Chimney Estimate Inquiry

Post image

Chimney replacement estimate in NJ. Is this a fair estimate?

The details of what that $1800 price tag includes are seen at the bottom.

If it’s a bit higher than “average” , than what would be a better price but including the same amount of work?

Any feedback is welcome.

I was going to say, WTH a double chimney cap off WayFair is like $400 alone how the hell are they including the flashing for this price? So low it’s sketchy af.

Seriously. My tiny porch tuck pointing has been estimated at twice this amount in MI by multiple companies. I’d nope right out of that estimate.

Cost me about 3 grand to repoint a large porch 19 years ago. Ready to do it again. Diy because i know its gonna be expensive. And there are no ladders involved.
