Chimneys in Redmond
Redmond has a long list of historic buildings, including the Perrigo Farm House (1909), the O.A. Wiley Home, known as The Stone House (1916), and the Justice White House (1889). Most chimneys are not that old, but a home from before 1920 may well have an original masonry chimney.
Redmond grew more than 30 times in area by annexation between 1951 and 1967, and the Evergreen Point bridge opened in 1963. Microsoft moved its headquarters here in 1986. The city has 31,738 housing units, built over very different decades, and an average of 35.96 inches of rain a year. A yearly chimney check suits every one of those eras.

Questions from Redmond homeowners
My Redmond home was built in the 1990s. What does the chimney need?
Often a factory-built flue or gas fireplace. A yearly check of the vent, cap and flashing is what applies.

They may have masonry chimneys that are 100 years old. We start with a Level 2 inspection and match repairs to the existing materials.
