Davids Chimney was founded on a simple belief: Brooklyn homeowners deserve a chimney service that combines genuine technical expertise with the kind of honest, straightforward communication that's become rare in the trades. We've built our business one referral at a time, earning the trust of homeowners across Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods — from the brownstone-lined blocks of Park Slope and Carroll Gardens to the brick rowhouses of Bay Ridge and Flatbush. Every job we take on gets the same level of attention whether it's a routine annual sweep or a full structural rebuild.
"I've used Davids Chimney two years in a row for our annual sweep and inspection. They are meticulous, genuinely clean up after themselves, and the written report they leave is thorough enough that I could hand it straight to my insurance company. Honest pricing, zero pressure. I recommend them to every neighbor who asks."
"Had a cracked liner discovered during a Level 2 inspection before we closed on our house. Davids Chimney had the stainless liner installed within the week and the closing went ahead on schedule. The crew was professional, explained every step of the installation, and the price was exactly what was quoted. Outstanding service."
"Our fireplace was smoking badly every time we tried to use it — embarrassing at dinner parties. The team diagnosed a warped damper and a negative-pressure issue created by our recent kitchen renovation. New top-sealing damper installed the same week, and the fireplace now draws perfectly. Wish I'd called them sooner."
"We needed the chimney completely rebuilt above the roofline on our 1920s brownstone. Davids Chimney matched the brick beautifully — visitors genuinely can't tell it was rebuilt. The project ran on schedule and on budget, which honestly surprised us given how other contractors have treated us. Highly recommend for any serious masonry work."
"The technician arrived on time, laid down drop cloths before touching anything, and finished the sweep in under an hour with zero mess in my living room. He found a small crack in the firebox and showed me the photos on his camera. Repair was quick and reasonably priced. This is exactly how a trade business should operate."
"I called on a Thursday and had an appointment the following Monday — faster than I expected. The inspector was knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and gave me a report I could actually understand. The waterproofing treatment they recommended has kept our chimney dry through two wet winters. Money well spent."

Once a year is the minimum recommended by the NFPA, regardless of how much you use the fireplace. Brooklyn's wood-burning fireplaces and gas appliances both need annual inspection and cleaning. Heavy users — more than three fires per week — should consider sweeping twice a year to control creosote buildup and catch problems early.
A standard chimney sweep and inspection in Brooklyn typically ranges from $150 to $300 depending on the number of flues, degree of buildup, and accessibility. We provide free written estimates before any work begins so there are no surprises. Repairs, liner installations, and masonry work are quoted separately after a thorough inspection.
Yes. A Level 2 chimney inspection is required any time a property changes ownership, according to CSIA standards. Brooklyn's older housing stock — much of it pre-war brick construction with original clay tile liners — frequently has hidden liner cracks, mortar deterioration, or inadequate clearances that a visual inspection alone cannot detect. Budget for this before closing.
Yes, Davids Chimney is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance covering all work performed at your Brooklyn property. Our technicians hold current CSIA certifications. We're happy to provide proof of insurance to homeowners, property managers, or real-estate attorneys before scheduling any work.
Creosote is a flammable byproduct of burning wood that deposits on the inside of your flue liner. It accumulates in three stages — from light, dusty deposits to a thick, tar-like glaze — and is the leading fuel source for chimney fires. Chimney fires can exceed 2,000°F, cracking liners and igniting surrounding framing. Annual sweeping removes creosote before it becomes dangerous.
A standard single-flue sweep and basic inspection typically takes 45 to 90 minutes. A Level 2 inspection with camera work may take 90 to 120 minutes. Repair work varies by scope. We give you a realistic time estimate when you book so you can plan your day accordingly and aren't left waiting around indefinitely.
Sweeping, inspections, damper replacements, and liner installations can be performed year-round. Mortar-based repairs — tuckpointing, crown work, and rebuilds — require temperatures consistently above 40°F for proper curing, which limits exterior masonry work to roughly April through November in Brooklyn. We'll advise you on the best timing when we assess your repair needs.
Yes. All structural repairs, liner installations, and masonry work performed by Davids Chimney come with a written workmanship warranty. Specific warranty terms vary by job type and are outlined in your written estimate before work begins. Manufacturer warranties apply to liner systems and chimney caps. We stand behind every project we complete.
