Price

What drives the cost of chimney removal in Pontiac

  • Removal to the roofline or full height through the house
  • Chimney height, size and number of flues
  • Roof pitch and access
  • Rerouting any active appliance venting
  • Roof patch and interior patching needed
  • Structural framing where the chimney passed through floors
  • The age of the home: the typical Pontiac home was built around 1961, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Pontiac

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Pontiac was built around 1961. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

49% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Pontiac building department before work starts.

Chimney Removal in Pontiac: FAQ

Often yes, especially when framing, the roof or a structural wall is opened, and the chimney must not still vent a furnace or water heater unless those appliances are revented first. Confirm with your local building department, which is BSEED in Detroit.
It is simpler and leaves the interior alone. Full removal gains space but involves more patching and framing.
Not if the opening is decked, underlaid, flashed and shingled correctly. Ask who warrants the roof patch.
