Chimney Repair Services We Offer
Tuckpointing & Mortar Repair
We remove crumbling mortar and replace it with a fresh mix matched to Reno's climate, stopping water from getting further into the brick.
Flue Liner Repair
A cracked liner lets heat and carbon monoxide leak into your walls. We repair or reline it so gases vent safely again
Damper Repair
A stuck or rusted damper wastes heat and lets in cold air. We repair or replace it so it opens and closes the way it should.
Chimney Waterproofing
We seal your chimney against rain and snow while still letting trapped moisture escape, so brick doesn't crack from the inside.
- Reno sees over 200 frost days a year. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and expands — turning a hairline crack into a real problem within one winter. Left alone, this leads to

- Common Questions
Have questions about chimney Repair in Reno? We have the answers. If you don’t find what you need, just give us a call.
What is the average cost to repair a chimney?
Chimney repairs typically range from $300 to $4,000 depending on the severity of the issue. Minor fixes like filling small brick cracks or replacing a cap sit on the lower end ($150–$500). Major structural work like full tuckpointing or a complete chimney rebuild can easily run between $2,000 and $8,000+
Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?
Insurance only covers chimney damage if it is caused by a sudden, unexpected event like a lightning strike, tornado, or a major house fire. It will not pay for repairs resulting from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or long-term water leaks. If your chimney is simply cracking due to age, the cost falls entirely on you.
What are the most common chimney problems?
Water damage is the most frequent issue, leading to cracked masonry and rusted dampers. Creosote buildup—a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood—is another major hazard that requires regular cleaning. Finally, damaged or missing chimney caps often allow rain, debris, and pests to get inside the flue.
What is the best time of year for chimney repair?
Spring and early summer are the ideal times to schedule repairs because the weather is dry and warm. Masonry work requires temperatures above 40°F (4°C) for the mortar to cure properly. Waiting until fall means fighting for a slot during the chimney sweep industry’s busiest peak season
What is the "3 to 10 rule" for chimneys?
This is a standard building code safety rule regarding the height of the chimney structure on your roof. It states that a chimney must extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. Additionally, it must be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the roof within a 10-foot horizontal radius.
