What chimney rebuilds looks like when it is done right in Sherman Oaks
Extreme summer heat shows up on the visit report as crown cracking and mortar wear, two items we note and photograph separately rather than lump together. Recording both conditions on every visit gives a clear picture of how the chimney is aging. That is why most visits here end up covering partial rebuild (above roofline), full chimney reconstruction, and earthquake damage repair and retrofit, priced off what we actually find instead of a number quoted sight unseen.
