MarkMaupin A.K.A Mr. Chimney repair shares how to avoid chimney scams
(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 19, 2007 ) Livonia, MI -- I have been working as a Michigan masonry contractor and chimney repair specialist for 10 years. During that time I have built Manny chimneys, Brick walls, fireplaces, pillars, brick porches, and a done ton of tuck pointing. I am blessed because I am on of the few people who enjoy going to work every day. I love driving down the road and see a chimney or other brick structure I have built and being able to take pride in knowing I did a good job.
Unfortunately there are a lot of poor masonry repairs out there. I have on many occasions had to redo or rebuild a chimney or porch that some one else built or tried to pass of as a quality repair. I have found chimneys crowned with mortar in stead of concrete. Brick replaced by stacking the bond, and countless times where a wall was no where near level or plumb.
Buyer beware there are so many fly by night companies out there. Don’t be fooled by a slick talking sales man. Have you been told you need to you needed chimney repair, If you have not inspected your chimney personally, don’t take the word of some guy of the street that hands you a business card or flyer.
