"Replacing our wood fireplace to a gas fireplace was the best decision we've made. Working with Jay and his team was an absolute pleasure as they were honest, punctual, and professional throughout the entire install process. Fast forward a year later, we just had our gas fireplace serviced. Again, on time, friendly and got the job done very quickly. I would highly recommend Central Jersey Fireplace Company to anyone who is seeking this type of work."

"I will definitely be using Chimney Pro's again, and would gladly recommend them. Tony and Eric were not only efficient, clean and professional, but they were very friendly. My chimney got serviced 4 days in advance of the original appt time, which was a plus for my family because we got to enjoy the fireplace earlier than expected. Dan explained in detail the work that will eventually need to be done on the exterior of my chimney, and answered all of my questions and concerns. These guys are great and the price for a cleaning is competitive and fair."

"Matt came out to assess the job the following day. He was punctual and friendly. He gave us a competitive price and they did a great job. They were ready to go the following week after being hired. Once finished they sent me pictures and a recording on how to work the damper. They installed a new damper and removed the old damper. They also worked on our chimney so that the fireplace was usable again. When they were done there was no mess, they left the space nice & clean. I hope to work with them again on future projects."

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
