We built our reputation on straight talk. If your chimney only needs a sweep, we'll say so and charge accordingly. We photograph every finding, explain it in plain language, and let you make informed decisions. Brooklyn homeowners have trusted us because we've never pushed unnecessary repairs — and our repeat-customer rate proves it.
Chimney work is inherently messy, but your home shouldn't show it. We use commercial-grade HEPA vacuums, protective drop cloths, and shoe covers on every single job. After we're done, you'll find zero soot on your floors, mantle, or furniture. A truly professional chimney service cleans up after itself — and we take that standard seriously.
You'll receive a written quote before any work begins — no verbal estimates that mysteriously grow. Our pricing is flat-rate and itemized so you know exactly what you're paying for. All repair and installation work comes with a written warranty on labor and materials, giving Brooklyn homeowners genuine peace of mind long after we've left.
Davids Chimney was founded on a straightforward belief: Brooklyn homeowners deserve chimney service that's honest, skilled, and genuinely safe — not rushed inspections designed to sell unnecessary repairs. We started as a small team of certified technicians who were frustrated with the corners being cut across the industry and decided to build a company around craftsmanship and transparency. From our first job in a Park Slope brownstone to the hundreds of Brooklyn homes we now service each year, that founding principle hasn't changed. Every technician on our team is trained to national certification standards, carries full liability insurance, and treats your home with the same respect they'd want for their own.
"Davids Chimney came out to inspect our 1920s brownstone before we listed it for sale. The Level 2 inspection was thorough, the report was detailed and professional, and the technician explained every finding without trying to alarm us or oversell repairs. We had exactly what we needed for our buyers. Highly recommend for any Brooklyn homeowner navigating a real estate transaction."
"I called after noticing a burning smell coming from our fireplace. They got us in within two days, found a significant creosote buildup and a cracked tile in the flue, and gave us a clear written quote on the spot. The repair was done the following week and the fireplace has been perfect ever since. Honest, fast, and clean — exactly what you want."
"We'd been putting off chimney maintenance for years — classic Brooklyn homeowner guilt. Davids Chimney made the whole process painless. The technician was on time, extremely knowledgeable about our older terra cotta liner system, and the whole job was cleaner than I expected. Not a speck of soot anywhere. Already booked them for next fall's sweep."
"After a chimney fire scare last winter we needed a full inspection and liner assessment. Davids Chimney was professional from first call to final walkthrough. The video inspection clearly showed where the damage was, they explained our options without pressure, and the stainless liner they installed has made a noticeable difference in how our fireplace draws. Worth every penny."
"Booked a dryer vent cleaning after our clothes started taking forever to dry. The technician found a significant lint blockage about twelve feet into the duct that we never would have caught on our own. Quick, affordable, and genuinely important for fire safety. I had no idea dryer vents needed professional cleaning — I'll be booking this every year from now on."
"Davids Chimney repointed our firebox and replaced the damper in our Cobble Hill rowhouse. The masonry work is excellent — clean, professional, and the right materials for a high-heat environment. The new top-mount damper has also eliminated the cold draft we used to get in winter. Great value and they were upfront about pricing the whole way through."
Call us at (203) 884-8752 or book online and we'll set up a convenient appointment — often same-week. We gather basic information about your chimney type, fuel source, and any symptoms you've noticed so our technician arrives fully prepared for your Brooklyn home.

We explain everything clearly before recommending any services. You'll get a written, itemized quote on the spot with zero pressure to proceed immediately.
Once you approve the work, our technician completes your sweep, inspection, or repair using professional-grade tools and code-compliant materials. We protect your living space throughout, work efficiently, and keep you informed of any unexpected findings discovered during the job so there are never unwelcome surprises.
Before we leave, we walk you through everything completed, answer any questions, and provide written documentation of services rendered — including inspection findings, photos, and any applicable warranties. You'll have everything you need for your home records, insurance provider, or real estate transaction.
You should have your chimney professionally swept at least once a year if you use a wood-burning fireplace regularly. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends annual inspection and cleaning for all chimneys. In Brooklyn, where many homes have older flue systems, annual service is especially important to catch deterioration early and prevent dangerous creosote accumulation.
Creosote is a tar-like byproduct of burning wood that accumulates on the inner walls of your flue. It's highly flammable and the leading cause of chimney fires. At advanced stages it forms a glaze that is extremely difficult to remove and dramatically increases fire risk. Professional annual sweeping removes creosote buildup before it reaches dangerous levels and protects your Brooklyn home.
Yes — a Level 2 chimney inspection is strongly recommended, and often required by buyers or their lenders, during any real estate transaction. It includes a video scan of the flue interior and a written report. This protects buyers from inheriting hidden problems and gives sellers documentation that the fireplace system is in good working order before closing.
A standard chimney sweep and basic inspection in Brooklyn typically ranges from $150 to $250 depending on flue height, fuel type, and the level of buildup present. Additional repairs, liner work, or Level 2 video inspections are priced separately. Davids Chimney provides free on-site estimates and written quotes before any work begins so you know the full cost upfront.
Yes. Davids Chimney is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Our technicians are trained to CSIA and NFPA 211 standards. We can provide proof of insurance on request and, where required by New York City building codes, we pull the appropriate permits for liner installations and structural repairs.
Key warning signs include white staining (efflorescence) on the exterior masonry, crumbling mortar or tile fragments in the firebox, a smoky fireplace that drafts poorly, or visible cracks revealed during a video inspection. Brooklyn's older clay tile liners are particularly prone to cracking from thermal cycling. A Level 2 inspection will definitively diagnose liner condition and guide repair decisions.
Yes. Davids Chimney regularly services chimneys in multi-unit buildings, co-ops, and condominiums throughout Brooklyn. We're experienced working with building management, navigating shared flue systems, and meeting the documentation requirements that boards and property managers typically require. We recommend coordinating with your building super or manager before scheduling to ensure proper access.
A standard chimney sweep and visual inspection typically takes 60 to 90 minutes for a single-flue system in a Brooklyn home. A Level 2 video inspection adds 30 to 45 minutes. More complex jobs involving repairs or multiple flues will take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.
