Is $1,500 to rebuild a rotting chimney a fair price?
Project Details
I've just purchased a new home, and a major concern was the old, rotting chimney that was letting water in and needed a full rebuild. The rebuild was scheduled for today, and the technician claims it's finished except for needing more paint. I was expecting a visually similar rebuild to the previous chimney. I haven't paid yet because the work is unfinished. I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed.
