Chimney Liner Installation in Rockaway, NY
A chimney liner protects the masonry from heat and corrosive exhaust and gives the appliance a properly sized flue. We install stainless steel liners sized for your fireplace, wood stove, boiler or furnace.
Chimneys in Rockaway
The Rockaway peninsula sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay, so salt air, ocean wind and nor'easters are hard on chimneys. Caps rust faster, crowns crack sooner and flashing fails more often than inland, and storm damage is a regular concern.
