If it's urgent
Smoke coming back into the room, a burning smell after a fire, an animal in the flue, or water running down the chimney breast — stop using the fireplace and call us.
What we do
Four things,
done properly.
We inspect chimneys, we clean them, we repair the masonry, and we cap them so the weather stays out. That's the whole business.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweeping
Ninety-nine dollars for a chimney cleaning, with the inspection included. Drop cloths down, HEPA vacuum running, and your floors the way we found them.
$99 · inspection included
Chimney Repair
Repointing, crown rebuilds, liners and flashing. Every repair starts with photographs of the problem and a written quote.
Starts with the $49 inspection
Chimney Cap & Crown
The cheapest repair on a chimney, and the one that prevents the expensive ones. A cap keeps water, animals and embers where they belong.

Fireplace & Safety
Two real risks, explained without the scare tactics: a chimney fire and carbon monoxide. Here's what actually causes each one and what to check before your first fire.

Fall is the busy stretch here. Most New Jersey households book in the two weeks after the first genuinely cold night, so times go quickly from late September.

Why people call us
No surprises
on the roof.
The camera scan is the part that matters. It's how you find out whether the flue is clear, whether the liner is intact, and whether anything is venting where it should not — without taking anyone's word for it.

The work
What we are
usually called for
Six jobs written the way they typically go, from the camera scan to what the photo report showed. They're examples of the work, not a customer's file, and no names or addresses appear anywhere.
Smoke coming back into the room
A wood stove that had drafted fine for years started pushing smoke into the living room on the first cold night.
The camera scan found the flue choked with creosote above the smoke chamber. Cleaned, re-scanned, and the draft was back the same visit.
Water on the chimney breast
A brown stain spreading on the plaster beside the fireplace after a week of rain.
The crown was cracked through and the cap was missing. Both were dealt with, and the photo report showed the owner exactly where the water was getting in.
A bird in the flue
Scratching from behind the fireplace and a smell that got worse through the week.
A nest sat on the smoke shelf. It was cleared, the flue was scanned to make sure nothing was left, and a cap went on so it can't happen again.
A liner that had failed
An old home inspection had passed the chimney; a new furnace made the seller nervous enough to ask for a real look.
The camera found the clay liner cracked in two places. The report went to both sides with the images, so the repair was priced on facts.
A fireplace that had never been used
New owners wanted to light the first fire of the winter and had no idea what was behind the damper.
The scan found a damper rusted shut and a decade of debris. Cleared, cleaned and photographed, and they used the fireplace that weekend.
A furnace flue nobody had checked
The chimney served a gas furnace only, so it had never been swept.
Scale had built up where the liner met the crown. Cleaned and scanned, with the images kept on file for the next inspection.
Common questions
Straight answers
What does the $49 inspection include?
A camera scan of the full flue, the firebox, damper, smoke shelf and smoke chamber, the crown and cap above the roofline, and confirmation of which appliances vent where. You get a written report with photographs the same day.
What's the difference between the $49 and the $99?
$49 is an inspection — we scan the flue with a camera and tell you the condition it's in. $99 is a cleaning — we brush the full flue, clear the smoke shelf and firebox, and the inspection is included with it.
How long does it take?
An inspection on a typical single-flue house is about forty-five minutes to an hour. A cleaning is usually ninety minutes to two hours depending on the condition of the flue and roof access.
How often should a chimney be cleaned?
Once a year for any chimney in regular use. If you heat with wood as a main heat source you may need it more than once a season, and we will show you the photographs that support that recommendation rather than just asserting it.
Do you offer same-day service?
Often, yes, particularly if you call before noon. Fall is the busiest stretch in New Jersey because most people book after the first cold night, so the earlier in the season you call the more choice of times you have.
What areas of New Jersey do you cover?
