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 Fair Lawn, NJ
Fair Lawn is detached housing on walkable roofs, which makes it one of the more straightforward boroughs to work in. The variable is not the appointment — that runs the same way at every address — but what turns up on the screen, and around here that comes down to one question: is the boiler still burning what the chimney was designed around?

The short answer
Brushwork, camera surveys, repairs and laundry ducts throughout the borough. The routine never varies; the report does.
What we find on these jobs
The report we file most often in this borough concerns proportion. Somebody swapped an oil burner for gas, nobody narrowed the chimney to match, and now a modern appliance is exhaling into a shaft built for something four times its size. The gases give up their warmth well before daylight, turn back into water, and that water carries enough acidity to eat the bedding between the tiles from a side nobody can see. Steel cut to the appliance is the answer, and more often than not it does more than halt the decay — it gives people back a chimney that draws properly for the first time in years. On the older streets there is a second theme: crowns that have absorbed the best part of a century of freezing and thawing, which is exactly why they get examined ahead of any brushing. And laundry ducts here tend to be long enough that doing them the same morning saves a separate trip.

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 Fair Lawn
The boiler went from oil to gas a while back. Does the chimney care?
Generally that the shaft is now far bigger than the appliance requires, so the exhaust chills and turns back to water before it gets out. It is the single most frequent write-up in this borough, and what follows is steel sized to the boiler rather than to the hole it happens to be sitting in.
Is the boiler shaft done at the same time as the hearth one?
They are normally two separate shafts inside one structure and both deserve attention. People telephone about the fireplace one; the appliance one is the shaft quietly corroding, and after a fuel conversion it is the whole reason the camera comes off the van.
Is an older house here a different job?
The routine is identical; the survey earns its keep more. Tighter shafts, older mortar and crowns carrying a century of frost behind them all argue for looking before brushing, at every address, every time.
How far in advance should we book?
Sooner in the autumn than instinct suggests. The fortnight after the first real frost is the busiest stretch of our year, and any masonry work the visit turns up then needs a run of dry days that December rarely provides.
