Edmonds has some of the oldest homes in Snohomish County, from the pre-1940 houses in the Bowl near the ferry dock to the 1950s–70s view homes on the hillsides above it. Nearly all of them have brick chimneys, and a brick chimney that has looked out over Puget Sound for sixty or more winters usually needs crown, cap and mortar work. We come up from Renton by I-405 and I-5, about 40 minutes outside rush hour.
In Edmonds we provide chimney repair, crown rebuilds, cap replacement, flashing repair, chimney sweeps and inspections. The quote is free, and so is a second opinion on an estimate you already have; we match it and take 10–25% off. Crown rebuilds start at $299, fireplace crack repair at $299, sweep and inspection at $299. If you're not happy, we're not done.
We serve all of Edmonds: the Edmonds Bowl and downtown, Westgate, Five Corners, Perrinville, Seaview, Meadowdale, North Edmonds, Firdale, Lake Ballinger, Maplewood, Talbot Park and the Highway 99 corridor, along with unincorporated Esperance, across ZIP codes 98020 and 98026.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Edmonds
Edmonds faces Puget Sound, and its west-facing hillside chimneys take the wet season head-on. The Sea-Tac normals put roughly 73% of the 40.34-inch annual rainfall between October and March, with November the wettest month at 6.31 inches. The region sees about 60 days a year that touch freezing while winter lows average near 37°F, which means brick that is saturated from the weather side freezes and thaws over and over; that is exactly the pattern that cracks crowns and flakes brick faces.
Western Washington moss spreads fastest from October through April on shaded, slow-drying surfaces. Edmonds' big firs and cedars on the hillsides and in Yost Park shade plenty of roofs, and the north side of a chimney under that canopy rarely dries out, so moss in the mortar joints is something we check for on every visit.
Edmonds' median home was built in 1974, and the mix runs from the historic Bowl, where many houses predate 1940, to the 1950s–70s ramblers and view homes that climb the hills toward Five Corners and Perrinville. Chimneys here are typically masonry: brick stacks with clay tile flues, a mortar crown and often a fireplace on an exterior wall facing the water.
On the oldest Bowl homes we typically find soft lime-rich mortar, multiple flues in one stack and crowns that have been patched more than once. On the 1960s–70s view homes the usual issue is a cracked crown, a missing cap and spalling on the weather side of the stack.
- Crowns cracked or washed out on pre-1970 stacks: crown rebuild
- Spalled brick and open joints on the weather side: chimney repair
- Uncapped flues on older Bowl homes: cap replacement
- Water at the ceiling line beside the chimney: flashing replacement and leak repair
- Birds nesting in an open multi-flue stack: animal and nest removal
- Creosote buildup from a fireplace used every winter: chimney sweep

Edmonds chimney service FAQ
Can you repair the original chimney on an older Edmonds Bowl home?
Yes. Older brick with soft mortar needs a compatible mortar and careful joint work rather than a hard modern mix, and multi-flue stacks need each flue checked separately. We quote the crown, cap and repointing as line items so you can see what is essential now and what can wait. The quote is free.
The brick on the water side of my chimney is flaking. What does that mean?
Flaking, or spalling, means water has been getting into the brick and freezing. The weather-facing side of an Edmonds chimney soaks up the most rain, so it fails first. We replace the damaged brick, repoint the joints and fix whatever let the water in, usually the crown or a missing cap.
Do you provide Level 2 inspections for Edmonds home sales?
Yes. NFPA 211 recommends a Level 2 inspection with a camera when a home changes hands, and Edmonds' older flues often have tile cracks or offsets you cannot see from the top. We provide a written report with photos and can schedule around the inspection period. The quote is free.
Do you cover Woodway and Esperance from Edmonds?
Yes. Woodway and unincorporated Esperance are on the same route as the rest of Edmonds, as are Perrinville, Meadowdale and Lake Ballinger. They get the same free quote, free second opinion, price match plus 10–25% off, and our re-do guarantee.
How soon can you get to Edmonds?
We run south Snohomish County regularly, so when a crew is already in Lynnwood or Shoreline we can often add an Edmonds stop the same day. Otherwise we book the next county date when you call. There is no charge for the visit or the quote either way.
