Your Local Fireplace Repair Pros in Queens, NY

Older Queens houses often hide a fireplace that has not burned well in years. A cracked firebox, a stuck damper or a rough smoke chamber can push smoke into the room and heat into the framing behind the brick. Many of these fireplaces share a stack with the boiler flue, so a problem in one can affect the other. Our local crew in Queens repairs the firebox, replaces dampers, parges smoke chambers and checks the flue above, so the fireplace drafts properly and is safe to use again.

Fireplace Repair for Queens Homes

Many of the Queen Anne Victorian homes of old Richmond Hill still stand. Fireplaces in houses of that age were often built for coal, with shallow fireboxes, so we check whether they can safely handle a wood fire before anyone lights one.

Forest Hills has many Tudor Revival homes, often with stucco walls and red clay tile roofs. A fireplace in a house like that usually vents through a tall stack, and keeping the firebox and damper in order matters as much as the work up top.

We repair fireplaces in Richmond Hill, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Bayside and Whitestone.

Fireplace Repair Questions in Queens

Why does my Queens fireplace smoke into the room?
The usual causes are a damper that does not open fully, a cold or oversized flue, a blocked cap, or a firebox that is too shallow for the opening. Sometimes a tight, modern house simply needs more air. We test the draft and find the cause before suggesting repairs.
Can a cracked firebox be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Small cracks and loose joints can be repaired with refractory mortar. If firebricks are broken, spalled or missing, we replace those bricks. A full rebuild is only needed when the back wall or floor has failed.
Why does my fireplace smoke?
A closed or broken damper, a cold flue, a blocked flue or a firebox that is too big for the flue can all cause it. We find which one.
