I changed careers from marketing to the trades in April 2024. Since then, I’ve been working in chimney repair.
I’ve worked at Chimney Doctors in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Wolfman Chimney in New Braunfels, Texas, as a chimney repair technician.
My experience includes
Masonry restoration and rebuilding
Gas and wood-burning fireplace installation
Chimney flue reline- stainless steel flue replacement and HeatShield applications
Basic carpentry- wooden chimney rebuilding, framing, and roofing
Basic roofing- asphalt shingle repair and replacement
HVAC venting replacement- furnace, boilers, and water heaters
High end homes
I’ve been privileged enough to work on some high end homes around the Twin Cities in Minnesota and here in central Texas. Here are a few.
