Price

What drives the cost of chimney removal in River Rouge

  • 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 River Rouge home was built around 1940, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in River Rouge

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in River Rouge was built around 1940. 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

73% 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 River Rouge building department before work starts.
