Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.
Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Raritan Township, NJ
Raritan Township is the largest municipality in Hunterdon County by housing count, and it completely surrounds Flemington Borough, so most of its mail reads Flemington. Most of the housing here went up during the 1980s subdivision boom, gas-heated and newer than almost anywhere else we cover in the county. We schedule sweeping, inspection, repair, and duct and dryer vent work here as part of the same Hunterdon trip out from Bloomfield.

The short answer
In Raritan Township we sweep, inspect, and repair chimneys and factory-built systems from the township’s 1980s building boom, handle gas liner work and orphaned water heater venting, and run air duct and dryer vent cleaning across its houses and townhome rows.
What we find on Raritan Township jobs
Raritan Township is the county’s biggest municipality by housing count, and one of its odder facts matters for anyone searching for us: the township has no post office, so it completely surrounds Flemington Borough and most of its own addresses read Flemington rather than Raritan. Most of the housing went up during one long run through the 1980s, which puts a lot of these chimneys and factory-built systems at thirty-five to forty-five years old — the age where the failures we see tend to be at the chase cover, the storm collar, and the roof penetration rather than in mortar joints, since there usually is not any mortar to speak of. Eight in ten households here run on gas, the highest share of any town on our Hunterdon route, so the work leans toward liner sizing after an equipment swap and orphaned water heater venting rather than oil-flue cleaning. More than a fifth of the housing is attached, the largest townhouse share in the six towns we cover here, and a shared chase means one unit’s blocked flue is not always only that owner’s problem.

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 Raritan Township
My address says Flemington, but I think I’m actually in Raritan Township. Does that matter?
It can, for the permit side of things. Raritan Township has no post office, so its mail routes through the Flemington ZIP code even though the township runs its own construction office and issues its own permits. Tell us the municipality when you call, not just the mailing address, and we will confirm which office a repair or rebuild actually needs to go through.
Our chimney is a metal system from the 1980s. Is that still normal to service?
Very much so — that decade is when most of Raritan Township was built, so a factory-built metal chimney from then is closer to typical here than a masonry stack is. At thirty-five to forty-five years old, the usual issues are a corroded chase cover, a failed storm collar, or gaps where the pipe meets the roof, rather than anything to do with mortar.
We just had our boiler switched from oil to gas. Does the chimney need anything?
Almost always, yes. A chimney or vent sized for an oil burner is usually the wrong size for the gas appliance that replaces it, and New Jersey’s chimney verification rule means whoever installs the new equipment has to confirm the vent is sound and correctly sized before the job is signed off — not something a homeowner can certify alone.
We’re in one of the townhome sections. Is our chimney shared with a neighbor?
Possibly. A meaningful share of Raritan Township’s housing is attached, and rows built together often share a chimney chase between units, so a problem on one side is not automatically only that owner’s issue. We run a camera down each flue to confirm which one is actually affected before recommending any work.
