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.
The brick chimney is on an old cottage in New England. The brick fireplace and chimney was built about 100 years ago. It has been repointed and repaired over the years, but the exposed part of the chimney (about 8 ft) has deteriorated. The bricks are cracked and crumbling.
