Chimney Repair & Cleaning in Queens, NY

Chimneys in Queens

Much of Queens was built between the 1900s and 1950s, so many chimneys are well past the age where mortar joints, crowns and clay flue tiles start to fail.

In attached and semi-attached homes, chimneys often share walls or roofs with the neighbors, so leaks and loose brick can affect more than one house.

Many Queens chimneys vent oil or gas boilers rather than fireplaces. Those flues need regular cleaning, and older clay flues often need relining after a switch from oil to gas.

Freeze-thaw winters wear down exposed masonry, and neighborhoods on Jamaica Bay and the Rockaway peninsula also get salt air and coastal storms.
