Services
Chimney Inspections
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive chimney inspections to identify safety hazards, structural issues, and performance problems. We check for creosote buildup, cracks, leaks, and obstructions that could compromise fireplace efficiency. Annual inspections help maintain optimal chimney function and prevent potential fire hazards.
Chimney Relining
We specialize in chimney relining services using HeatShield, Thermocrete, and stainless steel solutions. Damaged liners are replaced or reinforced to improve ventilation, reduce fire risk, and protect chimney walls. Our expert relining ensures proper gas flow and enhances overall chimney safety and efficiency.
Masonry Repointing
Our masonry repointing service restores deteriorated mortar joints in chimneys and brickwork. We remove damaged mortar and replace it with fresh, high-quality materials to restore structural integrity. This process extends the lifespan of masonry structures and improves their appearance.
Fireplace Inserts
We install energy-efficient fireplace inserts that convert traditional fireplaces into high-performance heating systems. Available in multiple fuel types, these inserts improve heat output while reducing energy consumption. Our team ensures proper installation for optimal safety and efficiency.
Commercial Masonry
Our commercial masonry services maintain structural integrity and code compliance for business properties. We handle large-scale repairs, restorations, and maintenance projects for chimneys and brick structures. These services help preserve property value and ensure safe working environments.

Terrible, dishonest, deceptive, rude, and unresponsive company. It has now been over 3 months since I made the major mistake of having Central Masonry and Chimney, Inc. in Dolgeville, NY (they also purport to have a location in Syracuse, which is questionable,) do a chimney inspection on a home that I was considering purchasing. Despite their repeated promises of giving me a written estimate for necessary work (I needed a fireplace insert and a woodburning stove, which they told me they could do,) which was a necessary element for me to negotiate the purchase price of the house, they have continuously

Please avoid this company at all costs!! I had bricks, metal and soot coming down the chimney in my HOME because chimney was not sealed off.You have no contact with the owner despite probloms. One year and 13,000 later, it was pouring rain into my home thru my chimney. Company did not come and solve the issue and I will be spending another 2300.00 to fix the issue.The top of the the chimney was done incorrectly.Horrible experience!!!!
