A new chimney is a structural project, not just a stack of brick. Quick Chimney builds chimneys from the ground up, starting with a proper footing and ending with a crown and cap designed to shed water for decades. Whether you are adding a fireplace, building a new home, or replacing a chimney that is past saving, we handle the full build from plan to final inspection.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a new chimney?
Most residential chimney builds take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on height, materials, weather, and whether a new footing is required. After we assess your site, we give you a clear timeline before any work starts.
Should I choose a masonry chimney or a prefabricated one?
Masonry chimneys are built from brick, block, or stone and tend to last the longest, while prefabricated systems install faster and often cost less. The right choice depends on your home's structure, the appliance being vented, and your budget. We walk you through both options before you decide.
Do I need a permit to build a new chimney?
In most areas, yes. New chimney construction is structural work that typically requires a building permit and inspection. We follow local codes on every build and can help you understand what your municipality requires.
