Since 1976, homeowners in LaFayette, NY, and across Onondaga County, NY, have trusted Hudson Valley Chimney for all their chimney and fireplace needs. From repairs and rebuilding to inspections and installations, we’re your first choice for all your service needs.
Here are some of the ways we can help.
Chimney Inspections
Annual chimney inspections can spot early signs of damage and malfunction, allowing them to be resolved quickly. Our basic Level 1 inspection covers all parts, components, and areas of modern and historic chimney systems.
Along with Level 1 inspections, we offer specialized inspections when:
- You’re selling your home
- You’re modifying or altering your chimney system
- Chimney damage is suspected and needs to be confirmed
- The chimney is significantly damaged, and a full-scale inspection is needed to understand the problem
Chimney Sweeping
We clean chimneys and wood stove vent pipes to dramatically reduce the risk of creosote buildup igniting into a fire. Creosote is the #1 cause of reported chimney fires each year in LaFayette, NY, and throughout the rest of the state.
Chimney sweeping also removes debris that can cause smoke and dangerous combustion gases to back up into your home. This debris can include leaves and twigs from nearby trees as well as nests built by birds, squirrels, and other small animals. (Have us install a custom chimney cap to keep debris out.)
Chimney Repairs
Whatever is wrong with your chimney, we know how to fix it.
- Chimney masonry repair and tuckpointing
- Chimney liner repair and relining
- Chimney crown repair and rebuilding
- Smoke chamber parging

- Leaky chimney repair
- Chimney flashing repair and installation
- Partial and complete chimney rebuilding

Fireplace Repair and Restoration
If your metal firebox is rusted out, let us replace it with a fine new brick firebox that offers the ultimate protection against heat, flames, acids, and combustion gases. We also install state-of-the-art Bellfires Fireplace Systems. If your historic fireplace needs upgrading, we can restore it for greater safety and beauty.
Hearth Upgrades
Is your hearth area drab and old-looking? Our hearth technicians can create a brand-new look that includes:
- Handsome fireplace surround in your choice of attractive materials
- New mantle that adds instant elegance to the hearth area
- Stylish raised hearth
- Beautiful set of fireplace tools
There’s no need to live with a hearth area you don’t absolutely love. Schedule an appointment, and let us show you the many ways we can turn your fireplace area into a stunning centerpiece in your home.
Fireplace, Stove, and Insert Installations
If your masonry fireplace isn’t providing enough heat and is too drafty, we can install a powerful fireplace insert directly into your existing firebox. If your older wall fireplace has seen better days, let us upgrade it with a lovely new manufactured fireplace that runs on gas, wood, or pellet fuel.
We install a full line of fireplaces and stoves in LaFayette, NY, and surrounding cities and towns. We’ll help you choose the perfect model for your room size, heating requirements, and decorative style. We complete all installation work in compliance with state and local code regulations.
