Chimney Repair

I neglected to keep the paint and caulk in good condition on my chimney, so the wood trim rotted and leaked water. Quality builders will use materials that hold up to the weather, such as brick, but not these homes thrown together by DR Horton!. I replaced the 1×4 trim pieces with a product made by James Hardie. It is basically concrete, and will never rot or deteriorate. It is a little harder to work with and a bit more expensive, but it should be worth it. I’ve got it all sealed up and primed now, just have to paint it and then I’m done.
