I have an exterior chimney in sad shape..repointing capping and crowning will be very expensive. Someone said that Cement board and stucco over the brick would be more cost effective. Or siding over the brick. Is this possible and what type of contractor etc does this kind of work?
Look at contacting a brick or masonry supplier in Kingston they will give you the name of a trusted tuckpointer / Bricky...we have Masons Masonry in Toronto that are excellent and the supplied us with Carleton Chimney that do a fantastic job at a fair price.
BTW never mask a decaying chimney with more material it will only make things worse!!!
