Capital Chimney Corp. provides high quality service from people you can trust, all at cost effective prices! We work for our clients and address each specific need they have. We love to answer questions and we have over 75 years of field experience which gives us extensive knowledge on all aspects of chimney repair and services. Our certified technicians will be able to diagnose and offer cost effective solutions on how to fix the problem.

"Capital Chimney was very professional, responsive, and efficient. We are happy with the work done by Charles B, and the quotes and advice provided by Dominic C. They have actual humans answering their phones promptly. They were on time for both appointments and called when they said they would with a precise arrival time on the day of the work. Their quotes were solid and they took the time to clearly explain why they were recommending the work. They also provided before and after pictures. They did not try to upsell and applied no pressure to engage them for additional work, despite having opportunities to do so. In fact, they recommended cheaper alternatives to solving drafts down one chimney as I was pursuing more expensive solutions with them, and we ended up saving about $1,600 over what I had originally thought we needed. While we didn’t get multiple quotes like usual, my impression is they were probably on the expensive side for the work performed, but competence, trustworthiness, and professionalism are worth paying for."

We are a masonry craftsman with over 25 years of experience in the field as a residential contractor. We have a high level of expertise in chimney repair/rebuilt, chimney crown restoration, grinding and tuck-pointing, caulking, lintel replacement and basement/foundation cracks repair by epoxy/flexfoam injection. My small crew and I take a great pride in our work.

"Robert and his team are real deal! Over the past few years, I've had the pleasure of working with Roberts General Masonry Repairs on multiple projects around my home—including tuckpointing, sealing, and foundation repair—and I can confidently say their craftsmanship is second to none. Theyve tackled some serious issues, including persistent leaks and structural concerns, and every time, they’ve delivered solutions that were not only effective but built to last. The attention to detail in their tuckpointing work brought new life to my brickwork, and the sealing job has kept my home dry and secure through every season. Their foundation repair work was especially impressive—thorough, professional, and clearly done with long-term durability in mind. What sets them apart is their consistency. Year after year, they’ve shown up with professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to quality. I trust them completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-teir masonry work. If you're looking for a team that treats your home like their own, Roberts General Masonry Repairs is second to none!"

We utilize current industry technology for unsurpassed service while still maintaining the best price to product / service ratio. Rest assured and enjoy your Superior Chimney!... Superior Chimney is a family owned and operated chimney sweep and masonry chimney restoration company.

We are proud to be a service company, not a sales company! It is our commitment to maintain safe use of all chimney types in all of Chicagoland while exceeding your expected level of service. Our fleet of trucks service all six Chicagoland counties, year round, in effort to minimize chimney fire statistics.

"Superior Chimney came to our house next day after water was coming into our fireplace down the chimney. Came and gave a free quote which was extremely well communicated and provided pictures to show the issues we were having. We needed to replace our caps as well as new waterproofing on our chase cover. Repairs were able to be completed immediately. Extremely happy with the service and felt cost was very fair. Would recommend for service"

Chimney repairs can take many forms for a seemingly simple structure, and costs can vary widely. Common chimney repairs include: 

  • Chimney flashing repair: $150–$500

The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.

The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option.
