Replacing Old Coal Shoot Cover - access to basement

Try Northeast Fabricators. They are upstate, but did a job for my brother that turned out well. They turned it around quickly for him and were extremely inexpensive. Their number is 888-753-8012\.

Does anyone know who would build a cover for the old coal shoot (basement access) in the front of the brownstones? I have built two myself out of wood that each lasted three years but, now we are going for metal. Any recommendations would be so helpful as we just got a violation for not having a proper cover – we need one built asap!! All Brownstone owners have them – many I see are metal – but, who makes them?

Any of the decorative iron companies should be able to do it. Look in the archives for recommendations.

I’ve seen some houses where the coal hatch cover has been replaced with a domed velux skylight. Presumably the door at the bottom of the hatch is also removed to allow light to enter the cellar.

A good metal fabricator can do one for you. Or ask the guys at Dykes Lumber. They know everyone who is reliable.
