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 Franklin Township, NJ
Franklin Township is the largest municipality in Somerset County, and out here a visit gets its own planned date rather than a slot borrowed from a closer job. It’s also the one township where the job is as likely to be a dryer vent or an air duct as a chimney: fewer than half its homes are a standalone detached house, and a third of the township is multi-family.

The short answer
Sweeping and chimney work happen here too, but Franklin’s mix of attached homes and multi-family buildings means duct cleaning and dryer vent runs are just as much of the job as any flue.
What we find on Franklin jobs
Franklin is the one town in the county where the flue is the exception, not the rule. A third of the housing is multi-family and another fifth is attached, which pushes the recurring work toward chase covers on the newer construction, and toward roof- or gable-terminated dryer runs that get long enough to matter; the state’s one- and two-family code caps a dryer duct at 35 feet, less a few feet for every elbow, and a townhouse run through two floors uses up most of that allowance. Where the housing is genuinely old, Griggstown, Blackwells Mills, East Millstone, the Franklin edge of Kingston, all built along the old canal and mill villages, the work reverts to real masonry, and often a stack nobody has touched in decades. Between those two extremes sits the newest quarter of the township, built in 2000 or later, where the appliance is a listed metal firebox and the job is clearance and chase-cover condition rather than mortar.

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 Franklin Township
Does Franklin’s Somerset neighborhood get the same service as the rest of the township?
Yes; the Somerset section is part of Franklin Township, and coverage is the same across the whole township regardless of which named community you’re in. What changes street to street is the housing type, not the service: expect the questions on the phone to be about whether you have a fireplace at all, since a fair number of Franklin homes heat with electricity and have no flue to sweep.
We live in a townhouse. Where does our dryer actually vent to?
Often further than people expect. In attached and multi-family construction the run frequently goes up through a wall cavity and out through the roof or a gable rather than straight out the back, and New Jersey’s residential code limits how long that run can be before airflow suffers. If your dryer is taking multiple cycles to finish, a long or restricted run is one of the first things worth checking.
Our house in Franklin was built after 2000. Do we even have a chimney to sweep?
Possibly not, or not in the traditional sense. A quarter of Franklin’s housing was built in 2000 or later, and very little of that has a site-built masonry fireplace; the more common setup is a factory-made metal firebox venting through a framed, sided chase. If that’s what you have, the job is inspecting the chase and the clearances, not sweeping tile.
How does scheduling work for a Franklin address?
Franklin sits out in the western part of the county, so a visit gets booked as its own planned appointment rather than added onto a route through closer towns. Tell us what’s happening on the phone and we’ll set a date; because the trip is planned in advance, the technician isn’t working around a tighter schedule closer to home.
