Dryer vent, duct and chimney service in Hoboken, NJ
Hoboken mixes a prewar rowhouse core with a wave of newer condos, and more than a fifth of its homes went up between 2000 and 2009. Almost four households in ten heat with electricity, the highest share of the Hudson County towns we cover, and fuel oil has all but disappeared.
In brief
We clean dryer vents and air ducts in Hoboken apartments and condos, and we inspect and repair chimneys in the older rowhouses and walk-ups, Uptown, Downtown, along the Waterfront and in Southwest Hoboken.
Walk-ups, condos and the vents between them
Very few Hoboken homes are single-family houses, so the chimney in a rowhouse or walk-up usually serves the building, often a single boiler flue or a few fireplace flues that may not have been used in years. When one of those fireplaces is brought back into service, it needs a full inspection first, from the damper to the cap. The more common job is the dryer vent. In condos and apartments, dryer ducts often run through walls and ceilings to a distant outlet, and lint builds up where the run bends. We clean the full run and check the outlet flap. With so many households on electric heat, duct cleaning and dryer vents are often the only venting a Hoboken apartment needs.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
Polishing the ceramic glass and unblocking the air-wash intake passages turned our heavily used woodstove back into an effective heat source.
Static-cling barriers locked the aperture tight, so that high soot agitation inside the top flue never wandered into the next-door kitchen.
The entire sweep was completed with engineering precision and purity never before witnessed from meticulous pre-setup to HD inside camera feature.
What Hoboken homeowners ask us
Our condo dryer vent exits far from the laundry closet. Can you reach it?
Yes. We clean from the dryer end and from the outlet when it can be reached, and we tell you if the run is longer than it should be.
We want to use the fireplace in our rowhouse again. Where do we start?
With an inspection. We check the flue, the damper, the liner and the top of the chimney before you light the first fire.
Does our building's chimney serve every unit?
Sometimes. Older walk-ups often have one boiler flue for the building and separate fireplace flues. We map which is which.
Do you work along the waterfront?
Yes, along the Waterfront and throughout Hoboken.
