What's covered in a Pleasant City chimney animal removal job

Inland around Division Avenue, it is daily damp plus hurricane-season wind that age a Pleasant City chimney, so the fix answers both. For Pleasant City homeowners we keep the scope tight: we fix the active problem and flag, but never upsell, whatever is only worth watching.
