What affects the price?
A few honest variables that move a quote up or down:
- Condition & access: a steep roof, a tall chimney, or heavy creosote buildup takes more time.
- System type: wood, gas, oil and pellet systems have different requirements.
- Scope: a patch repair costs far less than a full crown rebuild or reline.
- Inspection level: a Level 2 (camera-scanned, real-estate) inspection is more involved than a Level 1.
- Materials: stainless vs. aluminum liners, copper vs. galvanized caps, and so on.
