"Went very well.  Scheduled it to check for any post-earthquake damage and fire hazards.  Scheduling was easy--several weeks backlog to schedule an appointment, probably because of the Angie's List Big Deal customers, but it was not a problem at all.  Technician showed up on time and did full inspection.  While the deal also included a full sweep/cleaning, he did not need to do much cleaning because the fireplace had not been used much at all over the last year.  He correctly identified this, and confirmed no damage or potential for leaks or fire hazards.  He did some touch-up work  at the top of the chimney, adjusted/fixed the cap, and recommended at some  point doing some additional touch-up masonry work in the future, but did not try to pressure or scare us to buy any additional services.  Technician was friendly, informative, and clearly seemed to know what he was doing and talking about.  He was on time, did not rush through the inspection, and it was a positive experience overall.  Would recommend them to friends/relatives.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
