Why chimney masonry repair looks different in Malibu
Inspections in this fire zone start with the cap itself, since a corroded or poorly seated spark arrestor is the weak point once embers start moving. We check weld quality and mesh condition every year, not just whether the hardware is present. 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.
