There are three main reasons to have a beautiful chimney:
Safety
Curb appeal
Resale value
Let’s talk about safety first. An old, worn-down, damaged chimney with missing or damaged masonry is a disaster waiting to happen. Every hole cut through your roof is a potential source for a leak. And you can’t know when it’s going to happen, but since everything tends to degrade over time, without regular maintenance, you can be sure your chimney will eventually start to leak. That’s a risk you don’t want to take.
When your chimney starts leaking water into your home, it can cause severe water damage to your ceiling and your home’s wooden structure. Water leaks can also cause electrical damage and even a fire if not repaired fast.
Having your chimney inspected, repaired, and waterproofed is essential when you live in the PNW.
Curb appeal matters. Most homeowners care about how their properties look and want them to present well to the rest of the neighborhood. An ugly chimney will tank your curb appeal fast.
Resale value. Should you ever decide to sell your home in the future, you’ll want it to sell for as much as possible. Unfortunately, if your chimney is worn down and looks awful, some potential buyers will walk. People just don’t want to deal with small repairs they believe homeowners should complete before putting their home on the market. If they don’t walk away, they’ll lower their offer to account for all the repairs they’ll need to handle after the purchase. And it won’t be a 1-for-1 ratio, either. The amount of money you’ll pay to fix your chimney significantly less than the money you’ll lose on the sale because of your chimney.
