Newcastle is our closest neighbor. Our office is in North Renton and most of Newcastle is about 10 minutes up Coal Creek Parkway or 116th Ave SE, so a repair call from Hazelwood, Olympus or the neighborhoods along Newcastle Golf Club Road often gets a same-day visit. The city's housing is typically 1980s-2000s subdivisions on the Cougar Mountain foothills, which means the chimney is usually a factory-built fireplace in a wood-framed chase rather than brick. The repairs those need are chase cover replacement, flashing where the chase meets the roof, a storm collar that has slipped, or a pipe joint that separated in the attic. The older homes down toward Lake Boren and May Creek do have brick chimneys, and those get the usual mortar, crown and spalled-brick repairs.
Every repair begins with a free quote, and if you already have one from another company we give a free second-opinion quote, then price match and take 10 to 25 percent off. Our chase cover replacement starts at $299, crown rebuild at $299, chase rebuild at $299 and fireplace crack repair at $299. If you are not happy with the repair, we are not done.
Symptoms
Signs Newcastle homeowners notice
- Water stains or bubbling paint on the ceiling or wall next to the fireplace
- Rust-colored streaks running down siding or brick below the top of the chimney
- Chips of brick, mortar, or concrete in the gutter or on the ground
- Visible cracks in the concrete slab at the top of the chimney
- 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
Newcastle Conditions
Why this happens in Newcastle
Newcastle sits on the western slope of Cougar Mountain, and the weather comes up the hill from the Lake Washington side. Homes in the upper plats off SE 72nd St and along the May Creek ravine are heavily treed, and a chase or chimney on the north side of a roof under that canopy stays damp from the first October rain until April, which is the moss season here. The area averages 40.34 inches a year, about 73 percent of it between October and March.
Framed chases are more vulnerable to that than brick. A galvanized chase cover holds water, rusts, and drips into the chase, and the OSB and framing inside soak it up before anyone sees a stain. Add roughly 60 freezing days a year and a wet chase starts to rot at the top plate. Catching it at the chase-cover stage, starting at $299, is far cheaper than a chase rebuild, which starts at $299.
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 Newcastle — FAQ
How fast can you get to a Newcastle chimney repair?
Often within the hour if a truck is between jobs. Newcastle is about 10 minutes from our North Renton office by Coal Creek Parkway, so it is the easiest place on our map to fit in. Call in the morning and same-day service is likely. We confirm the arrival window by phone first.
My Newcastle home has a siding-covered chimney, not brick. Can you repair that?
Yes. That is a framed chase around a factory-built chimney, and it is the most common type in Newcastle's 1980s-2000s plats. We replace rusted chase covers starting at $299, rebuild rotted chases starting at $299, reflash the base, and repair the metal pipe inside. Free quote, and we price match any written bid.
How soon can you do chimney repair in Newcastle?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Newcastle and the rest of King County.
