Water around the chimney or fireplace
A leak can involve the flashing, crown, masonry or another part of the chimney. We check the affected area to identify what needs repair rather than treating every leak as the same problem.
Cracked or worn masonry
Loose, cracked or deteriorating brick and mortar can call for masonry repair or tuckpointing. The location and extent of the damage help determine the repair needed.
A damaged crown or chimney cap
A cracked crown or damaged cap can leave parts of the chimney exposed. We can repair the crown or install a replacement cap based on what we find.
Smoke or draft problems
Smoke entering the room or a fireplace that does not draw properly may point to a damper, smoke chamber or other chimney issue. We inspect the relevant components before recommending a fix.
Damage to a liner or chimney structure
A damaged liner, chase cover or section of masonry can require repair or replacement. The right scope depends on which component is affected and how much of it needs work.

What Happens During a Chimney Repair Visit
- Tell us what you have noticed — When you book, describe the problem, such as water entry, cracked masonry or smoke coming into the room. Have the affected area accessible, and share when you first noticed the issue if you know.
- We assess the affected parts — We examine the chimney or fireplace components related to the reported problem. A closer inspection helps distinguish, for example, a crown issue from flashing damage or a liner concern.
- We explain the repair scope — We tell you what needs attention and recommend only the services your home needs. The work may involve one component or several, depending on the condition and extent of the damage.
- We complete the agreed work — Once the repair plan is clear, we carry out the applicable repair, such as tuckpointing, a cap installation or liner work. Visit length depends on the scope: a focused repair and a chimney rebuild involve different work.
Chimney Repair in Minneapolis: What Shapes the Price
Repair cost depends on which part of the chimney is damaged, how extensive the damage is, and whether the job involves repair, replacement or rebuilding. Access to the affected component and the amount of material and labor required also shape the work. We assess the issue and explain the recommended scope before proceeding.
For reference, chimney inspections start from $39, chimney sweep and cleaning services start from $89, and chimney cap installation starts from $125. Those are prices for those specific services, not a price for every chimney repair. To request an assessment, contact MN Chimney Sweep with a description of the problem.

The price depends on the damaged component, the extent of the problem and the labor and materials involved. We inspect the issue and explain the repair scope so the price reflects the work your chimney needs.
How much should it cost to replace a chimney?

Yes. We serve Saint Paul as part of our Twin Cities metro service area, which extends within 50 miles. Describe the damage when you book so we can understand which chimney components may need attention.

We handle smoky fireplace repairs and can inspect related parts such as the damper or smoke chamber. The cause needs to be identified before the repair can be determined.
