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 Hoboken, NJ
Almost everything we look at in Hoboken is pre-war, narrow, attached and now divided into apartments. The practical consequence is that the visit has two halves: working out what the stack actually is, and then doing the work on the one flue that concerns you.

The short answer
Surveys, brushwork, repairs and laundry ducts across Hoboken, where half the appointment is simply working out what the structure has become.
What we find on these jobs
The commonest situation here is a stack that has been reorganised without documentation every time the building changed hands or was subdivided. Flues get abandoned, reconnected, shared or blocked, and the arrangement any given resident believes in was inherited from whoever told them last. The camera turns that into something written down. Beyond the map, the recurring physical findings are the ones age produces: smoke chambers of unparged corbelled brick that hold deposit and slow a sweep down considerably, tile joints opened by years of acidic condensate from appliances far smaller than the shafts they use, and occasionally a flue that was capped over during a renovation with the appliance still connected to it.

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 Hoboken
Our condo board wants a report before approving work.
That is what the written report is for. It says what was inspected, what was found, what it photographs as and what follows, and it is written so somebody who is not a chimney professional can act on it. Tell us on the phone that a board is going to read it and we will make sure it covers what they will ask.
Who arranges roof access in a building like ours?
Usually the building rather than the resident. If you do not hold a key to the hatch, the useful first call is to the managing agent, and then to us with the answer — a visit that arrives to a locked hatch achieves nothing for anyone.
Can our fireplace be used at all?
It depends what the scan shows, and it is genuinely worth finding out rather than assuming either way. Some of these flues are in good order and have simply not been used; some have been quietly reconnected to something else; some are blocked. All three look identical from the living room.
Do you do dryer vents in these buildings?
Yes, and they are frequently the more urgent job. In a converted building the dryer run can be long, internal and shared with nothing, which means it collects lint steadily and nobody has ever opened it.
