Redmond's housing is young by Puget Sound standards. The median home here was built in 1993, and most of the city is 1980s–2010s subdivisions and townhomes around Education Hill and the Overlake growth corridor. That changes what "chimney repair" usually means. Instead of crumbling brick, the typical Redmond call is a factory-built fireplace inside a wood-framed chase: a rusted-through chase cover, rotted siding or trim at the top of the chase, a cracked refractory panel, or a termination cap that has lost its screen. Those are still chimney repairs, and we handle them. Chase cover replacement starts at $299.
The older Redmond core and Grass Lawn are a different story, with brick masonry chimneys that typically need tuckpointing, crown work or flashing resealing. Either way, the first step is the same: a free quote. If another company has already quoted you, we'll give a free second-opinion quote and price match plus 10–25% off. Redmond is about 30 minutes from our Renton office, so same-day service is often available. If you're not happy, we're not done: we re-do it at no charge.
Symptoms
Signs Redmond 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
Redmond Conditions
Why this happens in Redmond
Redmond's prefab-heavy stock means the weak point is typically sheet metal and wood, not brick. The Sea-Tac normals put 40.34 inches of rain a year on these chases, and about 73% of it falls October through March, when a chase stays wet for weeks at a stretch. Galvanized chase covers pond water and rust through; once the cover leaks, the framing and the firebox below it take the water.
The brick chimneys in the older core face the freeze-thaw problem instead. Winter lows average just above freezing (37.1°F in December), and the area sees about 60 days a year that touch 32°F but only about 4 that stay frozen all day, so saturated masonry freezes and thaws repeatedly rather than staying frozen. Brick industry guidance ties that cycle to cracked, spalled brick and open mortar joints. Either type deserves a look before November, the wettest month at 6.31 inches.
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 Redmond — FAQ
My Redmond townhome has a metal chimney, not brick. Can you still repair it?
Yes. Most Redmond homes built since the 1980s have a factory-built fireplace venting through a framed chase, and that is the majority of the repair work we do in the city. We replace chase covers and caps, repair refractory panels, and fix damaged chase siding and trim. The quote is free, and we price match plus 10–25% off.
