Our Services
Comprehensive Chimney & Fireplace Solutions in Brooklyn, NY
At King Chimney Masters, we believe every Brooklyn home deserves a safe, efficient, and beautiful fireplace or chimney. Our experienced team has spent years helping local homeowners with every aspect of chimney care—from essential cleaning to intricate masonry repairs. Our range of services is designed to keep your family safe, your home comfortable, and your peace of mind intact. Below, you’ll find detailed information on what we offer and why each service is so important.
Chimney Cap Installation
Why it matters:
A quality chimney cap might seem like a small detail, but it plays a major role in protecting your entire system. Without a sturdy cap, your chimney is vulnerable to rain, snow, debris, and even curious animals. Moisture can quickly lead to costly brick and mortar damage, while birds and squirrels often build nests that block proper airflow.
Our approach:
We install only durable, weather-resistant chimney caps that are custom-fit for your home. Our technicians check for proper installation to ensure the cap won’t rattle in the wind or allow water leaks. We also offer cap replacements for damaged or missing units. Many Brooklyn homeowners have called us after years of water leaks or recurring animal intrusions—one simple cap often solves both problems for good.
Benefits:
- Keeps rain and snow out, preventing costly masonry repairs
- Stops animals, leaves, and debris from blocking your chimney
- Reduces downdrafts and smoky odors
- Helps extend the life of your chimney and fireplace
Chimney Cleaning
Why it matters:
Chimney cleaning is one of the most important steps in fire prevention. Over time, every chimney—especially wood-burning ones—accumulates creosote, a highly flammable tar-like substance that can ignite with a single spark. Soot and debris can also restrict airflow, causing smoke to spill into your home or increasing your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Our approach:
We use modern brushes, high-powered vacuums, and protective gear to safely and thoroughly remove creosote, soot, and blockages from your chimney and fireplace. We follow National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and make sure every cleaning job is done with minimal mess—your living room stays spotless!
Signs you need this service:
- It’s been more than a year since your last cleaning
- You notice more smoke or a strong odor while burning
- You use your fireplace regularly, especially during Brooklyn’s cold winters
Chimney Clog Removal
Why it matters:
Chimney clogs are more than a nuisance—they’re a real safety hazard. Common causes include fallen leaves, bird nests, bricks, and creosote build-up. Blockages prevent proper venting, which can cause smoke and dangerous gases to back up into your home.
Our approach:
We inspect for and remove any type of blockage, using flexible rods, cameras, and gentle hand tools. If the clog is caused by an animal or nest, we remove it humanely and recommend installing a cap or screen to prevent future intrusions. Our thorough approach ensures nothing is left behind that could threaten your family’s safety.
Benefits:
- Restores safe, efficient airflow
- Prevents smoke damage and carbon monoxide risk
- Helps your fireplace or stove work like new
Chimney Extension
Why it matters:
Some Brooklyn homes—especially older buildings or those with roof additions—have chimneys that are too short to create a proper draft. Others may need an extension after remodeling or installing a new heating system. If your fireplace struggles to “pull” smoke up and out, or you’ve recently changed your home’s roofline, a chimney extension can make all the difference.
Our approach:
We evaluate your home’s design, measure the required height, and build extensions using sturdy, weather-resistant materials that blend with your existing masonry. We follow NYC codes for safe venting and aesthetics.
Real-world benefits:
- Improves draft for safer, cleaner fires
- Ensures your chimney complies with local regulations
- Reduces smoke and odor inside your home
Chimney Inspections
Why it matters:
Even if your chimney looks fine from the outside, hidden issues can lurk inside. Cracks, loose bricks, leaks, or flammable creosote might not be visible without a professional inspection. Annual chimney inspections are recommended by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and can save you thousands in repairs—or prevent a dangerous fire.
Our approach:
We offer Level 1 (visual), Level 2 (real estate/transfer), and video camera inspections to give you a complete picture of your chimney’s health. We check every part: flue, damper, crown, cap, flashing, and more. You’ll receive an easy-to-understand report with photos and honest recommendations.
Best for:
- Homeowners who use their fireplace regularly
- Anyone buying, selling, or renovating a home
- Brooklyn brownstones and older properties
Chimney Lining
Why it matters:
A chimney liner protects your home from the intense heat and corrosive gases created by your fireplace, wood stove, or furnace. Without a proper liner, heat can transfer to nearby walls, increasing fire risk, and toxic gases could seep into your home.
Our approach:
We install, repair, or replace liners using stainless steel, clay, or ceramic, depending on your system’s needs. Our work meets NYC building codes and manufacturer recommendations for safety.
Signs you might need a new liner:
- Your current liner is cracked or damaged
- You’re converting your fireplace to gas or installing a new stove
- You’ve experienced a chimney fire or major repair
Chimney Repair
Why it matters:
Brooklyn weather is tough—freezing winters, heavy rain, and humidity take a toll on brick, mortar, and flashing. Over time, small cracks turn into leaks, structural problems, and heat loss.
Our approach:
From tuckpointing and waterproofing to full chimney rebuilds, our skilled masons use premium materials that match your existing brickwork. We address both cosmetic and structural issues, fixing leaks, replacing spalled bricks, and restoring your chimney’s appearance and function.
Common repairs include:
- Masonry crack repair
- Chimney crown rebuilding
- Brick replacement
- Flashing repair
Chimney Sweep
Why it matters:
Sweeping a chimney is about more than just cleaning. It’s a key part of chimney maintenance, preventing soot buildup, improving efficiency, and extending the life of your system.
Our approach:
We offer scheduled or as-needed sweeping, using safe, professional tools. Unlike quick “bargain” sweeps, we take the time to do it right, protecting your furniture and making sure your home stays clean throughout the process.
How often?
At least once a year for most Brooklyn homes, or more often if you use your fireplace frequently.
Fireplace Repair
Why it matters:
A damaged fireplace isn’t just unsightly—it can be unsafe. Cracked panels, broken dampers, or worn-out fireboxes can cause smoke problems and reduce heating efficiency. Many Brooklyn fireplaces also need upgrades to meet new safety codes or modern efficiency standards.
Our approach:
We repair or replace damaged bricks, panels, doors, dampers, and more. Our team restores both the look and the function of your fireplace, whether you have a wood-burning hearth or a modern gas insert. If your fireplace needs a full facelift, we can help with that too.
Common signs you need this service:
- Difficulty lighting or maintaining a fire
- Cracks in the firebox or smoke stains
- Draft problems or smoky odors
