Arlington is the far north end of our service area, about 60 minutes from our Renton office up I-5, and we cover it properly: the older homes along the downtown grid and the Stillaguamish River side, the Arlington Heights and Bryant areas east of town, and the newer Smokey Point neighborhoods toward the freeway. On the older houses, which typically carry a brick chimney, repair means tuckpointing eroded mortar, replacing spalled brick, rebuilding a failed crown and fitting a proper cap. On the newer homes, which typically have a factory-built fireplace in a framed chase, it means replacing a rusted chase cover, repairing the chase top and resealing the flue. We carry materials for both so one trip usually does it.
Because of the drive, we make Arlington visits count. You get a free quote with photos, and if you already have a quote from someone else, a free second-opinion quote with price match plus 10 to 25 percent off. Specials start at $299 for a crown rebuild, $299 for a chase cover and $299 for fireplace crack repair. We are certified and insured, we use safe, green materials, and if you are not happy, we are not done. Call 206-453-2045, or book a chimney inspection to find out what the chimney actually needs.

Arlington Conditions
Why this happens in Arlington
Arlington chimneys face the same wet-season pattern the rest of Puget Sound does. Sea-Tac's NOAA normals, the regional reference, show 40.34 inches of annual precipitation with about 73 percent of it between October and March, and winter lows that average just above freezing (37.7 F in January). Brick that soaks through in November typically goes through a freeze at night and a thaw by day again and again before spring. The Brick Industry Association documents that saturated masonry under repeated freeze-thaw cracks, spalls and disintegrates, and that improperly filled mortar joints are where the water gets in. On Arlington's older brick chimneys, open joints on the weather side are typically the first repair.
Tree cover matters here. Arlington lots, especially east of town, typically sit under mature evergreens, and regional guidance says Western Washington moss spreads fastest October through April on shaded surfaces that dry slowly. Moss on the shaded face of an Arlington chimney typically holds water in the joints, which is why that side needs repair first.
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 Arlington — FAQ
Is Arlington really inside your service area from Renton?
Yes. Arlington is about 60 minutes from our Renton office and we run it as a scheduled north Snohomish County stop with Marysville, Smokey Point and Lake Stevens. We batch those calls so the drive does not push your price up; the free quote is the same as anywhere else. Call 206-453-2045 for the next route day.
Do you repair chimneys on rural Arlington properties outside city limits?
Yes, anywhere we can reach by road, including Arlington Heights, Bryant and the river valley. Rural chimneys typically see more tree shade and moss, so we check the joints and crown on the shaded face carefully. Tell us the address when you call and we will confirm the route day and give a free quote.
How soon can you do chimney repair in Arlington?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Arlington and the rest of Snohomish County.
