A good cap will minimize exposure to water of the brick work under it, thereby increasing your long term cost savings. It will cost you $300 to $500 to purchase the cap and rent a hoist and safety harness to get the cap on top of the chimney. A mason or bricklayer will charge $1,000 to $1,500 to do the job.
But ignoring your chimney can cost you big-time. A cracked chimney crown or spalling bricks can easily cost $1,000 to repair. And, if left untreated, the damage can accelerate quickly, and cost you upward of $3,000.It doesn't have to be that way. By simply sealing the bricks and the crown and adding a chimney cap, you'll greatly extend your chimney's life.The materials cost less than $300, and you can complete all three procedures in just a few hours. You'd pay a pro about $1,000 to do all three, so the savings is huge.You'll have to climb up on your roof twice (once to measure the flue liner to order the correct chimney cap and once to perform the procedures).he materials cost less than $300, and you can complete all three procedures in just a few hours.
