Stony Point is the most rural corner of Rockland: wooded hillsides toward Harriman and Bear Mountain, the river at Tomkins Cove and Jones Point, and a mix of 1950s ranches, 1970s–90s colonials and older cottages on the lakes and the hill roads that were built for summers and have since been winterized. Wood heat is common, as a primary stove, a fireplace insert, or an outdoor wood boiler. Stoves and inserts produce far more creosote than an open fireplace, and a converted cottage often has a chimney that was never meant for a stove running all winter.
The result is that chimney fires are a real local hazard, and a sweep every season plus a correct insulated stainless liner for any stove or insert are the first things a chimney company will check. Taller hillside homes also lose caps and crowns to wind, and shaded, damp lots keep brick wet. Houses with oil heat that converted to propane or gas have the same liner-sizing question as the rest of the county.
Permits for relining and rebuilds go to the Town of Stony Point Building Department. Every contractor needs the Rockland County home improvement license; for stove installs, ask for a technician certified by CSIA or NFI (National Fireplace Institute).

Stony Point questions
How much does a wood stove liner cost in Stony Point?
HomeGuide's 2026 range for an installed stainless liner is $900 to $3,800; an insulated liner for a stove or insert, which is what is required, typically lands in the $2,000 to $4,500 band locally depending on flue height.
How often should a wood stove chimney be swept?
At least once a season, and twice for a stove that is the main heat source or burns softwood. Creosote from a slow-burning stove builds faster than from an open fireplace.
Is my winterized cottage chimney safe for a stove?
Not until it has been inspected. Cottage chimneys were often short, unlined and built for a small fireplace; a stove needs a continuous insulated liner, clearance to framing, and enough height to draft. A Level 2 inspection answers all three.
