Fireplace Repair, BrooklynYour Local Fireplace Repair Service in Brooklyn, NY
Decorative fireplaces are common in Brooklyn brownstone parlors, and many were built long ago for small coal fires rather than the wood fires people want today. Before anyone lights one, the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue all need a look, and usually some repair. Cracked firebrick, a rusted damper or an unlined flue can push heat and smoke where they should not go. Our local crew rebuilds fireboxes, replaces dampers and relines flues, so you can use the fireplace with confidence or keep it decorative and properly sealed.

Fireplace Repair for Brooklyn Homes
Bedford-Stuyvesant's building stock includes many brownstones developed from the 1890s to the late 1910s. Parlor fireplaces in those houses often share a stack with other flues, so before a restored fireplace goes back in service we confirm its flue is separate, sound and open to the top.
The planned communities of Victorian Flatbush include Prospect Park South, Ditmas Park and Fiske Terrace. Detached Victorians there frequently have more than one fireplace, and each needs its own check for firebox cracks and a working damper.
We repair fireplaces in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Flatbush, Midwood, Kensington and Brooklyn Heights.
