Fireplace Repair in The Bronx, NY From Your Local Crew

Many of the larger Bronx houses, especially in Riverdale and Fieldston, were built with fireplaces meant to be used. After decades of fires and long idle stretches, fireboxes crack, dampers rust and smoke chambers get rough and pitted. Each of those problems can send smoke into the room or heat toward the framing. Our local crew repairs fireboxes with refractory mortar and new firebrick, replaces dampers and smooths smoke chambers, then looks up the flue to confirm it is clear and sound for a winter of fires.

Fireplace Repair for The Bronx Homes

Tudor Revival was a common style for Fieldston houses built in the 1920s, and local architect Dwight James Baum designed 62 houses there. Those homes often have large masonry fireplaces, and repairs there should match the original brick and stone.

Step streets with as many as 160 stairs climb the slope between Kingsbridge and Riverdale. For hillside homes reached by stairs, we plan how to carry firebrick, mortar and tools in so the job runs smoothly.

We repair fireplaces in Fieldston, Kingsbridge, Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil and Morris Park.

Fireplace Repair Questions in The Bronx

Is it worth repairing an old fireplace in a Bronx house, or should I seal it?

That depends on how you want to use it. A damper replacement or firebox repointing is a modest job, while rebuilding a firebox or relining a flue is more involved. We look at the fireplace, explain both paths and give you a free written estimate for each.

Why does my fireplace smell after it rains?

Rain getting into the flue mixes with creosote and soot, and the odor comes back into the room. A missing or damaged cap is a common cause. A cap, a sweep and sometimes a top-sealing damper usually clear it up.

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.
