Chimney Demolition in Albany, IL

How much does chimney removal cost?

Complete chimney removals cost $2,000-$4,000 on average. The cost of chimney removal includes removing the chimney stack and the chimney breast, as well as rectifying the resulting space. Because chimney removal involves filling in the new hole in your home, costs can vary quite a bit.

The price to remove your chimney could be more or less depending on:

• Size and complexity of your chimney
• Materials used to build it
• Who you hire to remove it

If you have a bolt-on style chimney attached to the face of the house, it will cost less to remove than a chimney located inside your home. If your chimney is part of the structural framing of the house, you should expect the removal to cost more in order to make the necessary framing adjustments.

Could I remove my chimney myself?

It is much safer and more efficient to hire a professional to remove your chimney. Handling chimney removal yourself is more likely to lead to structural damage to the roof/home and could lead to serious injury.
