When's The Last Time You Had Your Chimney Repointed?

Brick repointing fixes the mortar seals between the bricks of your chimney or front stoop. Even the best mortar seals last about 25-30 years. If left unattended, you may end up with a leaky chimney and, worst-case scenario, a structural collapse. On the other hand, repointing your chimney will give you at least 25 years of peace of mind.
