Is it a big job to remove a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, removing a chimney is a major undertaking. If your chimney provides structural support to your home (which they often do), you’ll have to take extra precautions to remove it safely and not affect the structural integrity of your home. For a project like this, you’ll need to recruit a structural engineer, masonry contractor, and demotion crew. Between all of the labor and materials, you can expect to pay $2,000 to $10,000 in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-will-it-cost-remove-whole-chimney.htm">chimney removal costs</a>.</p><p> </p></div>

Can you remove a fireplace yourself?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-we-tear-down-fireplace-inside-house-without-having-remove-chimney-roof.htm">remove a fireplace yourself</a>. Before beginning this job, you’d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you’d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it’s best to hire a pro for this project.</p></div>

What is the best way to remove concrete?

• <div><p>For concrete that’s under 3 inches thick, use a crowbar or a wrecking tool like a sledgehammer to pry the concrete, starting at the corners and working toward the center. You’ll need a jackhammer to break up concrete that’s over 3 inches thick. Do your homework if you use a jackhammer; you’ll need full protective gear that includes a hard hat, safety goggles, and steel-toed boots. </p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of excess concrete?

• <div><p>What you do with excess concrete depends on the amount you have left over. For large amounts of excess concrete, you can rent a dumpster from a company that specializes in concrete disposal. Another option is to take your leftover concrete to a landfill or transfer station&mdash;just make sure you call your preferred location first to make sure they accept concrete.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door?

• <div><p>Permits are required when carrying out any structural work, so in most cases, you will need a building permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door. If you have specific questions about your project or need to obtain a permit, contact your municipal building department or ask your contractor for advice.</p></div>
