Fireplace, chase and dryer vent service in Bernards Township, NJ
More than half of all homes in Bernards Township, which includes Basking Ridge, went up in the 1980s and 1990s, many in planned communities such as The Hills, Spring Ridge and Society Hill. The real old masonry is limited to the Basking Ridge village core and the historic districts at Liberty Corner and Franklin Corners.
In brief
We inspect and service factory-built fireplaces, replace chase covers, clean dryer vents and air ducts, and repair older masonry chimneys in Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons and the township's townhouse communities.
Planned communities and their factory-built fireplaces
Developments like Spring Ridge and Society Hill, both from 1984, The Cedars from 1983 and Lord Stirling Village from 1981 were built with factory-built fireplaces and framed chases, and those systems are now more than 40 years old. The work on them is chase covers, firebox panels, chimney sections and the seals around them. With nearly half the township's homes attached or in multi-unit buildings, dryer exhaust often runs a long way to a roof or gable outlet, and the code length limit and its elbow deductions matter. Most homes converted to gas long ago, so when a furnace or water heater is replaced the installer's chimney verification is the main check on the flue. For the older houses in the Basking Ridge village and the Liberty Corner and Franklin Corners districts, we bring masonry skills and materials that suit the original construction.

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 Bernards Township homeowners ask us
We live in The Hills. Do you service the fireplaces there?
Yes. We inspect the firebox, the chimney sections and the chase cover and replace parts where the manufacturer still supplies them.
Our townhouse dryer vent goes out through the roof. Can you clean it?
Yes, from the dryer side and from the roof when it can be reached safely. Roof outlets often have a screen that clogs, which we check too.
Our home is in the Liberty Corner historic district. Can you repair the chimney?
Yes. We use materials that match the original masonry and check with the township about any review needed for visible work.
Is Basking Ridge part of Bernards Township?
Yes. Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner and Lyons are all in Bernards Township, and we cover all of them.
