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 Elizabeth, NJ
Elizabeth sits close enough to the water for that to show up in the work. Wind-driven rain arrives from directions the original flashing detail never anticipated, caps work loose more often than they do inland, and salt in the air is quietly unhelpful to anything steel on top of a stack.

The short answer
Brushwork, surveys, repairs and laundry ducts across Elizabeth — and in this town the findings are nearly always waiting at the top of the stack rather than inside it.
What we find on these jobs
The recurring finding here is at the top rather than inside. Caps that were fitted adequately for an inland roof work loose in wind that comes off the water, and once a cap has lifted the flue is an open shaft — which is how nesting material ends up blocking a chimney that was swept two seasons ago. Flashing is the second: the detail that sheds ordinary vertical rain perfectly well can be beaten by rain arriving nearly horizontally, and the leak then appears to come from nowhere because it only happens in particular weather. That timing is actually the diagnosis. Inside the house, the third recurring job is a dryer run to an exterior hood on an exposed elevation, where the flap gets held open by lint and then by wind, and birds find it.

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 Elizabeth
Our cap keeps blowing off. Is there a better one?
Yes — the difference is in how it is fixed rather than in the cap itself. A stainless cap sized to the flue and mechanically fastened rather than friction-fitted will stay on through weather that lifts the cheaper kind. It is a small job and it usually ends the problem permanently.
The leak only happens in certain storms. Why?
That timing is the clue and it points at flashing rather than at the crown. Flashing failures show up with wind-driven rain arriving from one particular direction; crown failures follow long soaking rain regardless of direction. Knowing which pattern you have narrows the job before anybody climbs anything.
Does being near the water actually change anything?
It changes how often the metal on top of a stack needs looking at. Salt in the air works on caps, on chase covers and on any exposed fastening, and a component that would last comfortably inland has a shorter life here. The masonry itself is much the same.
Something is nesting in our chimney.
That usually means the cap has gone or was never there. Clearing it and fitting a proper cap with mesh is one visit; leaving it means a blocked flue and, depending on the season, a legal question about when the nest can be moved. Ring and we will tell you where that stands.
