"I was extremely satisfied with High Quality Service Landscaping. My garden looks beautiful. They removed all the weeds and filled in bags of Mulch and designed small white rocks all around. It's just breath taking. They also painted my railings, removed the rust and primed it and painted black. I am so happy with the quality work they accomplished. I plan to hire them again in the future to install fence around the yard. They are the best. HIGH QUALITY Service Landscaping speak to Janeth Ortega the boss, she's the best and very understanding."

"Dream Contracting Inc. does it all!! I have hired Muhammad Moaiz several times. He has put up pavers, done electrical work, built concrete structures and so much more. I was always impressed with how much care and attention he puts in every project that he does. Muhammed is reliable, honest, and extremely professional. I highly recommend Muhammed and will definitely hire him again."

"All their work was excellent. Not only did they replace our roof and repair water damage in our dining room, we had them do other jobs too. Replacement basement windows, outdoor lighting, and fencing. I would definitely hire them again."

"I had REEM construction come to my house and had them redo the entire front of my house. New front steps for my front door, along with paver flooring and my front lawn retaining wall on both sides of my door. They did an amazing job and I couldn?t be happier. Throughout the entire job I was given professional advice on brick and paver selection and layout, and help with getting some nice lights in. Can?t recommend them enough!"

FAQs for demolition projects in Brooklyn, NY

A complete chimney demolition takes close to five days with a two-person crew; removing only the stack can be completed in half a day. Pros take the structure down brick by brick, add temporary supports if needed, and haul away debris before they leave. Their step-by-step approach safeguards nearby walls and the roof while keeping dust and hazards in check.

Most municipalities require a permit before any part of the chimney comes down. Check with your local building department for the exact fees and paperwork, and confirm any HOA rules that may be applicable. Your structural engineer or chimney professional can obtain the permit on your behalf and ensure that every step complies with local safety and zoning codes.

You can close up your chimney instead of demolishing it. This process involves sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap, and closing the fireplace opening with a secure barrier such as bricks or a door. Closing the chimney maintains the structure while preventing airflow, moisture, and debris entry. This method reduces demolition costs and complies with building code requirements when complete removal is not necessary.

Removing a chimney and switching to modern, eco-friendly alternatives enhances your property’s appeal through increased energy efficiency and potential LEED certification. However, many buyers insist on an operational fireplace, and as a result, removal can reduce overall home value by $5,000. Homeowners should assess market expectations and consult experts to ensure that any changes align with their long-term property goals.

It’s crucial to determine if your chimney is load-bearing before starting removal. Modern homes feature chimneys that are independent of the building’s structure, whereas older homes rely on chimneys for support of critical systems. Review your blueprints or consult a qualified structural engineer to confirm if additional support is necessary. This step ensures safe removal and sound planning.
