Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Sunset Park, NY
Kindling Chimney Brooklyn handles chimney sweeping, inspection, and fireplace repair across Sunset Park, NY with a written price before any work starts. Most homes here are attached brick and brownstone rowhouses built between 1890 and 1920, and that changes everything about how a chimney should be cleaned and maintained. Shared chimney stacks, aging clay-tile liners, and decades of freeze-thaw cycles mean a Sunset Park flue can’t be treated like a suburban fireplace. Call (607) 695-6218 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Why Sunset Park Homes Are Different
Sunset Park’s housing stock is dense rows of late-19th and early-20th-century brick and brownstone rowhouses, and many of them share a chimney stack with the building next door. A single flue often serves multiple units, which means access questions, liability questions, and a different kind of inspection than a standalone house ever needs. We see this on almost every job: original clay-tile liners that have cracked or spalled after a hundred Brooklyn winters, and flues that were patched with mismatched brick at some point decades ago.
The location on Brooklyn’s western shore brings cold, damp winters with frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and widens them. Unused chimneys leak. Condensation from high-efficiency boilers venting into old flues accelerates liner deterioration faster than most homeowners realize. And a tell we look for from the roof: many Sunset Park chimneys still have their original chimney pots visible from the street, but inside, the flue is often unlined or patched with whatever brick was on hand. A trained sweep spots that before the ladder is even fully set up.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Sunset Park Services
These are the two calls we get most from Sunset Park homeowners, plus the repair work that often follows an inspection. Each service has its own page with pricing and specifics.
Chimney Sweep in Sunset Park
A sweep in Sunset Park starts with protecting the room: shoe covers and drop cloths go down before anything else, and nothing is moved without asking. Then we remove soot and creosote from the flue, check the damper, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it, with a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. In rowhouses with shared stacks, we confirm which flue is yours before we start, because sweeping the wrong one helps no one. Full details are on our Chimney Sweep in Sunset Park page.
Chimney Inspection in Sunset Park
An inspection in Sunset Park is more than a visual check. Because so many homes here date to 1890 – 1920 with original clay liners, we inspect with an eye toward water intrusion, spalling, and boiler-vent condensation damage. If we find something, we show you the camera footage or photos. Nothing is recommended without evidence you can see for yourself. That matters in a neighborhood where a shared wall can hide a problem for years. See our Chimney Inspection in Sunset Park page for what’s included and what it costs.
Fireplace Repair in Sunset Park
Fireplace repair here often means liner work, because so many Sunset Park flues are original clay tile that’s failing. We use brands like DuraFlex and HeatShield for liner repairs and resurfacing, not a patch that holds for a season. Whether it’s a cracked firebox, a damper that won’t seal, or a liner that’s past saving, we write the price down before any work begins, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stands behind it. Details on our Fireplace Repair in Sunset Park page.

What pushes the price up in Sunset Park is usually liner condition and roof access. A shared stack on a three-story rowhouse takes more setup than a single-family chimney, and if the clay tile has spalled badly, a full liner replacement is a different job than a patch. Either way, you’ll have a written price before any work starts, every time.

What Sunset Park Customers Say
"Booked the annual sweep. No mess at all, he vacuumed the hearth and even wiped down the mantel. Quiet worker, respectful of the house. Fire draws beautifully now."
- Hank Delgado"First sweep since we bought the house. He put down a drop cloth and used a vacuum so there wasn't a speck of soot anywhere, which with light carpet I was dreading. Showed me the flue on camera."
- Lorraine Petty"Nice sweep and inspection. He was running a little behind and arrived toward the end of the window, but called to let me know and was tidy and thorough once here."
