HOME CARE CHIMNEY INCThey did a great job at an excellent price. Every other company I called for an estimate wanted to tear down the entire chimney. Dan was the only one who explained why it wasn't necessary and did the repairs at a fraction of the cost. The work was excellent. I highly recommend them.

"I was impressed with this company from The first time they came out to quote the job because I was immediately handed a folder that contained their license and proof of insurance. I accepted the bid and, while we got off to a few false starts, the work was completed in April 2025. The crew that came out was professional, efficient, and very respectful of my property. The chimney and tuck point repair work that they completed was professionally done and you could tell that they took great pride in Their work from the pictures that they showed me of the completed job.

We are a contracting company that offers quality work at a quality price. We do anything construction related including: General Remodeling Home Additions Concrete Decking Finished Floor Coverings Drywall Rough Framing Finished Carpentry Roofing Siding Bathrooms Kitchens Cabinets Painting Plumbing Electrical
"Brian and his crew were professional, courteous and able to do all of the work we needed done. They laid hardwood and installed the baseboards; rebuilt some wall areas; installed the cabinets, cabinet trim and tile backsplash. They also installed new tile on the fireplace. I was concerned that a company good at finish carpentry could also be good at tile work, but he has different people for different jobs. He provided a written estimate and he did stay true to the estimate/contract. No hidden costs. It all looks great! I am very happy with it. It was a good value for the work done. The only downside was scheduling. They were working on several projects and came to do work every week, but it is not like they could come and stay until all the work was done. We had a few parts we were waiting on as well, and the counter top company caused a 3-week delay. Some things just can't be helped."

Over 40 years of service in all forms of masonry. From brick, block, glass block, fireplaces, chimneys, pizza ovens, to high rise buildings. Small deposit and payment for materials due up front. Rest of payment due upon completion. Family owned and operated.
"I found this company via home advisor. They came out and provided a quote to construct a 1000 sq. ft patio in my backyard in June. I had all the materials on hand, so the quote consisted of labor. To secure a start date, I provided a 50% deposit ($5800) to the company in early July via PayPal. They estimated the work would take 5 days and quoted me for $11,700 for the labor and their estimated start date in early August. In August they came over when they were supposed to start the project and did not start. They claim that there were materials in the way of their work area and that I wasn't ready. These materials are for the patio and have been in my driveway for 6 months. Part of the quote was to install these materials. They are very manual in their technique. No heavy machinery was used, and the materials were easily passable. They also maintain that they had reserved 3 weeks in August for my job that they couldn't start due to these materials in the way. I have been contacting them for months asking when they would be coming back, and they continue to move the date around. I personally rearranged the materials to make their job easier. They finally came back to work in November and December for a few days. They put in some retaining wall and moved some crushed concrete and claim that it required more crushed than quoted and that is the cause for the delay. They haven't been back since early December. Recently I received a citation from the city for the materials being in the driveway for over 6 mos. This could result in a misdemeanor and a large fine for every day they are not removed. I had to hire another landscaping company to move them. Venetian did not show up to help when I told them about it. They also said that there is no rush on the work because I can't use it anyways. I purchased a hot tub last summer that I have not been able to use, and it may be broken due to being stored on its side while waiting for the patio to be built. They continue doing other jobs and make excuses. I have reached out to Venetian Masonry to resolve these issues and they have not showed up to our agreed upon meeting times. I currently have 0 sq. ft constructed of a 1000 sq. ft patio that was supposed to be completed in August that was quoted in June. They said it was no problem that they work throughout the Winter. Maybe at other jobs, but not at ours. It doesn’t seem to be very high on their priority list. I would not recommend this contractor."

Chimney flashing repair: $150–$500
Repointing mortar joints: $400–$2,500
Repair or replacement of flue liners: $200–$7,000
Patching brick or stone: $350–$3,000
Pouring a new concrete top: $100–$3,000
Repairing chimney caps: $75–$1,000
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.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
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. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Your chimney inspection cost will vary based on the type of inspection, how accessible the chimney is, the chimney size, and the number of flues.
