Belvedere Fireplace and Chimney

I would like to say thank you to Paul, Kamil Lapinski President of Fireplace and Chimney Inc., and the entire team of people that came to our rescue assessing our chimney concerns. They were very professional and helpful and informative with getting us to code from poor building short cuts by non caring developers, but they got us restored and heat back to our home. I would be more than happy to recommend them for future customers for contractors that cared.

After considering a number of proposals, I hired Kamil to reline a chimney flue and restore a long disused fireplace in my home in Brooklyn. While he was not as widely known as some companies, I found him to be by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. Even though it was a relatively small job, he gave a competitive price, personally supervised the work, and took the time discuss and select the best quality materials for my job. He and his employees were extremely polite and accommodating throughout the process. They carefully protected the interior of our home with appropriate dust barriers and dropcloths etc. When the work turned out to be a little more challenging than he expected, he stood by his price and put in extra hours to complete the job on schedule.
After the project was over, he remained very responsive. At one point, we experienced some drafting issues which he resolved by changing the chimney cap. Later, our cast iron fireplace surround became unstable due to some shortcuts taken by a previous owner. He quickly came and took it to a metal shop where it was restored seamlessly.
I would not hesitate to use Kamil again, and if you are considering a chimney job, I would definitely recommend getting a bid from Belvedere.

Similar to other reviewers, I had previously had terrible experiences with 3 other chimney companies. Kamil was fantastic: prompt, reliable, responsive via text and email, an excellent diagnostician (found and fixed a leak we couldn’t previously nail down, made other good recommendations), extremely professional crew. Will definitely be using him again.

I contacted Kamil after a disastrous experience with an unprofessional builder, who improperly installed fireplaces in my home. Kamil rescued my project. He is a punctual, courteous, knowledgeable professional who takes great pride in his work and understands the need for
delicate workmanship in a family home. I could not recommend his business more highly.

Excellent! Efficient and timely! Highly recommended. I always appreciate a business that I can trust and Belvedere is one of them. I’m very pleased with this business and, to be honest, I’m generally hard to please.

Very unprofessional. I had an appointment for this past Friday. I was confirmed via telephone on the Wednesday prior. Not only did they not show up, they didn’t even have the courtesy to call. I guess their time is the only time that means money. The fact that I lost time at work means nothing to them. The only reason they get a star, is because this site won’t let me post without one!!!
