What does it mean to be a Brownstone
& Pre-War Specialist?
A Brownstone & Pre-War Specialist, in the construction industry, is a
company that works in buildings built prior to 1910 - 1920. These Pre-War
buildings are typically called Brownstones but also include Townhouses,
Carriage-Houses, Limestones & a few other variants from the Pre-War era. To
become a specialist in this field can only be accomplished through experience.
Many Contractors & Chimney
Companies claim to be Brownstone & Pre-War Specialists from the day they
open for business.
Big Apple
Chimney has earned the title "New York's Premier Brownstone & Pre-War
Specialist" through years of experience renovating brownstones
and buildings of the Pre-War era, as well as thousands of
Fireplaces & Chimneys, Repaired, Re-Built & Restored. If it's
important to you when choosing a contractor to have a legitimate specialist in
this field, you must check their references. Only your neighbors can tell you,
if you are using a company familiar with Brownstone and Pre-War buildings.

advertising and wild claims by out of state and inexperienced chimney outfits.
Remember,
the buildings in New York City are like nowhere else in this country, the NYC
building codes are strict and change rapidly, you need a specialist in the
field, who has the knowledge and experience necessary to work properly within
these structures and guidelines.
