Are chimney caps included in the price?
Not always. Some North Las Vegas removal fees cover the removal only, with the cap as an add-on. Published ranges for caps run from about $150 to $400 installed. Multi-flue chimneys cost more. Confirm it is listed before you sign.
Is it safe to remove a raccoon in spring?
