Fireplace Repair, ManhattanYour Local Fireplace Repair Crew in Manhattan, NY
Many Manhattan townhouses have fireplaces on several floors, often unused for years. Before one goes back into service, the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue all need to be sound. Old fireplaces were often built for small coal fires, and a wood fire in a shallow firebox with a cracked liner can overheat the framing or spill smoke into the room. Our local crew repairs fireboxes, replaces dampers, parges smoke chambers and relines flues when needed, so you can enjoy the fireplace or keep it safely sealed.

Fireplace Repair for Manhattan Homes
In the mid-1800s the streets of Murray Hill filled with brownstone row houses. Fireplaces in those houses were built for coal, and many need a deeper firebox, a new damper or a liner before they can burn wood safely.
Builders put up the first row houses in Morningside Heights in 1892 and 1893, in Colonial, Georgian and Renaissance Revival styles. Those houses often have fireplaces on more than one floor, each with its own flue that needs checking before use.
We repair fireplaces in Murray Hill, Morningside Heights, the Upper West Side, Greenwich Village and the Upper East Side.
