We’ve been crossing the Connecticut border from our Yonkers base for years, and we know the difference between servicing a single fireplace in a Riverside condo and managing six or eight flues on a Glenville estate. Our Fireplace Services team handles everything from gas valve adjustments to full firebox reconstruction — always with Gary Murphy, our owner and lead technician, personally on the ladder.

Why Sterling Chimney Cleaning Yonkers Is Greenwich’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company

Greenwich homeowners don’t hand their keys to just anyone. Over 1,100 homeowners have trusted us with their chimneys, and our 1,142 verified reviews averaging 4.7 stars reflect the kind of consistent, documented performance that matters when you’re inviting someone into a multi-million-dollar property. Gary leads every job himself — you’ll get the decision-maker on your roof, not a subcontractor learning the trade on your dime.

We understand Greenwich’s specific challenges: the salt-laden air off Long Island Sound that chews at mortar in Old Greenwich, the freeze-thaw cycles that exploit every micro-crack through Connecticut winters, and the reality that a “routine” call to a Back Country estate often means coordinating half a dozen fireplace inspections in a single visit. Our response time to Greenwich averages next-day availability, and we schedule with the precision these properties demand.

Eleven years, one specialty. We don’t clean gutters, install HVAC, or paint houses. We work on chimneys and fireplaces exclusively, which means when we spot glaze creosote in your library fireplace or a failing throat damper in your master suite, we’ve seen it before — and we know exactly what it takes to fix it.

Our Fireplace Services in Greenwich

Wood Burning Fireplace Service

Wood-burning fireplaces in Greenwich’s older homes — particularly the Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival estates built between 1890 and 1950 — often have original clay-tile flue liners that never met modern NFPA 211 standards. We inspect, sweep, and reline these systems using HeatShield cerfractory foam for resurfacing deteriorated liners, or DuraFlex stainless steel when the damage is too extensive for restoration. In Back Country estates with multiple wood-burning units, we coordinate the full scope so you’re not living around scattered appointments for weeks.

Gas Fireplace Service

Gas fireplaces in Greenwich’s newer construction and converted estates require precise burner adjustment, venting verification, and safety control testing. We service direct-vent, vent-free, and B-vent systems, and we carry common ignition modules and gas valves to avoid the parts-ordering delays that leave you without heat. Southern Greenwich’s coastal humidity can corrode pilot assemblies faster than inland climates — we check for this specifically during every service.

Fireplace Insert Installation & Service

Converting an open masonry fireplace to a high-efficiency insert is one of the most common requests we get from Greenwich homeowners looking to cut drafty heat loss. We size and install inserts from leading manufacturers, ensuring proper liner connection and clearances. For estate properties with multiple fireplaces, we’ll often phase conversions based on which rooms you use most, coordinating with your schedule to minimize disruption.

Damper Repair & Replacement

A stuck or rusted throat damper can cost you hundreds in heated air escaping up the flue. In Greenwich’s older homes, we regularly find original cast-iron dampers seized from decades of disuse or damaged by chimney fires. We repair or replace with precision-fit dampers — including top-sealing models that stop drafts more effectively than traditional throat designs. On multi-fireplace estates, we inspect every damper as part of our comprehensive scope.

Firebox Repair

The firebox takes the brunt of every fire, and in Greenwich’s historic homes, we see cracked refractory panels, deteriorated mortar joints, and heat-compromised brick that pose real safety risks. We rebuild fireboxes with proper refractory materials rated for the temperatures your system generates, matching existing dimensions so the repair blends with your hearth’s original character. This isn’t cosmetic work — a compromised firebox can allow heat transfer to combustible framing.

Fireplace Conversion

Whether you’re switching from wood to gas for convenience or gas back to wood for ambiance, conversions in Greenwich require careful attention to liner compatibility, venting configuration, and local code compliance. We handle the full mechanical scope and coordinate with your chosen finish contractor if hearth modification or surround work is needed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenwich

We stock and install professional-grade components from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney — brands we specify because they hold up to the demands of real-world use, not because they’re the cheapest option. HeatShield’s cerfractory resurfacing system lets us restore deteriorated clay flue liners without a full tear-out, which matters enormously in Greenwich’s historic homes where preserving original masonry is often a priority. Gelco chimney caps and Olympia Chimney liner products are our go-to for new installations and replacements. We carry common sizes and configurations on our trucks, so most Greenwich jobs don’t get delayed waiting for parts.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Greenwich Homes

• Multi-chimney estates scoped as single-flue jobs. A technician who quotes for one fireplace and then discovers five more is a technician who either surprises you with change orders or cuts corners. We ask the right questions upfront about your property’s full fireplace count.
• Salt-air masonry deterioration in waterfront neighborhoods. Old Greenwich and Cos Cob chimneys exposed to Long Island Sound’s salt-laden air show accelerated mortar joint failure and brick spalling. Annual inspection catches this before freeze-thaw cycles turn minor degradation into major rebuilds.
• Wildlife-colonized flues on dormant Back Country estates. Raccoons and chimney swifts love unused chimneys on wooded properties. We find nesting material, droppings, and sometimes live animals in flues that owners assumed were “fine” because they’d never had problems. Exclusion and debris clearing comes before any sweep or inspection.
• Heavy glaze creosote in rarely used “secondary” fireplaces. Library, servant quarter, and guest suite fireplaces in estate homes often sit cold for years, then get fired up for holidays without cleaning. The resulting glazed creosote is highly combustible and requires specialized removal — not a standard brush sweep.
