Chimney and Fireplace Services, Repair and Installation in New York

Booked an annual sweep and expected a quick in-and-out. The technician found third-stage creosote glazed onto the tile in our Park Slope place, showed me the photos, and explained why that matters. Took longer than a normal sweep and was worth every minute.

Smoke had been creeping back into the living room all autumn. Chimney Service New York measured the draft instead of guessing, traced it to a cap that was throttling the flue, and swapped it. The difference was obvious the same evening.

Needed a new chimney cap after ours came off in a storm. They walked me through the options without pushing the expensive one, fitted it in an afternoon in Astoria, and cleaned up properly afterwards.

Had the fireplace cleaned before winter. What I appreciated was the drop sheets and the vacuum running the entire time, and that they showed me the debris rather than bagging it out of sight.

A sour smell kept drifting in on humid days. They found moisture getting past a failed crown in our Bay Ridge house, fixed the crown, and the smell has not come back.

A storm loosened bricks near the top of our chimney. Chimney Service New York had a crew out the same day, made it safe, and came back that week for the tuckpointing. Honest about what could wait and what could not.

Found a bird nest blocking the flue in early spring. They cleared it, fitted a screen so it cannot happen again, and checked the rest of the run with the camera while they were up there.

Hired them for a fireplace inspection before selling. The written report with photographs was exactly what our buyer's surveyor wanted, and it saved a round of negotiation.

Asked for an inspection after reading about chimney fires. Their specialist found a cracked liner in our Riverdale place and told us plainly not to use it until it was relined. I would rather hear that than a clean bill of health.

Pre-winter maintenance on a house we had just bought in Forest Hills. Detailed sweep, camera survey, and a clear list of what needed doing this year versus next. First contractor who has given us that.
