The 39 towns and eleven New Jersey counties we serve
From our base in Bloomfield we cover the Essex County towns next door, the cities of Hudson and Passaic counties, the suburbs of Union, Bergen, Morris, Middlesex and Monmouth, the Somerset and Hunterdon towns to the west, and six Camden County towns on scheduled days.
How the list is organized
Bloomfield sits in Essex County, close to most of the places we serve. The 39 towns in eleven counties are grouped below by the kind of housing they have, because a prewar two family house in Paterson and a 1990s townhouse in Hillsborough need different work on the same question. Find your county or town below.
Seven kinds of neighborhoods we work in
Farm country on oil heat
Readington, Tewksbury and Lebanon Townships are rural, mostly detached houses with heavy oil heat. In Lebanon Township, 52.5 percent of households burn fuel oil, and wood is the main heat in 7.3 percent.

Newer subdivisions and townhouses
Clinton, Raritan, Hillsborough, Bridgewater, Bernards, Franklin, Voorhees and Gloucester Townships were built mostly after 1970, with many factory-built fireplaces, metal chimneys in framed chases and townhouse dryer vents that run to the roof.

Prewar city blocks
Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City, West New York and Somerville have dense older housing, row houses and walk-ups where one boiler chimney often serves a whole building.

Postwar suburbs
Union Township, Clifton, Fair Lawn, Manville, Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Edison, Parsippany, Plainfield and New Brunswick grew fast after the war, and many of their houses still have the brick chimney they were built with.

Towns near the water
Bayonne, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy and Middletown sit by bays and rivers, where wind and salt air wear on caps, flashing and the top of the chimney first.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
A hundred years of lime mortar requires a careful, low-RPM touch, and that antique sensibility was obvious in the preservation-grade sweeping of our 1910 hearth.
Soot was cleaned from the flue lining with non-abrasive polymer heads, leaving the critical structural integrity of the ceramic glaze undamaged.
Before any damage to the fundamental integrity of the ceiling, we were able to fix the outside chimney leaks after identifying significant water damage behind the lead counter-flashing.
