Kenmore's housing is typically a mix of 1950s-70s ramblers and split-levels on the slopes north of the lake, older lakeside cottages along the Sammamish River mouth and Lake Washington shore, and 1990s-and-later homes in the Inglewood and Moorlands areas and along the SR 522 corridor. The older homes bring us brick repair: spalled faces and crumbling mortar on the side facing the lake, cracked crowns, rusted dampers, and chimneys that have pulled away from the house on soft ground near the water. The newer ones bring us factory-built chimney repair: rusted chase covers, failed flashing on a framed chase, and separated pipe joints.
We give a free quote on all of it, a free second-opinion quote if you already have a bid, and we price match and take 10 to 25 percent off. Fireplace crack repair starts at $299, crown rebuild at $299, chase cover replacement at $299 and chase rebuild at $299. Kenmore is about 35 minutes from our North Renton office up I-405 and across the SR 522 corridor, and we route Kenmore jobs with Bothell, Lake Forest Park and Woodinville so we can usually get there within a day, often the same day.

- A chimney that leans, or a gap opening between the chimney and the house
- Smoky or musty smells from the fireplace when it is not in use
Kenmore Conditions
Why this happens in Kenmore
Kenmore chimneys sit at the low, wet end of the lake. Storms come up Lake Washington from the south and hit the Uplake and Arrowhead shoreline head-on, and the flats near the Sammamish River and Log Boom Park hold damp air long after the rain stops. The area gets 40.34 inches a year, about 29.65 of it between October and March, and with roughly 60 freezing days a year and lows averaging 37-38F, saturated brick on a lakeside chimney freezes and thaws night after night, which is what spalls the faces and opens the joints.
Up the hill, the lots around Saint Edward State Park and in Moorlands are heavily wooded, and chimneys on the shaded side of those roofs grow moss from October through April. We clean it, repoint what it has opened, and recommend a cap and water repellent so the next wet season does less damage.
How It Works
Our chimney repair process
Free quote visit
We inspect the chimney top to bottom, photograph what we find, and hand you a written quote. If you have another company's quote, we review it with you.
Diagnose the entry point
We identify which component is actually letting water, smoke, or heat through, instead of replacing parts on guesswork.
Repair in the right order
Top components come first so the structure dries out, then masonry, then the firebox.
Same-day work when possible
Many crown, cap, cover, and flashing repairs are done on the first visit. Masonry and chase rebuilds are scheduled for a dry window.
Walk-through and guarantee
We show you photos of the finished work. If you are not happy, we are not done, and we re-do it at no charge.

Chimney Repair in Kenmore — FAQ
How long does it take you to get to Kenmore from Renton?
About 35 minutes up I-405 to SR 522 off-peak. We schedule Kenmore with nearby Bothell, Lake Forest Park and Woodinville stops, so we are usually in the area several days a week and can often make it the same day. We confirm an arrival window by phone before we leave.
My Kenmore chimney is leaning away from the house. Can that be repaired?
It depends on what moved. On soft ground near the lake and the Sammamish River we sometimes see a chimney footing settle and the stack pull away at the roofline. We inspect the gap, the footing and the flue, then give a free quote on whether it can be tied back and repointed or needs more. No charge to look.
How soon can you do chimney repair in Kenmore?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Kenmore and the rest of King County.
