He also discusses a metal fabrication company which he owns. Then, Steve, having a massive amount of knowledge about this topic, answers the following questions:
- How can there be such discrepancies in most chimney inspections? Is there some type of standard that just makes it black and white?
- What are the three most often things you see when you're looking at the chimney?
- What percentage of chimneys would you say are built improperly from the get-go?
- What are some of the most common repairs that you make on chimneys?
- How do you get up in chimneys and do the work with the damper in place?
- How much do liners and smoke chamber repairs cost?
- What type of license do you need to work on a chimney? Is there any special training?
