Existing 30 ft masonry chimney, through center of house up from
basement fireplace to roof. I want to reline it with an insulated
stainless steel liner down to a T though the wall just above the
fireplace,which will no longer be used.

Guy wants $2500, says it will take 1/2 day max, 4 people. Materials
cost him around $500-$700.

Reasonable?

Thanks!

16 man hours for $2000 is $125 per hour for each guy if they don't finish
early. $2500 sounds OK until you look at it that way. Get more quotes.
Does that include the city inspection fees and how long is the warranty, do
they need special equiment? You need to do it right or the insurance
company will balk.
