Our office is in Renton, about 20 minutes south of downtown on I-5 or I-405, so a Seattle call is a short trip.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Seattle
Sea-Tac's 1991–2020 normal is 40.34 inches of rain a year, about 73% of it October through March. Seattle sees roughly 60 days a year that touch 32°F but only about 4 that stay frozen all day, so wet brick freezes and thaws repeatedly, and saturated masonry cycling like that cracks and spalls. Tree-shaded lots in Ravenna and Magnolia grow moss fastest October to April, and moss holds water in open mortar joints.
Seattle's median home was built in 1976; the stock runs from 1920s–40s Craftsman bungalows through mid-century ramblers to heavy post-2000 infill, and about half the homes predate the late 1980s. Pre-1970 houses in Wallingford, Ballard and Beacon Hill typically have brick masonry chimneys with original mortar and a clay tile or unlined flue. Post-1985 townhomes typically use factory-built chimneys in a framed chase.

Seattle chimney service FAQ
Do you work on the old brick chimneys in Seattle's Craftsman neighborhoods?
Yes. Much of Seattle's pre-1970 housing has brick masonry chimneys, and that is the bulk of our repair work: repointing mortar, replacing spalled brick, repairing or rebuilding crowns and fitting caps. We inspect the flue at the same time so you know whether the inside needs attention.
How fast can you get to a Seattle address from Renton?
Our office is about 20 minutes from central Seattle outside rush hour, and same-day service is often available. When you call, we tell you honestly whether we can be there today or at the next open slot. Leak calls during heavy rain get priority.
I have a townhome in Ballard with a metal-topped chimney. Is that something you fix?
Yes. That is a factory-built chimney inside a framed chase. The galvanized chase cover rusts through and leaks into the chase, rotting the framing. We replace chase covers starting at $299 and repair or rebuild rotted chases, with chase rebuilds starting at $299.
Should I get a chimney inspection before buying a house in Seattle?
We recommend it, and NFPA 211 recommends a Level 2 inspection when a home changes hands. Seattle's older stock often hides flue damage a general home inspector will not see. We document the flue with a camera so you can negotiate with facts.
Will you match a quote I already got from another Seattle chimney company?
Yes. Bring us the written quote and we will give you a free second-opinion quote, match their price and take 10–25% off. We also check whether the quoted scope fits what your chimney actually needs, since sometimes a smaller repair solves it.
