To get a rough idea, estimate job time and material cost.
My not so educated guess is 2 guys all day for a job like that.
Not sure about typical rates, but maybe $100/hr.
Bricks are pretty cheap unless you have something unusual.
Google says .50 a brick.
So maybe $1700.
Thanks for the rough idea. As this is a two story house with most of the bricks to be replaced
closer to the top of the chimney, I would assume that scaffolding would have to be used so that
would increase the cost by 10% or 20% or so?
