Repairs for older Boston homes
Want to know the cost before anyone visits your Boston home? Our chimney liner pricing page works out an estimate from your appliance, your chimney's height and roof access. No email, no callback.
Chimney relining establishes a suitable internal passage for the appliance and fuel being vented. Brown Chimney assesses Boston flues where an existing liner is damaged, its condition is uncertain or a new appliance changes the requirements. A liner needs to work as part of the complete venting system.
Selection considers diameter, height, bends, material suitability, connections and the required insulation. There is no single metal specification that fits every fuel and appliance. The proposed installation follows the liner listing, appliance instructions and applicable requirements for that arrangement.
In an older Boston building, the outer masonry can look intact while the flue inside needs further evaluation. Shared stacks also require clear identification of the flue being used. We establish those details before quoting or assuming the existing passage is ready for new equipment.
A chimney liner selected and installed as part of the appliance's venting system
The quote should describe the selected liner system, its size, any necessary removal, insulation, supports and termination. Appliance connectors and access to the base are part of the installation discussion. Required insulation belongs in the scope from the start rather than being presented as an optional climate upgrade.
After installation, the connection and accessible completed work are checked and documented. The handover identifies the appliance served and any ongoing inspection or cleaning needs. Relining does not automatically repair external brickwork, the crown or the roof connection; those conditions are assessed separately.
A chimney inspection can clarify flue condition. Relining may support a new fireplace installation, while damaged outer masonry may need separate repairs.
A change in equipment or a documented flue defect is a reason to evaluate the venting system. Symptoms alone do not establish which liner or repair is appropriate.
We assess the flue and appliance, select an appropriate system and define access and removal needs. Installation includes the specified connections and required insulation, followed by documentation of the completed work.
01
The flue is assessed before anything is quoted. Where the interior needs to be seen rather than assumed, a camera inspection is offered as its own line — you'll know the cost before we run it.

02
The liner is selected and sized for the appliance, fuel, chimney dimensions and venting requirements. The proposed system identifies an appropriate listed liner, connectors and any required insulation. Material suitability follows the appliance and liner instructions and applicable requirements, rather than a single metal specification for every installation.
03
Where a failed liner is already in place, it comes out first — top plate, cap, and full extraction — and the bare flue is re-inspected before anything new goes down.
04
The selected liner is installed with the required insulation, supports, termination and appliance connection. The installation follows the liner listing, appliance instructions and applicable requirements. Insulation required for the selected system is included in the installation scope; it is not treated as an optional cold-weather upgrade.
05
The appliance connection is completed and the finished installation walked through with you, with the 1-year workmanship warranty on all labor performed.

Our first chimney cleaning for our wood stove and could not have asked for a better, swifter and quality experience. Many thanks to the Brown Chimney team.

Camera evaluation, old-liner removal and difficult access must be identified where needed.
The quote should include insulation required by the selected listed system and installation conditions.
Masonry, crown, flashing and appliance replacement are separate scopes unless listed with the liner work.
