Where we work, and why it changes the job

A brownstone flue in Hoboken and a split-level in Parsippany are not the same job. Same trade, different building — and the building is what decides how a chimney fails.

A repointed brick chimney with new flashing on a North Jersey roof

The short answer

This business serves 19 towns across 8 New Jersey counties — Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson, Union, Middlesex, Morris and Monmouth. That list is not a guess: it is the service area declared on the company's own Google Business Profile. What changes between those towns is not the trade but the building, and the housing here falls into four recognisable groups. Knowing which one you live in is how we arrive with the right kit in the van and a good idea of where to start.

Four kinds of building, and what we turn up knowing about each

  • Row houses and brownstones

    Narrow party-wall flues, and roof access by hatch rather than by ladder. We bring rods and a camera head sized for a tight flue, and we know to check whether a fireplace that has been closed up for years is ready to be used again before anybody lights it.

  • Two- and three-family houses

    One masonry stack usually carries several flues. We scan each one on its own, so what we tell you is about your flue and nobody else's, and we look at the smoke chamber for what earlier fuels left behind.

  • Post-war houses with an open fireplace

    Lined stacks serving open fireplaces, and dryer runs that cross the basement before they reach an outside wall. We measure that run before we quote it, because the number of elbows in it decides how the vent gets cleaned.

  • Near the bay and the estuary

    Salt in the air and rain driven in from the north-east. We fit stainless rather than galvanised this close to the water, and we look at the flashing on every visit instead of waiting for it to leak.

There was a lot of shaking in the chimney at night because the cap had come loose. They took it out and replaced it with a safe locking model, fixed the broken tile below, cleaned up the mess, and checked the…

Cody Thompson

The formation of water stains around the fireplace was prevented by repairing the flashing. The sealing seems to be well-done and secure. At last, weatherproofing feels solid. Thorough focus on detail.

Not sure if you are in range?

Call and ask. The boundary is a real commercial one, not a circle on a map, and it moves a little with the season. We would rather tell you straight away than book you and move it twice.
