Redmond is a newer-home city, and that changes what we pack in the truck. Most of the fireplaces we see on Education Hill, in Overlake and out toward Redmond Ridge are factory-built units inside wood-framed chases, so the common jobs are rusted chase covers, leaking chases and cracked refractory panels rather than crumbling brick. We reach Redmond from our Renton office in about 30 minutes on I-405 and SR 520 outside peak traffic.
Every Redmond quote is free, including a second-opinion quote on an estimate another company already gave you; if the scope is right, we match their number and take 10–25% off. Chase cover replacement starts at $299, chase rebuilds at $299, fireplace crack repair at $299 and a sweep and inspection at $299. When a crew is already on the Eastside we can often come the same day. If you're not happy, we're not done.
We serve every part of Redmond: Downtown Redmond, Education Hill, Overlake, Grass Lawn, Willows, Bear Creek, North Redmond, Idylwood, Sammamish Valley, Viewpoint, Redmond Ridge, Union Hill and English Hill, across ZIP codes 98052 and 98053.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Redmond
Redmond sits in the Sammamish River valley with wooded hills on both sides, and the regional rain pattern measured at Sea-Tac applies: roughly 73% of the 40.34-inch annual normal falls between October and March. Galvanized chase covers sitting in that much water rust from the low spots outward, and the rust streaks down the siding are usually the first sign a homeowner notices.
Western Washington moss spreads fastest from October through April on tree-shaded, north-facing surfaces that dry slowly. Redmond's tall second-growth firs on Education Hill and Redmond Ridge shade a lot of roofs, so moss on the uphill side of a chase and on older brick crowns is routine here.
Redmond's median home dates to 1993, and the housing is mostly 1980s–2010s subdivisions and townhomes that grew up with Overlake and Education Hill. A home from that era typically has a factory-built metal fireplace venting through a sided chase with a galvanized sheet-metal cover on top, not a masonry stack.
Brick chimneys do show up in the older Redmond core and around Grass Lawn, and those typically need crown, cap and mortar attention. On a prefab system the parts that fail are the cover, the chase framing and the firebox panels, and we carry replacements for all three.
- Rusted or pitted galvanized chase covers on 1990s prefab systems: chase cover replacement
- Water inside the framed chase and soft wood at the top: chase repair or chase rebuild
- Cracked refractory panels in a factory-built firebox: fireplace crack repair
- Stains on the ceiling near the fireplace wall after storms: chimney leak repair
- Fireplaces that have not been used in years by a new owner: chimney inspection
- Crown and cap wear on brick chimneys near Grass Lawn: crown rebuild

Scheduling & arrival in Redmond
Redmond is about 30 minutes from Renton, so we route it with Bellevue, Kirkland and Sammamish on Eastside days rather than treating it as a separate trip. Call 206-453-2045 with the neighborhood and whether the fireplace is metal or brick, and we will offer the next Eastside date or a same-day slot if a crew is already across the lake.

Redmond chimney service FAQ
My Redmond house has a metal fireplace. Do you work on those?
Yes. Factory-built fireplaces in framed chases are the most common system in Redmond, and most of our calls here are for them. We replace the chase cover, repair or rebuild the chase, and fix cracked firebox panels. Cover replacement starts at $299 and chase rebuilds at $299, quoted free before any work begins.
There are rust streaks down the side of my chimney chase. How serious is that?
Rust streaks almost always mean the galvanized cover on top has started to fail. Once water gets under it, it soaks the plywood and framing inside the chase, and that is far more expensive to fix than the cover. We will look at it for free and tell you whether a new cover alone will solve it.
Can you do a chimney inspection before I close on a Redmond home?
Yes. NFPA 211 recommends a Level 2 inspection when a home changes hands, which includes a camera look down the flue. We schedule those to fit inspection contingencies and give you a written report you can use in negotiations. The quote is free, and we can often fit Eastside inspections in quickly.
Do you cover Redmond Ridge and the Novelty Hill area?
Yes. Redmond Ridge, Trilogy, Union Hill and Novelty Hill are on the same route as the rest of Redmond, and the housing there is almost all prefab chases, which is work we do every week. We also cover Cottage Lake and the Sammamish Plateau on the same day.
Another Redmond company quoted me a full chase rebuild. Do I need it?
Sometimes, but not always. We offer a free second-opinion quote: we check whether the rot is limited to the top framing, which is a repair, or has spread down the chase, which is a rebuild. If the other quote is right for the job, we match it and take 10–25% off.
