Two technicians came out and performed an inspection (for which there was a $75 fee which I was not notified at the time of requesting an appointment for an estimate). They told me what I already knew, which was that the chimney was falling apart. They inaccurately told me that I share my chimney with my neighbor -- there is a second flue in my chimney but it actually comes from the basement. After the estimate was done the technician told me the owner would be in touch that afternoon to discuss fireplace inserts. No one ever called me back. Combining the surprise $75 inspection fee, the inaccurate assertion that I share my chimney with a neighbor (they were only going to rebuild half the chimney if they did the work!), with the fact that they didn't ever make an attempt to call me caused me to choose another provider. Of note, none of the other 3 companies I got estimates from charged for the estimate.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Lorton, VA
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
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.
