What Chimney Relining actually costs in Aurora
Straightforward relining on a typical Aurora home runs $1,690 to $2,704. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $4,394. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote

Why Aurora pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Aurora's 72% natural gas mix drives which chimney relining scopes come up most. 10% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why chimney relining jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
