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.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Greenville
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
A stainless steel liner is the right fix for most Greenville chimneys with cracked or missing clay flue tiles, especially where a wood stove or insert has been vented into a flue never designed for it. We size and install insulated DuraFlex liners rated for your appliance and fuel type. In Greenville’s older farmhouses, this often means dropping a liner down a fieldstone chimney that hasn’t been touched in decades. We document the full condition of the existing flue with camera footage before we start, and we show you the completed job the same way.

Flexible Liner
Flexible liners solve the offset and bend problems common in Greenville’s 19th-century chimneys, where original construction wasn’t plumb and rigid pipe won’t pass. Our flexible liners navigate the jogged flues and smoke-chamber offsets we find in colonial farmhouses off County Route 32 and throughout the Windham corridor. We use professional-grade flexible products from DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney, sized and insulated to handle the temperature swings of a Catskill heating season. Flexible liner installation in Greenville typically runs $2,200-$3,800.

Liner Replacement
When an existing liner has failed - cracked, separated, or corroded through - we remove and replace it with a system matched to your current appliance and fuel. This is common in Greenville seasonal homes where an old aluminum or uninsulated liner has deteriorated from moisture and disuse. We don’t guess at the condition. We run the camera, show you the damage, and quote replacement only when the footage supports it. Liner replacement in Greenville generally costs $1,800-$3,500.

Partial Rebuild
Greenville’s freeze-thaw cycle spalls brick faces and opens lime-mortar joints faster than on the Hudson Valley floor below. When the upper chimney - crown, top courses, or flue surround - has deteriorated but the lower structure is sound, a partial rebuild restores integrity without the cost of starting over. We rebuild with matching brick and professional-grade crown materials from Copperfield, sloped and sealed to shed water the way the original crown never did. Partial rebuilds in Greenville typically range from $2,800-$4,500.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Greenville Homes
- Seasonal dormancy leads to blocked flues. Many Greenville chimneys are sealed after Memorial Day and sit untouched until November’s first ski weekend. Our technicians routinely find raccoon nests and chimney-swift colonies packed above the smoke chamber - blockages that would backdraft smoke into the living room on the season’s first fire.
- Freeze-thaw spalling destroys mortar and brick faces. Greenville’s position in the Catskill foothills brings more annual freeze-thaw cycles than lower elevations. Water enters hairline cracks, expands, and spalls brick faces while opening original lime-mortar joints. Water then reaches clay flue tiles and cracks them from the outside in.
- Appliances vented into flues never designed for them. Old farmhouses that added wood stoves, oil furnaces, or inserts without relining overwhelm undersized or unlined stacks. The result is third-degree creosote glaze that a brush can’t remove - and a fire hazard that only a proper liner or rebuild addresses.
- Original clay flue tiles cracked and offset after decades of mixed fuel use. Many Greenville chimneys burned coal, then oil, then wood, with never a liner upgrade. The thermal shock and corrosive byproducts of changing fuels fracture tiles and open gaps between flue sections.

Greenville’s Seasonal-Home Challenge: A Real Example
Because Greenville sits in the Catskill vacation-home corridor near Windham and Hunter, many brick chimneys here are sealed shut after Memorial Day and untouched until the first ski weekend in November - so flues routinely hold raccoon or chimney-swift nests, late-stage creosote, and moisture damage discovered with no buffer before the owner’s first fire. That dormant-then-sudden-use cycle, plus foothill freeze-thaw that spalls brick faces and opens lime-mortar joints, means most liner and rebuild calls here are seasonal-home rescue jobs rather than steady year-round maintenance.
A second-home owner off County Route 32 near the Windham corridor called after Labor Day about a damper that wouldn’t close in her 1890s farmhouse’s fieldstone chimney. Our tech ran a Level 2 inspection with the camera and found the original clay flue tiles cracked and offset, a chimney-swift nest packed above the smoke chamber, and second-degree creosote glazing the upper flue - none of which a brush alone would have fixed. We installed an insulated DuraFlex stainless steel liner sized for her wood insert, rebuilt the crown, and showed her the before/after camera footage before she ever lit the season’s first fire.
This is why we don’t sell liners over the phone. We inspect first. We document. Then we recommend - and only what the footage supports.

FAQs - Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Greenville
Schedule a Level 2 camera inspection before you burn. Our technician runs a video camera the full length of the flue, and you’ll see the footage in real time - nests, blockages, cracked tiles, and creosote buildup are all visible on screen. If there’s an obstruction, we remove it and document the flue condition before you light the first fire. Call (914) 603-1360 to book - estimates are free.
Original clay flue tiles crack from decades of thermal cycling, especially where fuel types changed over the years. In Greenville’s climate, freeze-thaw opens mortar joints and lets water reach the tiles from the outside. Unlined or damaged flues allow heat, sparks, and carbon monoxide to reach combustible framing. A camera inspection shows exactly which tiles are cracked, offset, or missing - and whether a full liner, a HeatShield repair, or a partial rebuild is the right fix.
HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing works when the existing clay flue tiles are structurally intact but have minor cracks, gaps, or surface deterioration. If tiles are missing, severely offset, or the flue is unlined, a stainless steel liner is the correct repair. We determine which applies by camera inspection, and we show you the footage before recommending either. No upselling what the chimney doesn’t need.
Greenville’s Catskill-foothill location brings more freeze-thaw cycles than lower Hudson Valley towns. Water enters small crown cracks, expands when frozen, and widens them into channels that direct water straight down the flue. That same moisture load accelerates creosote condensation and rusts metal components. We rebuild crowns with proper slope and seal, and we recommend crown-sealing as part of any liner job where the crown shows early deterioration.
Book by mid-September at the latest. October fills fast with seasonal owners returning for the ski season, and if we find a blocked flue, cracked liner, or failed crown, you’ll want lead time for parts and scheduling. Waiting until the first cold weekend means competing with every other delayed homeowner and possibly postponing that first fire. Call (914) 603-1360 - a live person answers 24/7.
