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 Haddonfield Borough, NJ
Haddonfield is the oldest town on this list by a wide margin, settled in 1682 and still carrying the highest share of pre-1940 housing anywhere we work in Camden County. That age, combined with a historic district covering much of the center, means real masonry fireplaces here outnumber anything else we see this far south — and a visit still gets scheduled well ahead, since we're a genuine distance from Bloomfield.

The short answer
Haddonfield's housing is the oldest and most heavily masonry of any town we cover — genuine coal-era chimneys carrying multiple flues in one stack — and because of the historic district, exterior work is usually worth clearing with the borough first.
The town where restoration beats replacement
Haddonfield carries the oldest housing on this list — settled in 1682, half its stock built before 1940, with a historic district covering much of the center. On a camera scan that produces the real thing: single stacks corbelled up from the firebox with more than one flue inside, built before crowns were standard, converted from coal to oil and sometimes gas without the flue ever being resized. It's also the most owner-occupied, most detached town we cover, which in practice means people here pay for proper restoration rather than trading an old chimney in. Oil hangs on longer here than anywhere else on the list, and it leaves a heavier, more acidic glaze on clay tile than gas condensate or wood creosote does. And because under one house in eight runs on electric heat, the lowest share of any town we cover, most properties here carry two live flues rather than one — a heating flue and a fireplace flue, each needing its own look. Exterior work anywhere in the district, from a rebuilt crown to visible repointing, is worth clearing with the borough before it starts.

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 Haddonfield Borough
Our house has two flues in one stack — is that unusual for Haddonfield?
Not unusual at all here. A lot of the borough's pre-1940 chimneys were built to carry more than one flue in a single stack, often for a fireplace and whatever heated the house at the time. It's worth having each flue scanned on its own rather than assuming what serves what from old paperwork or memory.
We're in the historic district. Do we need approval before any chimney work?
For anything visible from the street — a rebuilt crown, a new cap, repointing on the face of the stack — it's worth checking with the borough's Historic Preservation Commission before work starts, not after. Sweeping, scanning and lining inside the flue itself don't change the building's exterior, so those generally aren't the concern.
Our furnace still runs on oil. Does that change what you look for?
It does. Oil leaves a heavier, more acidic residue on a clay flue than a gas appliance or a wood fire does, and it behaves differently under a brush. Haddonfield has the highest share of oil heat of any town we cover, so it's a residue we see often here and know how to handle properly.
We have both a working fireplace and a furnace flue. Do they both need checking?
Yes, and that's actually the normal case in Haddonfield — fewer homes here run on electric heat than anywhere else we cover, so most properties are carrying two live flues rather than one. We look at both on the same visit; there's no reason to schedule them separately.
