Is $380 to repair and waterproof a chimney a fair price?
Project Details
I noticed blistering paint in my bedroom on the wall with the chimney breast. I had taped up the chimney opening about two years ago and stopped using it, which caused some dampness to build up. I've started using the fireplace again and the damp smell has gone away, but I want to ensure the structure is sound.
