What Volko Supply Co. Inc. does

Volko Supply Co. Inc. is a third-generation, privately held wholesale building material supply house founded in 1948 and headquartered at 205 Herricks Road in Garden City Park, NY. The company specializes in chimney ventilation products, with its core offering being the registered Chim-A-Lator brand of all-stainless-steel top-sealing chimney dampers, complemented by the Spider Damper II (round top dampers), Air-A-Lator (fresh air intake), and flue extension accessories. Technical differentiation centers on a six-setting regulator that controls draft for more efficient burning, a 400 lb test cable/turnbuckle adjustment system, and recessed damper designs that avoid interference with existing chimney caps. Products are available in 17 standard sizes plus custom configurations, with optional powder-coated finishes and spark arrestor mesh.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model through the volkosupply.com e-commerce storefront (PayPal checkout, free shipping in the lower 48 states) supplemented by multiple satellite websites (volko.com, volkoweb.com, chimalators.com) and toll-free phone support for custom orders and sizing assistance. Pricing is transactional unit pricing with no subscription component: standard Chimalators range $420–$1,075, round Spider Damper II Kits are $275–$295, and replacement parts such as the Deluxe Handle sell for $46. The primary customer segment is residential homeowners with masonry fireplaces, with secondary demand from fireplace restoration specialists and trade professionals (chimney sweeps, masons, contractors).

Volko Supply maintains a 'brick and mortar' identity with live VolkoCam traffic monitoring and offers a lifetime warranty on stainless steel products and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The company has no disclosed funding, no headcount figures, no parent company, no M&A activity, no AI capabilities, no public API or mobile app, and no social media presence beyond its web properties. It is owned and operated by the Scherzinger family, with Reiner Scherzinger identified as a principal on the About Us page.
