Was hoping to see what people are paying for masonry chimneys. Need to add a new one, the last one I did was stainless tripple wall, but my new old house is stone and would like to keep with the times of the house.
If thinking stone, your could maybe have a chase built and then have the cultured stone installed.
Gonna cost alot for real field stone. Plus you'll need a footer poured to support all the weight.
With the cultured, no poured footer needed I believe. Just chase, wire mesh and stickem on. Of course not as easy as that. But alot less weight.
In my area a 2 flue fireplace chimney cost between 6500 / 7500 the second 8/8 flue is for a furnace in the cellar
I am talking about standard 5" wide fire place facing with an opening roughly 30 /30 using 12/12 clay flue liner
An exterior chimney that once past the fire box it is coppled in to 26/28" with the rest of the run cost wise up to 24'
If for a wood stove only one could do a few things cheaper brick fact the wall and still do the hearth but only supply a thimble to one 8/8 flue
No built in fireplace but a place to install a free standing stove the outside can be done cheaper with chimney block or still use brick my guess with brick and the
brick front hearth $3500 with chimney block outside probably less than $3000
This is an estimate and pricing can vary for different sections of the country Stone facing will cost more material wise and labor wise
