Chimney and fireplace services in Kansas City
Seven services, all of them things we actually do ourselves rather than subcontract. Every one starts the same way — a $69 inspection with a written report, credited back in full if you book the work.
Chimney Sweep
$150–$400 typical
A chimney sweep removes the creosote, soot and debris that build up inside your flue during the burning season, restoring draft and removing the fuel source for a chimney fire.
Chimney Inspection
$69–$350 typical
A chimney inspection is a documented condition assessment of the flue, liner, firebox, crown, cap and flashing, delivered as a written report with photographs rather than a verbal opinion.
Chimney Repair
$880–$4,400 typical
Chimney repair covers the masonry itself — repointing failed mortar joints, replacing spalled brick, rebuilding a cracked crown, and in the worst cases taking the stack down to a sound course and rebuilding it.
Chimney Cap Installation
$250–$1,200 typical
A chimney cap is a stainless or copper cover with a spark screen that sits over the flue opening, keeping rain, animals and debris out of the chimney while still letting exhaust and draft through.
Chimney Leak Repair
$200–$1,200 typical
Chimney leak repair means locating the real water entry point — flashing, crown, cap, or porous masonry — and fixing that, rather than sealing the ceiling stain and hoping.
Gas Fireplace Repair
Quoted after diagnosis
Gas fireplace repair covers the ignition and gas train — pilot assemblies, thermocouples and thermopiles, ignition modules, gas valves, blowers and door glass — on direct-vent, B-vent and vent-free units.
Gas Fireplace Inspection
$69–$200 typical
A gas fireplace inspection verifies that the appliance is burning correctly and venting completely — gas pressure, burner flame pattern, vent integrity and a carbon monoxide spillage test — documented in writing.
