Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Staten Island, NY
Chimney cleaning in Staten Island runs between $189 and $349 for a standard sweep, with inspections typically $149 to $289. What makes Staten Island work different from the other boroughs is the housing stock: more single-family homes with true masonry chimneys, more wood-burning fireplaces that actually see use each winter, and coastal air that works on brick and mortar year-round. Flint Chimney Sweep coordinates dispatch from our New York City office, and every Staten Island job gets a written price before any tools come off the truck. Call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer on your chimney.
Why Staten Island Homes Are Different
Staten Island has a higher share of detached single-family homes than any other borough, and with that comes more fireplaces and more old masonry chimneys. Much of the North Shore, including neighborhoods like West Brighton, Port Richmond, and St. George, was built before 1950. Those chimneys often have unlined or clay-tile flues that crack with age. The coastal exposure does not help: salt-laden air and freeze-thaw cycles punish mortar joints and brick faces faster than inland locations do. A hairline crack in a crown becomes a spalling problem after a few wet winters.
The terrain matters too. Homes on Todt Hill and Grymes Hill sit at some of the highest elevations in the five boroughs, and those chimneys catch more wind and more weather than houses down by the Kill Van Kull or Raritan Bay. Wind-driven rain finds its way into flues that a sheltered chimney would shrug off. We also see a lot of chimneys on the South Shore, in areas like Great Kills and Tottenville, where homes were built from the 1950s onward and now have 60 to 70 years of service on the original flue. When we inspect a Staten Island chimney, we are looking at how the borough’s weather has actually treated that specific stack, not working from a generic checklist.
Our Main Staten Island Services
Most Staten Island homeowners call us for one of two things: a routine chimney sweep before burning season, or a chimney inspection when they have just bought a house or noticed something off with their fireplace. Both lead, when needed, to the third service: repair that is quoted in writing and covered for a full year.
Chimney Sweep in Staten Island
A chimney sweep on Staten Island means removing creosote, soot, and any debris from the flue so your fireplace drafts correctly and burns safely. With Staten Island’s cold winters and frequent wood-burning use, creosote builds up fast, especially in older homes around West Brighton and Eltingville where fireplaces have been in service for decades. Our technicians run a camera up the flue after every sweep so you can see the result for yourself. Read the full scope on our Chimney Sweep in Staten Island page.
Chimney Inspection in Staten Island
A chimney inspection in Staten Island is the only way to know whether the flue is safe before you light the first fire of the season. We use a camera to look inside the flue liner, check the masonry, crown, and flashing, and document everything with photos. Staten Island’s coastal exposure means we often find hidden mortar damage or liner cracks in homes that look fine from the outside. The report you receive tells you exactly what we saw and what actually needs attention. Details are on our Chimney Inspection in Staten Island page.
Chimney Repair in Staten Island
Chimney repair on Staten Island covers everything from crown repair and repointing to flue relining, which is replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Coastal weather and older housing stock mean Staten Island chimneys need more masonry attention than average. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. We specify materials by job, using brands like HeatShield and Gelco where they fit the work. See what is covered on our Chimney Repair in Staten Island page.

What pushes a Staten Island quote toward the upper end? Accessibility. Chimneys on Todt Hill or Grymes Hill often need taller ladders and more setup time. Older flues with collapsed clay tiles cost more to reline than wide, straight flues with decent access. Whatever the number is, you get it in writing before any work starts, and that number is what you pay.
