For our homeowner's insurance, we needed proof. They did a full check with photos and video, cleaned the flue, fixed some small problems with the mortar, and sent a professional report the same day. The insurance company agreed to cover…
Chimney and Air Duct Service Across Eleven New Jersey Counties
Thirty-eight towns across eleven counties, worked out of Readington Township — from the oil-heated farmhouses of Hunterdon County’s mill hamlets out through the 1980s subdivisions of Somerset and the rowhouse blocks of Hudson and Essex. Find your town or county below, or call and describe what you’re seeing.

Where the work happens
Readington Township sits in Hunterdon County, but the coverage below runs well past the county line. Eleven counties and thirty-eight towns are grouped here into seven housing patterns, because a farmhouse still burning fuel oil in Lebanon Township and a 1980s subdivision colonial in Bridgewater Township need a completely different answer to the same question. Pick your county or town below to see what actually applies where you live.
The seven kinds of houses we work on
Farmhouse and Mill-Hamlet Country
Readington, Tewksbury and Lebanon Township are farmhouse and mill-hamlet country — in Lebanon Township, more than half of all households still heat with fuel oil, and none of the three runs on mains gas the way the subdivisions closer to the highway do.

The Subdivision Belt
Clinton, Raritan, Hillsborough, Bridgewater, Bernards, Franklin, Voorhees and Gloucester Townships are the tract-house and townhouse build-out of the 1970s through the 1990s, where the fireplace is almost always a listed factory-built unit inside a framed chase rather than a masonry stack.

Prewar Urban Blocks
Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City, West New York and Somerville hold the region’s oldest dense housing — in Somerville, roughly half the stock predates 1960, old enough that New Jersey’s own chimney verification form still carries a checkbox for an unlined masonry flue.

Streetcar Suburbs
Bloomfield, Collingswood Borough and Haddonfield Borough grew up along early trolley lines, and in Collingswood and Haddonfield close to half the housing predates 1940 — real masonry chimneys, sometimes carrying more than one flue in a single stack.

Multifamily Corridors
Newark, Irvington, East Orange, Flemington Borough, Passaic and Paterson carry the region’s densest multi-unit housing — in Flemington Borough alone, close to 57 percent of homes sit in buildings with more than one unit, which puts party-wall flues and shared duct runs ahead of a single-family fireplace.

The Postwar Belt
Manville, New Brunswick, Plainfield, Edison, Parsippany, Clifton, Fair Lawn, Pennsauken Township and Cherry Hill Township built out fastest between the 1940s and the 1980s — in Manville, nearly 43 percent of the housing dates from a single 20-year window after the war, short flues sitting over basement-installed furnaces.

Coastal Towns
Perth Amboy, Elizabeth, Bayonne and Middletown Township sit along tidal water, where basement-installed furnaces and water heaters are worth a second look after a storm surge, not just a seasonal one.

Excellent communication throughout the process. I received a text when the tech was on his way, and he arrived exactly when promised to do the sweep.
After it rained a lot, we saw wet spots on the wall next to the chimney. A broken crown and worn-out flashing were found by the team. They put in new lead boots instead of flashing, poured a new sloped crown, sealed all the joints, and…
