Professional Chimney Removal in San Jose & the Bay Area
Safe teardown of unused or damaged chimneys.
When a chimney becomes structurally unstable, unused, or part of a remodel, professional removal is the safest solution. Our team provides code-compliant demolition and cleanup for chimneys throughout the San Jose and nearby cities.
Our Chimney Demolition & Removal Services
Removing a chimney involves more than knocking down bricks. It requires attention to structural support and rooftop protection. We handle the full process from teardown to debris cleanup.
We perform safe and complete dismantling of chimneys, ensuring proper handling of brick, mortar, and structural elements:
- Partial chimney removal (above roofline)
- Full chimney teardown (brick and flue)
- Interior fireplace removal (see Fireplace Removal)
- Cap and seal options
We coordinate safe debris removal and rooftop protection throughout.
Why Hire a Professional Demo Crew?
Chimneys are structural — removing them without proper care can cause collapse or water damage.
Our licensed and insured team ensures:
- Roof and attic stabilization
- Brick and mortar dismantling without damage
- Proper debris removal and disposal
From start to finish, we follow safety protocols and protect the surrounding structure.
What Affects the Cost of Chimney Demolition & Removal?
Several factors impact the cost of your project. We offer fast, accurate quotes based on your layout and scope.
Your quote will depend on:
- Location and travel distance
- Height and access (2-story vs. single story)
- Partial vs. full removal
- Roof material and slope
- Interior vs. exterior location
- Debris weight and disposal fees
Estimates typically require photos or site visit, but we respond quickly and work around your schedule.
