Thanks,
It was a much smaller job than what you're asking for: I needed about 1/3 of my chimney repaired (~10 feet) with only around a dozen new bricks but all new mortar, top cap, sealant, etc. The range, and this was about six years ago, ran from $2500-5000...literally a 100% difference.

We ended up going with someone on the lower end ($3k) who did an excellent job and who explained exactly why he'd be doing what he'd be doing given our situation.

A note that we had a stainless liner that had already been installed for our woodstove. I can't recall how that affected things, but I know it was a consideration for how the job was completed.

It still looks perfect/new.
