The $800 Fix vs. The $8,000 Rebuild
Robert Chen had water stains on his ceiling every time it rained. The leak was coming from his chimney. Three contractors told him he needed a full chimney rebuild. $6,500. $8,200. $9,000.
John Holland climbed on the roof and found the real problem in fifteen minutes. The flashing where the chimney meets the roof had separated. Water was running down the side of the chimney and into the attic.
"We need to reflash it properly. $800. Done in a day."
That was two years ago. No more leaks. No more water stains. Robert's chimney is still standing strong, and he saved $7,200 by getting an honest answer.
Most chimney problems are fixable without tearing anything down. Flashing repairs, crown restoration, chimney caps—these solve 90% of chimney issues for a fraction of the cost of rebuilding.
