Chimney and duct cleaning in Middletown Township, NJ
Middletown is the only Monmouth County town we cover, about 29 miles from Bloomfield. It is a township of houses: 86.3 percent of its 25,652 homes are single-family, and gas heats 85.3 percent of households.
In brief
In Middletown we sweep and inspect the fireplaces and gas flues of single-family houses, repair crowns, caps and flashing, and clean dryer vents and ducts.
Bayshore houses and fireplaces
Middletown runs from the bayshore neighborhoods of Belford, Port Monmouth and Leonardo inland to Lincroft, and almost all of it is single-family houses. About half were built before 1970, and close to a quarter of all homes date from the 1950s, so brick chimneys with clay liners are common, along with factory-built fireplaces in the newer subdivisions. Near the bay, wind and salt air wear on caps, flashing and the top courses of brick, and that is where most of our repair work here begins. Gas heats more than 85 percent of households, so we inspect plenty of furnace and water heater flues alongside the fireplaces.

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.
Middletown Township questions
We live near the water in Middletown. What wears out first on a chimney?
Usually the cap and the flashing, then the crown. Salt air speeds up rust on metal parts, and a cracked crown lets water into the brick below.
Do you come all the way to Middletown?
Yes. It is about 29 miles from our Bloomfield base, so we schedule a day for Monmouth County. Call from 7 am to 9 pm, or book online at any hour.
Our house has a factory-built fireplace. Does it need sweeping?
If you burn wood in it, yes, and every year it needs an inspection of the firebox, the metal flue and the chase cover on top.
