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 Yonkers, NY
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Yonkers, from the apartment blocks off South Broadway to the older single-family streets in Park Hill and Lincoln Park. Most Yonkers chimneys were built before 1960, which means masonry that has seen 60-plus winters of freeze-thaw cycles and flue liners that predate modern safety standards. We’re a Garrison Partners company, founded in 2002, and every job we do in Yonkers starts with a written price before any work begins. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Yonkers Homes Are Different
Yonkers is not a flat suburb. Much of the city climbs sharply from the Hudson River up toward the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Bronx River, which puts chimneys in direct wind paths and exposes them to hard temperature swings. The housing stock splits a few ways: prewar brick colonials and Tudors near Warburton and Glenwood, tight rowhomes in Ludlow and Getty Square, and the large mid-century ranches that fill the hills above Central Park Avenue. That mix matters because a 1920s clay tile liner in a Ludlow rowhome fails differently than a 1970s terra cotta liner in a ranch off Tuckahoe Road. We also see a lot of chimneys with shallow crowns and missing caps in Yonkers, which lets rain and snow sit in the flue through the winter. The city’s permit office requires a permit for structural chimney work and some liner replacements, but a standard sweep or a Level 1 inspection does not need one. We will tell you before any work starts if your job needs a permit.
Our Main Yonkers Services
Most Yonkers homeowners call us for one of three reasons: they need a sweep before burning season, an inspection before buying or selling, or a repair they learned about from an inspection. All three services get the same written-price rule, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Chimney Sweep in Yonkers
A chimney sweep in Yonkers removes the creosote and soot that build up on flue walls during the heating season. Because many Yonkers chimneys run through steep roofs with tight access, we schedule the work with the right ladders and roof anchors before we arrive. This is not a quick brush-and-go; we run a camera through the flue after sweeping so you can see the condition of the liner for yourself. We also lay down drop cloths from the entry door to the fireplace and run a HEPA vacuum throughout. Chimney Sweep in Yonkers
Chimney Inspection in Yonkers
A chimney inspection in Yonkers is the fastest way to find out whether your chimney is safe to light. We perform Level 1 inspections for annual maintenance and Level 2 inspections when a property changes hands or after a storm, which means a full camera scan of the flue interior. Yonkers real estate transactions move quickly, and the Level 2 inspection is the one most buyers and sellers order before closing. Every inspection includes a written report with photos, so you are not relying on a technician’s word. Chimney Inspection in Yonkers
Chimney Repair in Yonkers
Chimney repair work in Yonkers covers everything from repointing worn mortar joints to rebuilding a crown or replacing a cracked flue liner. The older prewar homes in neighborhoods like Park Hill often need tuckpointing, while the mid-century stock near Cross County commonly shows crown failure. We only recommend a repair after you have seen the camera footage, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within one year, we come back at no charge.

Brands We Service in Yonkers
We stock and install parts from Famco, Copperfield, and DuraFlex on most Yonkers jobs, and we specify the part by application rather than margin. That means a stainless liner goes in where a stainless liner belongs, and a cast crown where cast makes sense. Our brands page lists every product we work with, and most common parts are available locally without a special-order wait.

Two things push a Yonkers chimney job above the typical range: roof pitch and access. Homes on steeper hills south of Tuckahoe Road and west toward the river often need more ladder work and roof anchoring, which adds to labor. The price we give you before starting is the price on your invoice. No discovery calls halfway through the job, no added charges for parts we forgot to mention.
