Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.
"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

Yes, permits are required for fireplace removal projects since they often involve structural modifications. These permits ensure the work meets local building codes and maintains your home's structural integrity. Permit costs range from $100 to $1,000, depending on your location and project complexity.
While contractors often handle permit applications, it's wise to confirm this is included in their service. Check with your local building department before starting any work to avoid potential complications.
The impact on home value varies by location and market preferences. In colder climates or luxury markets, removing a fireplace might decrease appeal and value. However, in warmer regions or homes with efficient heating systems, the impact may be negligible. In some cases, the additional usable space created by removing an underutilized fireplace actually enhances functionality and appeal. Consider consulting with a local real estate professional before proceeding to understand potential impacts in your specific market.
Fireplace removal project timelines vary based on complexity. Basic insert removals may take one to two days, while more extensive projects involving full chimney and fireplace demolition require five to 14 days. Masonry fireplace removal takes three to four days for the demolition phase alone, with additional time needed for structural repairs and finishing work. Weather conditions, unexpected structural issues, and inspection scheduling can all extend the overall timeline.
Yes, but removing a fireplace from a load-bearing wall requires specialized structural engineering expertise. The process involves installing temporary support structures, removing the fireplace, and adding permanent structural reinforcements such as steel beams or headers. Due to the structural complexity and safety concerns, this type of removal should never be attempted without professional expertise. Improper removal could lead to serious structural damage to your home.
