What goes into relining your chimney
A liner for an open fireplace follows other sizing rules
When the flue serves a masonry fireplace rather than a sealed appliance, the code sizes it against the fireplace opening. A liner that is too small for the opening can leave the fireplace short of draft. That makes relining an open fireplace a different calculation from relining for a stove.
Tell us whether you plan to keep burning in the open fireplace or connect an appliance later. The answer changes which rule governs the liner size. We explain the basis for our sizing in the estimate, so you can see which part of the code the proposal relies on.
Why liner size affects draft
Flue gases rise because they are warmer than the air outside. A flue far larger than the appliance needs can let those gases cool and slow on the way up. Liner makers note that correct sizing matters most where flue gases run cool.
This is why an oversized liner is not a safety margin. We size to the appliance instructions and the listing, not to the largest pipe that fits. The estimate names the size and the reason for it, so it can be checked against the manual.
Protecting the room during a liner installation
A liner is lowered from the roof, but much of the work also happens at the fireplace or appliance. Soot and debris can fall as the old passage is disturbed. The room around the opening is covered before that work starts.
Tell us about finishes or furniture near the fireplace that need extra care. We clean the work area when the day ends and haul the debris away. If the appliance must be moved for the connection, we explain that before the visit so you can prepare the space.
What changes the size of a relining job
The length and route of the flue, the preparation needed and the parts the listing requires all change the scope of relining. Tile removal, glazed deposits and a wall connection add work. A straight, clean passage needs less.
We explain which of these apply to your chimney and price each one. The total is stated before you approve anything, with no hidden fees. If a line seems large, ask what drives it, and we show the reason behind it. Preparation is shown on its own lines rather than inside the liner price.

Common questions about a new flue liner
How do you decide what size liner my chimney needs?
We start from the appliance manual, which states the flue size the appliance requires, and the code rule that a flue may not be smaller than the appliance connector. Then we check whether the passage can take that size along its whole route.
Who handles the appliance itself during relining in Kendall?
Our work covers the liner, its top parts and the connection agreed in the estimate. If another company installs or services the appliance, we describe exactly where our scope ends so nothing falls between the two jobs.
Does relining change how my chimney looks from outside?
Usually only the top changes, where the top plate and the liner cap sit above the crown. If a wall connection is involved, the tee opening is finished and sealed. We describe any visible change in the estimate before work starts.
