We sprung a leak during the recent bought of heavy storms. We were sure we needed a new roof, or at the very least, heavy repairs. However, when the roofer showed up he inspected the roof from on top, inside, and in our attic and assured us we had a solid roof in need of no major repairs. He...

Paul came out promptly and looked at my chimney which leaked in heavy rain. He suggested we attack the problem sequentially, since leaks are hard to fix. He suggested a crown coat, which he applied, but it didn't completely do the job, so he later applied mortar sealant which fixed the leak.

But he send me a message that he couldn't come because he had a family emergency and I understand that and I told him that he can few days later and he said that was fine, but he never showed up, never calls nor send an email.

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.
