Why chimney masonry repair looks different in Brentwood
A properly seated spark arrestor checked every year covers the defensible-space basics on Brentwood's canyon-adjacent lots, guarding against ember travel. We treat the mesh gauge and mounting fit as their own checklist item, not an afterthought once the sweep is done. A typical visit ends up covering tuckpointing and repointing services, brick replacement with color matching, and mortar joint restoration (type n and type s), since the scope follows what the chimney actually needs rather than a flat rate quoted sight unseen.
