A thorough chimney sweep from Matts Brothers is not a quick brush-and-go job. Our certified technicians use commercial-grade rotary cleaning systems and high-powered HEPA vacuums to remove creosote deposits, soot buildup, bird nests, and debris from the firebox all the way up through the flue cap. We protect your floors and furniture before we start and leave zero mess behind. Every sweep includes a visual inspection of accessible components so you know exactly what condition your system is in. For Plainview homes burning wood regularly through Long Island's cold winters, we recommend annual service before the heating season. Pricing is transparent and confirmed before any work begins. Call (347) 428-1471 to schedule.
Request this service →Not every inspection is created equal, and Matts Brothers does not cut corners. We perform CSIA-standard Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections depending on your situation. Buying a home in Plainview or Syosset? A Level 2 inspection with video scanning gives you the complete picture of the flue interior before you sign anything. Experiencing unusual odors, draft problems, or visible cracking? We diagnose the root cause rather than guessing. Our written inspection report documents every finding with photos so you have a clear record for insurance, real estate, or your own files. There are no hidden fees, and if we find nothing wrong, we tell you that too. Honesty is the foundation of every job we do.

Cracked crowns, spalling bricks, deteriorated mortar joints, and damaged flashing are not cosmetic problems — they let water into your home's structure and accelerate dangerous deterioration. Matts Brothers handles everything from targeted tuckpointing on a single course of brick to complete chimney rebuilds above the roofline. We use weather-appropriate mortars and proven masonry techniques, not quick patches that fail in two winters. Every repair job includes a clear written scope of work and timeline before we start. Our crews are experienced with the variety of chimney styles found across Long Island's mid-century housing stock, from ranch homes to two-story colonials. No repair is too small or too complex.

Cracked clay tiles allow carbon monoxide and combustion gases to seep into living spaces, and no amount of cleaning fixes a structurally failed liner. Matts Brothers installs flexible stainless steel liner systems sized precisely for your appliance — wood stove, fireplace, gas insert, or oil furnace — as well as cast-in-place liner solutions for chimneys with irregular flue shapes. We handle the full permitting process and ensure every installation meets New York State and local building codes. Our liner work comes backed by manufacturer warranties plus our own labor guarantee. If you have an older Plainview home with original clay tile liners, call us for an honest evaluation.
Request this service →Two of the most cost-effective upgrades any Plainview homeowner can make are a quality chimney cap and a functional top-sealing damper. A stainless steel cap keeps rain, squirrels, starlings, and debris from entering your flue — problems we see constantly on homes across Nassau County. An inefficient or broken throat damper leaks conditioned air year-round, quietly inflating your energy bills. Matts Brothers stocks and installs caps in every size and style, from basic galvanized to heavy-duty stainless, and replaces faulty throat dampers with energy-efficient top-mount models that seal like a storm door. We will recommend the right products for your specific chimney dimensions and usage, not whatever carries the highest margin. Fast installation, same-day service often available.
Request this service →Dryer vent cleaning is the overlooked home-safety service that Plainview homeowners consistently put off until something goes wrong. Lint accumulation inside the vent duct is a leading cause of residential fires, and it also forces your dryer to run longer cycles, shortening the machine's life and raising your electric or gas bill. Matts Brothers cleans dryer vents from the interior connection point all the way to the exterior termination cap, removing compacted lint and checking for crushed or kinked duct sections that restrict airflow. We service all duct configurations including long runs and those with multiple elbows common in Plainview's split-level and raised-ranch floor plans. Service takes about an hour and the results are immediate. Bundle with your annual chimney sweep for a convenient and discounted visit.
