Hi wood burners,
I got my first quote in for an install of a free standing stove.
The guy told me that he can't cut through the roof, so we would have to go through the wall.
I've attached a couple of photos of the room and the roof location. The quote seems pretty high to me.
The install, including the chimney, hearth pad, and piping came to $4,250 and I buy the stove separately. The big ticket item was the cost of the class A chimney at $2,975. Even if we had to go two feet above our existing chimney, we would need about 16' of chimney at the most.
I am getting more estimates from others who would be able to go through our roof for the install in our preferred location.
Anyone have an idea at what I should be looking at for an install quote? Anything wrong with me just buying DuraVent chimney at Lowes for a third of that price? Anyone see anything wrong with my proposed stove placement? My wife's pet lizard would be moved of course.
