Chimney Re-pointing in Buffalo NY

[Paul Neubecker]

I'm acquiring a couple of rental properties and it appears that they will need to have the chimney's re-pointed, probably before this winter. 

Would anyone happen to know what approximately this should cost and would anyone local to Buffalo be able to recommend someone? I have a handy man I generally use for repair work, but I'm a bit dubious about his insurance situation and am hesitant to have him on any roofs. I might prefer to outsource this work. 

Thanks for any tips in advance!
