CSIA® 3-Day Masonry Repair for Chimney Professionals

Why Sweeps Attend: 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 projects. 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 type of work.
