Fireplace Repair, Staten IslandYour Local Fireplace Repair Team for Staten Island, NY
Fireplaces turn up more often in Staten Island's larger houses, such as the early-1900s homes on Todt Hill and the 1920s houses on Grymes Hill. After decades of use, those fireboxes crack, dampers rust or stick and smoke chambers get rough enough to collect creosote. Any one of those can spoil the draft or let heat reach wood it should never touch. Our local crew repairs fireboxes, replaces dampers, smooths smoke chambers and checks the flue, so the fireplace drafts properly and is ready for regular fires.

Fireplace Repair for Staten Island Homes
Many houses designed by architect Ernest Flagg were built on Todt Hill in the early 1900s. Fireplaces in houses of that era deserve careful repair that keeps the original masonry, using firebrick and mortar suited to the firebox.
The Fort Hill area of St. George has houses in Victorian, Tudor, Shingle and Art Deco styles, including one modeled on a Spanish castle. Fireplaces in houses that varied can differ a lot in design, so each repair starts with understanding how that particular fireplace was built.
We repair fireplaces on Todt Hill and Grymes Hill and in St. George, Westerleigh and Tottenville.
