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 Union City, NJ
Union City is about as dense as New Jersey gets, and that makes access the planning question rather than the work. On attached housing the route to the roof is a hatch, the parking is somebody else's problem unless it is arranged, and both of those get settled on the phone rather than on the doorstep.

What we find on these jobs
Pre-war attached housing produces a particular set of findings. Smoke chambers are commonly rough corbelled brick that was never parged smooth, which means deposit clings to a large irregular surface and clearing it properly takes longer than clearing the straight run above it — that is the part of a sweep here that actually takes the time. Above that, tile joints opened by decades of acidic condensate from undersized modern appliances in oversized coal-era shafts. And running through all of it, the flue map: which shaft serves which unit, which ones are abandoned, and whether the separations between them are still doing their job. In a building where several households share one structure, that last question is the one with real consequences behind 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 Union City
How do you get to the roof here?
Through the hatch, almost always. Tell us when you ring whether there is one, whether it is locked and who holds the key, because that decides how the visit is planned and whether a second person needs to come along.
Where will the van park?
It is worth mentioning when you book. On some of these streets the answer changes the time of day we come rather than whether we come, and it is far better sorted in advance than negotiated with the equipment already out.
Our building has six units. Do you scan every flue?
We scan what is relevant to the question you are asking. For a single apartment that means identifying your flue and confirming the separations around it; for a whole-building report it means every shaft in the stack, which is a longer visit and worth booking as one.
The sweep seems to take longer here than people say.
It usually does, and the smoke chamber is why. An unparged corbelled chamber presents a large rough surface that holds deposit, and clearing it properly is slower than working the straight run of liner above it. A visit that finishes quickly on this housing has probably skipped it.
