What we assess
The right repair depends on the cause
A stain, loose brick, and smoke indoors call for different checks. We assess the cause before recommending work.
Leaks at the roofline
Flashing, the cap, crown, or brick can let water in. A stain alone cannot identify the source.
See the leak guideFlue and venting damage
Smoke indoors, liner debris, or a failed inspection calls for a flue assessment before choosing a repair.
Explore chimney reliningRepair or rebuild?
Limited damage may allow a focused repair. Widespread loose masonry, movement, or structural concerns may need broader work. We explain the evidence and proposed scope in your estimate.
What changes the estimate?
Damage extent, roof access, height, materials, and flue work affect price. Compare written scopes, not totals alone.

3 reviews · 4 photosFranklin Chimney did a wonderful job fixing my chimney and putting in a stainless-steel liner and cap on top of my chimney. They came out quickly for an estimate and did the work in the same week. They were very professional and explained everything they would be doing before the job started. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality service. Thank you for making this such a great experience!

2 reviewsI had an emergency situation that needed immediate help. Franklin chimney came the next morning and estimated the job for me. The estimate was totally in line with the research other companies that I had done and Franklin came out the next day to do the job. I am so relieved to have this major problem in my house corrected. They were great communicators, on time, clean, fair, professional, and did a great job I could not recommend them more.

3 reviewsWe needed a level 2 chimney inspection on a quick timeline for our HOA. Franklin Chimney came out in less than 48 hours. Booking was very easy and price was significantly better than competitors. Our technician Madi was very efficient and made sure we had the report we needed.

Chrissy Newton
1 reviewI called Franklin Chimney when I noticed flies coming out of my wood burning stove. Maty was here within an hour. He sent a drone up on my roof and discovered a few holes in the mesh that was easy access for birds or squirrels to enter. He sent 2 guys out the next day. They were friendly, efficient and fast. They removed 4 birds and a squirrel. Put a new cap on chimney and sealed it off with mesh. They were done in about 2 hours. I highly recommend Franklin Chimney....thank you for doing a great job!

Repair decisions
Different symptoms point to different repairs
A water stain does not identify the entry point by itself. The cap, crown, flashing, mortar joints, and brick can each let water in. Damage inside the flue needs a different assessment. We look at the symptoms and accessible components before recommending a repair.
Water
Stains or leaks after rain
Check the crown, cap, flashing, and masonry before choosing a sealant or repair.
Masonry
Loose brick or open joints
The affected area and condition of the remaining structure guide repointing, brick replacement, or rebuild scope.
Flue
Smoke, draft, or liner concerns
A concern inside the venting path calls for an appropriate chimney inspection before recommending relining or continued use.
