Lynnwood's housing is mostly ramblers and split-levels from the 1960s through the 1980s, with a median build year of 1979 and a growing share of condos and apartments around Alderwood. That means a lot of brick masonry chimneys that are now 45 to 60 years old, sitting next to a smaller number of later factory-built units. The masonry ones are where most of our Lynnwood repair calls come from: cracked mortar joints, spalled brick faces, loose or missing crowns, and fireboxes that have opened up at the back wall after decades of fires. On the split-levels, the chimney usually rises along an exterior wall and past two floors, so it catches weather on three sides and is easy to ignore until something falls off.
We drive up from our Renton office, about 40 minutes by I-405 and I-5, and we cover the neighborhoods the city folds in around it: Alderwood Manor, Martha Lake, Lake Stickney and Brier. Every Lynnwood repair starts with a free quote. Already have a bid? We give a free 2nd-opinion quote and will price match plus take 10-25% off. Same-day service is often available, and if you're not happy, we're not done: we come back and make it right at no charge. See what chimney repair covers, or call 206-453-2045.

Lynnwood Conditions
Why this happens in Lynnwood
Why do Lynnwood chimneys need this much repair? Age plus water. The 1960s-70s brick that makes up a large share of the city's homes has been through roughly 40 inches of rain a year, with about 73% of it falling between October and March, and around 150-156 days a year with measurable precipitation. The Brick Industry Association documents what that does: once brick and mortar are saturated, water freezing in the pores expands and causes cracking, spalling and eventual disintegration. Puget Sound winters don't stay frozen, which is the problem. Sea-Tac's normal winter lows sit around 37F, and the area touches 32F on roughly 60 days a year but stays below freezing all day on only about 4. Wet masonry crosses the freezing line over and over. On a split-level with an exposed exterior chimney, that typically shows up first as a crumbling crown and sandy mortar near the top, then as loose brick.
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 Lynnwood — FAQ
My Lynnwood split-level has a chimney on the outside wall with cracks near the top. Is that urgent?
Usually not an emergency, but it is the part that fails fastest, because the top third of an exterior chimney takes weather from every direction. We give a free quote that tells you whether it's tuckpointing, a crown rebuild starting at $299, or a partial rebuild, and what can safely wait.
Do you repair chimneys in Lynnwood condos near Alderwood?
Yes. Condo and townhome chimneys there are typically factory-built systems inside a framed chase, so repairs are usually chase covers, caps, flashing or liner sections rather than brick. We'll tell you which parts are yours and which the HOA usually handles, and put the quote in writing for both.
How soon can you do chimney repair in Lynnwood?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Lynnwood and the rest of Snohomish County.
