Chimney and vent service in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City has two housing stocks living side by side. Almost three homes in ten were built in 1939 or earlier, and more than 23,000 have gone up since 2010, many in large new buildings. Which one you live in decides most of what your chimney or vent needs.
In brief
We inspect and repair masonry chimneys in the city's older rowhouses and clean dryer vents and air ducts across Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, Bergen-Lafayette, Greenville, Paulus Hook and Hamilton Park.
Brownstone chimneys and tower dryer vents
In the older parts of Jersey City, rowhouses and small walk-ups still carry their original masonry chimneys, often shared along a party wall, and many now vent gas appliances that replaced coal or oil long ago. Those chimneys need the usual masonry care, a sound crown, a cap, solid mortar at the top, and a liner sized for what it serves. The newer towers rarely have a residential chimney at all, and with almost a third of households on electric heat, the venting job there is the dryer and the duct system. Long dryer runs in apartments collect lint fast, and a run that is too long or crushed behind the machine is the common finding. We handle both kinds of building, and we tell you at the start which work your home actually 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 Jersey City homeowners ask us
Our brownstone shares a chimney with the house next door. Can you still work on it?
Yes. We inspect your flue and the shared stack and let you know if anything we find affects the neighbor's side too.
We live in a newer building with no chimney. Do you still have something to offer?
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning are the main venting jobs in newer apartments.
The fireplace in our rowhouse has not been used in years. Can it be brought back?
Often. We inspect the flue, damper and liner and tell you what it needs before the first fire.
Do you work in Journal Square and the Heights?
Yes, and throughout Jersey City.
