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 Readington Township, NJ
Readington Township mixes things more than anywhere else we cover in Hunterdon: gas heat in the newer sections, fuel oil and propane in the older farmhouses, and a cluster of attached townhomes around Whitehouse Station sharing chimney chases. We plan the trip out from Bloomfield to sweep, inspect, and repair whatever kind of flue is on the property, plus the duct and dryer vent work that comes with a mixed housing stock like this one.

The short answer
In Readington Township we sweep and inspect both masonry and factory-built chimneys, reline and repair flues serving oil, gas, and propane appliances alike, and handle air duct and dryer vent cleaning for the township’s houses and townhome clusters.
What we find on Readington jobs
Readington is the one town in Hunterdon where we genuinely see every fuel type on the same route. Toward Whitehouse Station the housing runs newer and denser, with a real share of attached townhomes sharing chimney chases — one flue’s blockage can become two households’ problem. Head out past Centerville and Readington Village and the housing gets older and further apart, oil tanks and propane cages more common than a gas meter. About one in five households here still heats primarily on oil, and it is oil-fired systems venting into old, sometimes unlined masonry that give us the most work: acidic exhaust eating at the mortar from the inside, long before anything shows on the outside of the chimney. The township also carries nine separate historic districts, mostly clustered around its old rail villages, so a rebuild visible from the road is worth clearing with the township before the work starts. We schedule Readington visits as their own trip out from Bloomfield rather than folding them into a closer route.

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 Readington Township
Do you cover the whole township, including the smaller hamlets?
Yes. Readington Township runs from Whitehouse Station out through Centerville, Stanton, Three Bridges, and the smaller mill hamlets, and we cover the sweeping, inspection, and repair work across all of it. The housing type changes a lot from one end of the township to the other, which is exactly why we check the chimney and its fuel before quoting anything.
My house runs on oil. Does that change what a sweep looks like?
It changes what we look for more than what we do. An oil-fired appliance venting into a masonry flue produces acidic condensate, and over years that eats at the mortar between the tiles from the inside out, long before it shows on the face of the chimney. We check for that specifically on any Readington oil-heated home, alongside the usual creosote and blockage check.
We live in one of the historic hamlets. Does that affect chimney work?
Only work that changes how the chimney looks from the street. Sweeping, camera inspection, and lining a flue from the inside do not touch the exterior, so those go ahead as normal. A rebuild or a new cap that would change the stack’s appearance is worth checking with the township first, since Readington has several historic districts with their own review.
We’re in one of the townhomes near Whitehouse Station. Is our chimney different?
It can be. Attached homes built as a row often share a chimney chase between units, so a blocked or damaged flue on one side is not always only that owner’s problem. We run a camera down each flue separately to see which one is actually affected before recommending any repair, rather than guessing from which unit called first.
