3 Day Masonry Repair for Chimney Professionals
CSIA CEUs awarded
9-T, 3-C&S, 2-H&S, 2-C&L (16 CEUs total)
Overview
This course is geared towards learning and developing a basic masonry skill set. It will begin each day with a small amount of classroom time, but most of the day will be spent learning masonry skills and building various projects.
Sweeps are routinely in contact with deteriorated chimney tops and other masonry structures during daily work appointments. There are a great number of potential masonry repair jobs available to be done. Most masonry contractors are not interested in such small appointments. This opens the door to adding a very profitable service to a sweep company, with an almost limitless supply of potential masonry repair projects available. There is usually limited competition for this kind of work.
