Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.
Chimney and duct work in Newark, NJ
Two things get decided before a Newark appointment is even confirmed, and neither of them is about brushes. How does anyone get onto that roof, and out of the shafts inside that stack, which one ends at your appliance. On attached housing the answer to the first is a hatch, and the answer to the second is rarely what anybody assumes.

The short answer
Camera work, sweeping, repairs and dryer runs across the whole city — with both of those questions answered on the telephone rather than discovered on the doorstep.
What we find on these jobs
What turns up most is a mismatch of scale. These shafts were laid for coal, adapted for oil, adapted again for gas, and nobody narrowed anything on the way through — so a modern appliance is now breathing into a chimney several sizes too generous for it. The exhaust loses its heat long before the top, condenses, and drips back onto residue from three separate fuel eras that has never been cleared out. Running a close second: smoke chambers of bare stepped brickwork, never rendered, offering an enormous rough surface for deposit to cling to and taking genuine time to bring back. Move north into the larger detached stock and the subject changes altogether — up there it is rain, not soot, and the answers are found on the roof with the crown and the metalwork rather than at the hearth.

Expert setup, high-powered vacuums, and absolutely no dust residue. Excellent work.
Water had been leaking around the chimney flashing, but the repair solved it completely. The crew sealed and reinforced the affected area with precision. Rain is no longer a concern. The workmanship looks strong and durable.
Questions from Newark
Is my flue too big for my boiler?
Around here, usually. A shaft that once carried coal and later oil is enormously generous next to what a modern gas unit puts out, and the water that condenses as a result is slightly acidic and spends years working outward through the brick where nobody can watch it happen.
How will you reach my roof?
Via the hatch nearly every time. Tell us on the phone whether yours opens and who holds the key — it determines how the appointment is staffed and whether a second pair of hands needs to come along.
Do you work in the Ironbound?
Yes, and everywhere else in the city. What the density changes is the logistics — parking, hatch keys, timing — rather than the job itself, which is identical to the job three miles away.
I am buying a two-family. Which inspection do I need?
The Level 2, with every shaft run on camera. A century of appliances swapped in and out leaves questions that a visual check of the accessible parts cannot even reach, let alone answer, and the answer is a good deal cheaper before the closing than after it.
