Chimney Liner Installation Process

How We Install Your Liner Right

First, we inspect your existing chimney to determine the correct liner size and type for your specific appliance. This isn’t guesswork—wrong sizing creates dangerous conditions that most contractors miss.

Next, we carefully remove any old liner materials and prepare the chimney structure. Our team installs the new stainless steel liner from top to bottom, ensuring proper connections at both ends with appropriate insulation where required.

Finally, we test the entire system for proper draft and seal all connections. You get documentation of the work completed, including any warranty information. The whole process typically takes one day, and you can use your fireplace safely that same evening.

How much does chimney liner installation cost in Barrington?

Chimney liner installation in Barrington typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on your chimney height, liner type, and complexity of the installation. Stainless steel liners cost more upfront but last 15-20+ years compared to aluminum options that may need replacement in 5-10 years. We provide free estimates that break down all costs clearly, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Factors affecting price include chimney height, whether insulation is required, connection types needed, and any structural repairs discovered during inspection.
For most Barrington homes, 316-grade stainless steel liners provide the best long-term value and safety. These handle all fuel types—wood, gas, or oil—and resist corrosion from coastal moisture that’s common in Rhode Island. Flexible stainless steel works for most installations, while rigid liners are sometimes needed for specific applications. The key is proper sizing: too small creates poor draft and potential carbon monoxide issues, while oversized liners don’t draft properly either. Our CSI-certified technicians calculate the exact size based on your heating appliance specifications, not guesswork.
Most chimney liner installations in Barrington homes take 4-8 hours to complete, usually finished in one day. Simple installations in straight chimneys with easy access move faster, while homes with complex chimney configurations or structural repairs needed may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your free estimate based on your specific situation. Weather can affect timeline since we work on your roof, but we schedule around conditions to avoid delays. You can typically use your fireplace the same evening after installation and final testing.
If your current liner is cracked, deteriorating, or improperly sized, yes—it’s a safety issue, not just a recommendation. Clay tile liners in older Barrington homes often crack from freeze-thaw cycles, allowing dangerous gases into your living space. Unlined chimneys are fire hazards that don’t meet current safety codes. Signs you need liner replacement include white staining on exterior chimney walls, rust on damper or firebox, strong odors, or poor draft performance. Our inspection will show you exactly what’s happening inside your chimney with camera equipment, so you can make an informed decision based on facts, not sales pressure.
A properly sized and installed stainless steel liner dramatically improves draft performance, which means better heat output and no smoke entering your room. Many Barrington homeowners are surprised how much better their fireplace works after liner installation. Improved draft also means more complete combustion, so you use less wood for the same heat output. Gas appliances benefit too—proper liner sizing ensures efficient operation and prevents dangerous backdrafting. If you’ve been dealing with smoky fires or poor heating performance, the right liner installation often solves these problems completely.
Chimney liner installation requires specific knowledge of sizing calculations, building codes, and safety procedures that most homeowners don’t have. Incorrect installation creates serious safety hazards including carbon monoxide poisoning and house fires. You also need specialized tools and equipment to do the job safely. Most importantly, improper installation voids manufacturer warranties and may violate local building codes in Barrington. Insurance companies may deny claims if unpermitted work causes damage. The cost difference between DIY mistakes and professional installation isn’t worth risking your family’s safety or your home’s value.
