Chimney pest screens keep birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats out of your flue while allowing smoke to escape freely. Red Brick Chimney Services has been installing pest screens across Lower Mainland since 2013, protecting homes from unwanted animal intrusions and the damage they cause.
Here’s what you can expect to pay:
Standard: $200–$500 with new cap. Retrofit: $300–$600 for existing openings. Multi-flue: $400–$900. Animal removal + screen: $500–$1,200, including humane removal and prevention.
Inspect chimney, check animals, plan humane removal if needed.
Humanely remove animals, ensuring none remain before screening.
We clear nests, debris, droppings, ensuring safe, proper airflow.
Install metal screens to keep animals out, allow smoke.
The city aWe seal any other potential entry points around the chimney to ensure complete protection. the work, and we back it with our workmanship guarantee.
Nesting materials are highly flammable. A single spark can ignite a nest, causing a dangerous chimney fire that spreads to your home.
Nests block smoke and dangerous gases from escaping. Using your fireplace with a blocked flue can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Animals damage flue liners, tear apart mortar, and leave corrosive droppings that deteriorate masonry.
Animal droppings carry diseases and parasites. Dead animals create terrible odors and attract insects.
Scratching, chirping, and movement sounds are disturbing, especially at night when animals are most active.
Removing established nests, cleaning contaminated flues, and repairing damage costs far more than prevention.
REVIEWS
Outstanding Chimney Brick Repair! I hired Red Brick Chimney to repair the brickwork on my dad’s 75-year-old house, and I couldn’t be happier. Mike was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. He carefully assessed the damage, explained the work, and gave a fair estimate — unlike other companies that wanted to remove and cap the old chimney for more money. Mike’s repair was excellent: the bricks were repointed, mortar joints reinforced, and metal mesh added to keep animals out. He worked safely, cleaned up daily, and kept us updated throughout. I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and service. Mike went above and beyond — my dad’s old chimney looks brand new again! Highly recommend Red Brick Chimney Ltd.
Mike @ Red Brick was good to deal with. He provided me an estimate that was clear and detailed the work needed. He was very in tune with what had to be done to my aging chimneys. (I had issues with one chimney leaking water at the base after heavy rain.) I was impressed with the great job he did overall. My chimneys look way better. The new flashing looks good and I’m confident the leaking issue is fixed. He gave me a written warranty. I would highly recommend Mike and Red Brick Chimney!
We needed some help with a chimney removal and Mike was great. Easy to reach, prompt, reasonable, helpful and professional. Good guy, good work, best price of anyone we talked to.
Very happy with the work done on my chimney flashing. Clean, affordable and professional. Would recommend to anyone needing any chimney/masonry repair.
