About BluePeak Chimney Service
Serving Staten Island and nearby cities.
- Diagnosis before any repair
- Photos of every finding
- Written price before we start
BluePeak Chimney Service cleans and inspects chimneys, dryer vents and air ducts for homes in and around Staten Island. We want every visit to leave you with a cleaner system, a clear picture of its condition, and enough information to make your own decisions about what comes next.
How we approach every job
We start by looking before we clean. Our certified technicians check the parts of the system they can safely reach, note anything that looks off, and explain what they found in plain terms. If something needs attention, we tell you why it matters and how urgent it is. If it can wait, we say so.
We protect your home while we work, with drop cloths and containment so soot and dust stay in the system and out of your living space. When we finish, we walk you through what was done and what we saw. Photos are often the clearest way to show what is inside a flue or vent.
- Inspect first, then clean
- Explain findings in plain language
- Keep the work area clean and contained
- Recommend repairs only when the condition calls for them
Chimneys, dryer vents and air ducts
Chimneys: The NFPA 211 standard calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected once a year. A basic visual inspection fits when nothing has changed. A more detailed inspection is the right choice when you add a new appliance, switch fuels, or buy or sell a home. If a hidden problem has to be reached by opening part of the chimney or wall, that is a separate, more involved step, and we will explain it before anything is opened.
Oil-to-gas conversions: When a New York City building converts its boiler from oil to gas, the chimney has to be evaluated as part of the work. Gas exhaust produces acidic condensate that can wear down a masonry flue, so a new liner is often needed. We can look at your chimney and explain what your conversion is likely to require.
Dryer vents: The U.S. Fire Administration identifies failure to clean as the leading factor in home clothes dryer fires. We clear lint from the full vent run, not just the trap, and check that the exhaust leaves the house freely.
Air ducts: We follow the EPA's guidance. Cleaning makes sense when there is substantial visible mold, signs of vermin, or excessive dust and debris. Duct cleaning has not been shown to prevent health problems, so we won't suggest it does. We don't push chemical treatments, and we encourage you to understand the process before you hire anyone, us included.
Working around Staten Island homes
Staten Island has a mix of older masonry chimneys, converted heating systems, and newer homes with long dryer vent runs. Each one needs a different kind of attention. We take the time to understand how your system is set up before deciding what it needs.
New York City's heat season runs from October 1 through May 31. If you rely on a fireplace, stove or boiler during those months, scheduling a cleaning and inspection before the cold sets in gives you time to handle any repairs without rushing.
What to expect
How a visit goes
-
We look first
Every job starts with an inspection of the chimney, vent or ductwork. We don't quote repairs for problems we haven't seen.
-
We show you what we see
We take photos inside the flue, on the roof and along the vent run. You can see the cracked tile, the blocked vent or the missing cap for yourself.
-
We leave the house clean
Drop cloths go down before tools come out, and sealed vacuums keep soot and dust in the equipment instead of in your living room.

Tell us what you're noticing, whether that's a smell, a leak, a slow dryer or a home you're about to buy. We'll inspect it, show you what we find, and give you a written price before any work begins.
