Vernon Hills has a lot of newer housing, including townhomes and homes in planned neighborhoods. That adds a question we do not hear as often in older towns: who is responsible for the chimney?

If you own a townhome or live in a community with an association, the chimney may be your responsibility, or it may be covered by the association. Check your documents or ask your property manager before you call a contractor. Once you know, we are happy to help, and it is worth knowing that repairs to a shared roofline sometimes need the association’s sign-off.

For single-family homes in Vernon Hills, the usual advice applies: a yearly look at the chimney, a cleaning if you burn wood, and a quick check of the cap and flashing before winter.
