Stone chimney !?!?
We have 3 STONE chimneys. 2 of them have caused leaks. Spent $1200 to repair only to have leaks again. We got a masonry company to come look and it’s going to cost us 36k to repair two fkn chimneys.
Is this normal?? We aren’t on Long Island but I need to see if anyone has dealt with this before. I’m trying to remain calm because my husband is stressed AF but I’m Slowly freaking out.
I haven’t used my oven in a month and it might be another 1-2 months before it’s fixed.
Eta: house is approx 140 years old

Can you rebuild in brick? That's probably less expensive.

Sorry, not stone but I didn't care about the look on my brick chimney so they just slapped some tar on there.

I am in lower Westchester. We used Mr. Chimney for two repairs and cleaning and found them to be reasonable. We were please with the work. http://www.mrchimney.com
