Cons
- Not viable for structural failures
- May only buy 5-10 more years
Typical cost: $300-$2,500 typical
Chimney Replacement
Pros
- New code-compliant build
- 30-50 year lifespan reset
- Better insulation and draft performance
Cons

- 1-3 week project
- Permits and inspections required
Typical cost: $5,000-$20,000
Side-by-Side Summary
Quick reference if you only have a minute:
- Chimney Repair: $300-$2,500 typical — best when you want far less expensive
- Chimney Replacement: $5,000-$20,000 — best when you want new code-compliant build
Verdict
Repair if the damage is cosmetic, isolated, or under 30% of the structure. Replace if you have leaning, structural cracks, or repeated failed repairs.
