Plan around the property.
Exposure & timing
Front Range weather can shift quickly. Wind, snow, freeze-thaw changes, and spring moisture are useful context to share, but they do not establish a chimney diagnosis on their own.

Where can I check Lakewood permit requirements?
Lakewood publishes building-permit, inspection and contractor-registration information through its Building and Construction Permits page. Confirm the project scope with the city before work that may need approval.
Does hail prove that a chimney needs repair?
No. NWS says severe hail can damage roofs, but a weather event does not establish the condition of a particular chimney. Note the date and visible change, then have the crown, masonry, flashing or cap assessed.
