The top item on my to-do list is repairing the masonry around an existing chimney. This is a repair job rather than new construction, so I need the damaged areas brought back to a solid, weather-tight condition without altering the original appearance. What the work involves: • On-site inspection of the chimney to confirm all trouble spots • Careful removal of loose or failing mortar and bricks • Repointing and replacement with matching materials • Final sealing or waterproofing to keep moisture out • Clean-up of the work area Once the chimney is sound, I will also have some interior drywall patching and a few minor electrical adjustments to wrap up the project. If you can handle those tasks as well, great—otherwise I can schedule them separately. Please tell me about similar chimney repair projects you have completed and the typical timeline you would need from assessment through clean-up.

Hi, I’m Matthew, a structural engineer with experience in masonry repair and restoration. I understand you need chimney masonry repair while keeping the original look, and I can inspect, remove damaged areas, repoint with matching materials, and fully seal it for long-term protection. I recently completed a similar chimney repair where I restored damaged brickwork and stopped water leaks successfully. I can start quickly and usually complete this type of work in a few days depending on site condition. Do you already know how severe the damage is, or would you like me to assess it first?
