All I see online is how this is super super bad. Yet, all pretty much all the local landscaping places near me (Westchester NY) seem to do this. What gives? These are paid professionals?
So I called a guy because I could see something growing out of my chimney from the street. I expected something simple like just pulling it out bc you can't really see the damage from the ground (2 story home). Turns out this is pretty cracked up. I had zero idea. No leaks as far as I know.
I'm told top 8-9 rows need to be rebuilt with a new crown (cap flew off also, will be replaced).
Quoted $5.5k for 2-3 days work.
