Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

The lifespan of a roof patch depends on which materials you use and the severity of the damage. Temporary solutions like tarps or plastic sheets last a few weeks to a few months, while roofing tape or caulk may hold up for a year or two. Permanent patches using roofing cement, flashing, or replacement shingles can last several years as long as they're properly maintained. Regular inspections and touch-ups can extend the patch’s lifespan, but eventually, a full repair or replacement would be needed.

Yes, you can walk on a standing seam roof, but you should avoid stepping on the seams and instead walk on the flat portions. The seams are thin and provide less traction, and they don’t get direct support from the roof decking underneath, so they’re more likely to dent from added weight.

The type of repair you need is a major factor in the cost of repairing a roof. Some of the most common types of roof repairs include:

  • Leak: $360–$1,550

  • Damaged gutters: $180–$560

  • Flashing: $200–$500

  • Sagging roof: $1,500–$7,000

  • Damaged roof cap: $200–$750

  • Roof patch: $100–$1,000

  • Vent repair: $75–$250

  • Dormer repair: $250–$1,000

  • Fascia: $600–$6,000

  • Truss repair: $500–$5,000

  • Eave repair: $1,500–$1,700

Homeowners insurance may pay for chimney repair if the damage type is covered under your policy, such as lightning strikes, heavy storm damage, fallen trees, and unexpected chimney fires. However, if a fire or other damage is caused by poor or improper maintenance, a standard homeowners insurance policy won't cover repairs.
