Steves Brothers Chimney was founded on a straightforward belief: homeowners in South Richmond Hill deserve chimney professionals who prioritize their safety over a fast transaction. Queens is one of New York City's most densely populated boroughs, and its housing stock — much of it built between the 1920s and 1960s — presents chimney challenges that younger construction simply does not. Aging terra-cotta liners, shared flues in attached homes, and decades of deferred maintenance create a perfect storm of risk. Our founders grew up in communities like this one, which is why we built a company around education and transparency rather than upsell pressure.
Our team holds CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications and stays current with every revision to NFPA 211, the National Fire Protection Association's standard for chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems. We invest in professional video scanning equipment, calibrated combustion analyzers, and HEPA-filtered sweep systems because the right tools make the difference between a thorough inspection and a missed hazard. We also maintain full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every technician, protecting our customers and our crew on every job we take. When permits are required by the NYC Building Department, we manage the entire process so homeowners do not have to navigate bureaucracy alone.
We are proud to serve South Richmond Hill and the broader Queens community — Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Ozone Park, and beyond — and we treat each customer as a long-term relationship rather than a one-time ticket. Repeat customers receive priority scheduling, and we keep records of every inspection and service we perform so your chimney's history is always at our fingertips. Whether you are a longtime homeowner concerned about an aging flue, a new buyer who wants a Level II inspection before closing, or a landlord with compliance obligations, Steves Brothers Chimney has the expertise, the equipment, and the integrity to serve you right. Call us at (347) 797-6741 and find out why South Richmond Hill families trust us with the most important safety system in their homes.
