney, our professionals will take the necessary steps to safely extract and rescue them. This additional service may incur extra charges.

Fireplace Restoration Pricing ↓

At Instant Chimney, our fireplace restoration services are priced between $450 and $1,200, depending on several key factors:

  1. Type of Fireplace: The complexity of the restoration project can vary significantly based on the type of fireplace you have. Whether it's a traditional masonry fireplace, a gas fireplace, or a factory-built unit, each type may require different restoration techniques and materials.
  2. Size of Fireplace: The size of your fireplace plays a significant role in determining the overall cost of restoration. Larger fireplaces typically require more time and materials to complete the restoration process, which can impact pricing.
  3. Condition of the Fireplace: The extent of damage or deterioration in your fireplace will influence the cost of restoration. Factors such as the number of cracks, broken bricks, or missing components will be taken into account when calculating the final price.
  4. Complexity of Execution: Some restoration projects may involve additional complexities, such as intricate designs, custom features, or unique architectural elements. These factors can increase the overall cost of the project due to the specialized skills and materials required for execution.

Fireplace Damper Repair Pricing ↓

At Instant Chimney, our damper repair services range from $200 to $700, depending on several key factors:

  1. Scope of Repairs: The cost of damper repairs can vary based on the extent of the damage and the complexity of the repairs needed. Minor repairs, such as tightening loose components or addressing minor rust, may fall on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, while more extensive repairs requiring replacement parts or significant restoration work may result in higher costs.
  2. Level of Rust: Rust accumulation on the damper can impact its functionality and durability. The level of rust present will be assessed to determine the appropriate repair approach, which may influence the overall cost of the service.
  3. Condition of Handle: Damper handles that are in good condition and securely attached may require minimal repair work, resulting in lower costs. However, if the handle is damaged or requires replacement, additional expenses may apply.
  4. Age and Damage: The age of the damper and the extent of damage will also affect the overall cost of repairs. Older dampers or those with extensive damage may require more extensive repair work or replacement parts, resulting in higher repair costs.

Chimney Tuck Pointing (Repairing Mortar Joints) Pricing ↓

At Instant Chimney, our tuck pointing services, also known as repairing mortar joints on brick siding, range from $200 to $900, depending on two primary factors:

  1. Quantity of Joints: The total number of mortar joints that require repair will impact the overall cost of the tuck pointing service. More extensive damage or deterioration across multiple joints may require additional time and materials, resulting in higher pricing.
  2. Level of Risk: The height at which the tuck pointing work needs to be performed can influence the pricing of the service. Dealing with elevated areas or working at heights presents inherent risks that may require specialized equipment or safety measures, potentially affecting the overall cost of the project.

Chimney Metal Flashing Repair Pricing ↓

At Instant Chimney, our chimney metal flashing repair services offer flexible pricing options tailored to your specific needs:

  1. Minor Repairs: Beginning at $175, minor repairs address small-scale damage or wear on your chimney's metal flashing. These repairs typically involve patching or reinforcing sections of flashing to restore its effectiveness and weatherproofing capabilities.

  3. Extensive Repairs: In cases of severe damage or extensive wear, extensive repairs may be required to restore the integrity of your chimney's flashing. Extensive repair projects start at $600 and can range up to $700 or more, depending on factors such as the size of the flashing, the complexity of the repair, and any additional safety considerations.

  1. Minor Repairs: Starting at $300, minor repairs address small-scale damage or imperfections in your Hardin plank siding. These repairs typically involve patching or replacing individual sections of siding to restore its integrity and appearance.
  2. Partial Replacement: For more extensive damage or localized issues, partial replacement of Hardin plank siding may be necessary. Pricing for partial replacement varies based on the size of the affected area, ranging from $500 to $3,000. This option allows for targeted repairs while preserving the majority of your existing siding.
  3. Total Replacement: In cases of severe damage, extensive wear and tear, or if you're seeking a comprehensive upgrade, total replacement of your Hardin plank siding may be the best solution. Total replacement projects start at $3,500 and can range up to $6,500 or more, depending on factors such as the size of your home, the complexity of the installation, and any additional customization options.

Factors Influencing Pricing:

* Size of the Project: The square footage of your home and the amount of siding needing repair or replacement directly impact the overall cost of the project.

* Level of Risk: Factors such as accessibility, height, and potential safety hazards associated with the installation site can affect pricing.

* Scope of Work: The complexity of the project, including any additional tasks such as trim replacement, caulking, or painting, will be factored into the pricing estimate.

Factors Influencing Pricing:

* Crown Height: The height of the chimney's concrete crown directly impacts the cost of repairs or replacement. Taller crowns may require additional materials and labor to access and repair effectively.

* Risk Factors: Accessibility to the chimney, as well as any safety considerations such as roof pitch or surrounding obstacles, can influence the complexity of the repair job and may affect pricing accordingly.

* Crown Size: The size of the chimney's concrete crown will also factor into the overall cost of repairs or replacement. Larger crowns may require more materials and labor to repair or replace effectively.

* Demolition and Rebuild: If extensive demolition and rebuilding are required to address structural issues with the crown, additional costs may be incurred for labor and materials.

Priced between $650 and $750, upgraded replacements feature higher-quality materials such as stainless steel or copper, offering superior resistance to rust and corrosion for long-term protection.

Factors Influencing Pricing:

* Chimney Height: The height of your chimney directly influences the cost of cap replacement, as taller chimneys may require additional materials and labor for installation.

* Risk Factors: Accessibility to the chimney, as well as any safety considerations such as roof pitch or surrounding obstacles, can impact the complexity of the replacement job and may affect pricing accordingly.

* Cap Type: The type of chimney cap selected will also factor into the overall cost. Options include standard galvanized caps or premium stainless steel or copper caps, each with varying price points based on material quality and durability.

Factors Influencing Pricing:

* Risk Factors: Accessibility to the chimney, as well as any safety considerations such as roof pitch or surrounding obstacles, can impact the complexity of the restoration or installation job and may affect pricing accordingly.

Cynthia Renteria

Instant Chimney did an outstanding job replacing our 31-year-old gas fireplace logs that were no longer working. From start to finish,the entire experience was excellent. The installation was handled by a very kind and polite young man named Chase, whose professionalism truly stood out. He completed the job in less than three hours, worked efficiently, and left the area spotless. Chase also took the time to explain how to operate the new gas logs and walked me through the details of his installation so I could understand exactly what was done. His skill, courtesy, and thoroughness were impressive. I couldn’t be more pleased with Instant Chimney’s service, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of fireplace work. This is definitely a five-star company!

These guys do great work and are friendly and professional. From getting in touch with them to schedule a free estimate and getting the work completed the very next day I am very pleased with the level of service that they provided. Because of the quality of their work and quick response to my request for an appointment I've scheduled a second job with them for early next year. I would definitely recommend Instant Chimney to anyone who needs quality work done on their chimney, chase or chase cover.

I needed to repair damage to my chimney. Right from the start, I knew Instant Chimney was a quality company. Excellent BBB rating, lots of positive comments on Google and Yelp. Rico gave me a professional estimate, informed me about my insurance company and gave me many options. The job was performed quickly and I was so impressed by how beautiful the chimney looks now and the freshly painted firebox improves the overall look to the fireplace. They even repainted my log rack! There were no hitches in the work, no unforseen expenses. Even the invoicing was easy. After the job, I received a courtesy call from Chase the project manager. He answered my remaining questions and provided excellent documentation with before and after pictures which I can keep with the house. I have peace of mind that my chimney will last and continue to perform at it's best, leak free and without potential pitfalls in the future. I recommend Instant Chimney, they are not the least expensive, but it's worth the extra cost to have the job done right the first time and warranted by courteous professionals. Thank you to everyone involved. - Marco Ortiz

Johnny Bember

After hurricane Beryl happened our Chimney had some issues due to the wind. The only thing I knew to do was to call the roofer because that’s what everybody told me I needed to do to get my chimney repaired however, what happens when you call a roofer they want to repair roofs, and then they would repair the chimney as an afterthought. My chimney was the problem, and therefore it was causing leaks into my house when other rain was happening, but the roofers kept giving me the runaround. these people were friends of friends that had roofing companies, family members that work for roofing companies, and still a few weeks after the hurricane no results. I finally was fed up and I just started googling Chimney repair and I found this company and I am glad I did. I just wish I would’ve found them sooner, they took care of me in a matter of a couple of days from the time they did the Estimate to the time they actually repaired my Chimney was Believe two days. The damage that was done was not worth claiming on insurance so I had to pay out-of-pocket, and I started to worry a little bit whenever you go to a specialty company, but the people I spoke with Mr. Rico in particular made me feel A little bit better about it, but when I got the estimate, it was less than what the roofers wanted to charge to get it done. The crew that came out to talking with Mr. Rico has been an absolute pleasure and I will recommend them to anybody and everybody for any of their fireplace or Chimney needs from this point forward!! I can’t thank you enough for everything!!!

I called and they came out within a day or two and repaired my flashing and cleaned out the Chimney. I was getting some wind noise still after (but much less) and they came back out and double secured it and tightened it down further. I couldn’t be happier with the service and responsiveness of their organization.

Common Questions & Concerns

1How often should I have my chimney swept?

The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary."

2My fireplace stinks, especially in the summer time. What can I do?

The smell is because of the creosote deposits in your chimney, a natural by-product of wood burning. The smell is sometimes worse in when it gets hot, when the humidity levels are higher and the a/c is turned on. A good sweeping will help but usually won't solve the problem completely.

3When I use my upstairs fireplace, I get smoke from the basement fireplace.

This has become quite a common issue in modern air-tight houses where weather-proofing has sealed up the air infiltration routes. The fireplace in use exhausts household air until a negative pressure situation happens. If the house is tight, the simplest route for makeup air to enter the structure is often the unused fireplace chimney. As air is drawn down the unused flue, it picks up smoke that is exiting nearby from the fireplace in use and delivers the smoke to your living area. The solution is to introduce makeup air to the house so that the negative pressure problem is no longer a problem, thus eliminating not only the smoke issue, but also the potential for carbon monoxide to be drawn back down the furnace. Another solution is to install a top-mount damper on the fireplace that is used the least.

4I have a gas fireplace, should it be checked too?

Yes! Despite the fact that gas is a cleaner burning fuel, the chimney can become non-functional from bird nests, animals, or other debris blocking the flue. Some newer furnaces can also cause many problems with the avg. flues made for older generation of furnaces. It is best to check the areas on gas and carbon monoxide to be on the safe side.

5How do I tell if they really cleaned my chimney?

A complete chimney sweeping includes the chimney flue and smoke chamber. You will be able to visibly see the that the flue is cleaner. Ask for a report after the sweeping is done.

6What stainless-steel liners require insulation?

Liners for oil-fired and gas appliances do not require insulation to meet the manufacturers’ installation and warranty reqs. Due to the lower flue gas temperatures and lesser heat transfer they are less likely to get surrounding combustible material on fire. If combustible materials are in close contact with the chimney, there are provisions that allow the liner to be installed in what is called as a zero/zero install. It is more logical to insulate every liner serving a wood burning appliance. Even oil-fired and gas appliances that are vented into an outside chimney will benefit from liner insulation.

7What is safe to burn in my fireplace?

It is safe to burn dry, seasoned firewood in your fireplace. Dry firewood typically has a moisture content of less than 20% and has been properly stored for at least six months to a year. Hardwoods like oak, maple, birch, and ash are excellent choices as they burn longer and produce more heat. Softwoods like pine and fir can also be burned, but they tend to burn faster and produce less heat. It is important to avoid burning treated wood, painted wood, or any materials that may release toxic fumes when burned. Additionally, never burn trash, cardboard, or paper products in your fireplace as they can cause excessive smoke and potentially start a chimney fire.
