Call or text 973-663-6222 for a fast response. We are a family owned and operated business that has established a reputation for caring about the details of our services, our customers, and the joy that results from our work. As more and more information comes out about how harmful harsh chemicals can be, Heart and Saul has made every effort to find eco-friendly cleaning solutions. While several of the products we use are eco-friendly we can use entirely eco-friendly products, upon request. We understand how important your pets are to you and your family that is why we offer animal friendly cleaning services. In addition to being mindful that there are pets in the home, we will make sure your 4 legged friends have clean food and water dishes too.

"I have read the reviews about the complaints about the costs for Heart & Saul Cleaning, so let me tell you my story and you'll understand why they are absolutely amazing. Sadly, back in January 2018 my home burnt down, I lost everything! Living in a hotel for 2 months and then finally moving into a rental home in Lake Hoptacong. The place needed a deep clean, it was a total disgusting mess! Two older individuals lived there and I don't think they ever mopped, dusted, cleaned inside refrigerator or even cleaned the toilet, etc... It was horrible!!! I called Susan and she gave me rates and was able to clean the day I moved in. Sadly, the landlord went with another local cleaning service and they did nothing!!! She even yelled at my landlord that this place is a mess... OMG.. My OCD etc... she didn't even bring some cleaning supplies. My landlord was going out to the store to by more for them and at one point she even said... I can't reach it so its not getting cleaned. Can you even imagine!!! A cleaning service that didn't want to clean. They were even told before hand that the place needed a deep clean, from top to bottom, that it was a mess. Windows need to be washed and rugs steamed, refrigerator and oven cleaned. Everything from top to bottom. They didn't even clean the ceiling fans or mop the floors!! But they took $300 for nothing - NOTHING!!! Shame on you!! When I got to my new house... I cried hysterically!!! It was as a complete mess. There was so much cleaning to do and I could not handle it. I called Susan, the owner from Heart & Saul crying hysterically and she was here with her team within a few hours and they worked their butts off for the next 6 hours non-stop!! They went room to room and washed the walls down, cleaned the ceiling fans, washed all the windows, screens and frames, the cabinets inside and out and even got up on a ladder and cleaned on top of the cabinets. Every frame, molding, nook and cranny they cleaned. They even moved the refrigerator and cleaned behind it. They cleaned inside the kitchen cabinets, where everything falls in the back. My new home was starting to look like a real home!!! It was amazing!!! Susan and her team were my saving grace! I don't know what I would have done without them and all their hard work. There are no words to express how Thankful and Grateful I am to them! So Yeah, they charged a lot, but let me tell you - you get what you pay for and they are worth every single penny! So call them, they will get the job done! Trust me!!! I will upload some photos and you can see the cleaning in progress and all the dirt the other cleaning company left behind. Trust me - Call Heart & Saul"

AAA Apex Construction Corp. is a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity and treats your home as if it were our own. We offer a variety of quality building services such as roofing, siding, concrete and masonry work. We have many years of experience to give you confidence that we are your number one choice for your next residential or commercial project. You will find us to be competitively priced with close attention to the details of each and every project that we are involved with. Call us today for your free estimate!

"BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! Stay away and do your research! The majority of these reviews are fake. They run under multiple company names so that they are always the ones that populate your online search when looking for roofers. Scammers!! I had the same experience as another Google Reviewer. They gave us a written contract of $15000 to do the roof and garage. In absolute good faith we gave them a substantial down payment. Silly us. After removing the old roof, we were then told it would be an ADDITIONAL $15,000! There was NO MENTION of DOUBLING COSTS! To top it off, they expected the extra money that same day. As they continued on the roof, the house was in absolute shambles. They hired subcontractors to do the work and what a mess they made. There were shingles, nails, and debris everywhere. They did not install enough tarp to collect the debris. It was all over the front and back yard. Water bottles, food, and roof debris...not at all an acceptable way to leave a house in a pristine neighborhood, yet alone any! Both the front door and back door were blocked OVERNIGHT from the amount of debris left after the first day. Gutters were completely clogged and both cast iron pipes on the top of the roof were so damaged, that we had to call a plumber at 8pm after they left. Water wasn't draining anywhere in the house due to the careless work. The wood shingles on the house were wrecked. They carelessly pulled off the roof and with it, shingles from the house. You can clearly see nails under the roof panels. When we told the boss or owner (not even sure who it was, but he came in another truck and shirt displaying a different name) he finally showed up to take a look at the house (garage was never done) and claimed nothing was wrong. He started cursing and threatening us to pay more money and then said that we had no warranty on the roof anymore. His exact words "I hope the roof leaks all over." Do not trust these guys or the multiple companies they run. They completely took advantage of seniors."

FAQs for chimney cap installation and replacement projects in Paterson, NJ

A properly constructed chimney crown using quality materials can last 50 to 70 years with appropriate maintenance. Poorly constructed crowns might need replacement in 20 years or less. Weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and construction quality all affect longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can significantly extend your chimney crown's useful life and prevent more costly repairs down the road.

Homeowners' insurance covers sudden, accidental damage to chimney crowns from events like fallen trees or storm damage. However, gradual deterioration from age or lack of maintenance falls outside coverage parameters. Review your specific policy details, as coverage varies between insurers. Document any storm-related damage with photos and maintain records of regular chimney maintenance to support potential claims for weather-related damage.

The chimney crown forms the concrete or masonry covering across the entire top surface of your chimney, sloping away from the flue to direct water away. A chimney cap, by contrast, is a smaller component that fits directly over the flue opening to prevent animal entry and block sparks. While the cap protects just the flue opening, the crown safeguards the entire chimney structure from water penetration.

Professional chimney inspections should occur annually to evaluate crown condition along with other chimney components. Homeowners in regions with severe weather patterns or frequent freeze-thaw cycles might benefit from semi-annual inspections. A thorough inspection examines the crown for cracks, spalling, deteriorating mortar joints, and proper water drainage. Early detection of minor issues prevents them from developing into major structural problems.

A deteriorating chimney crown frequently leads to interior moisture problems. When water penetrates crown cracks, it can travel through the chimney structure into adjacent walls and ceilings. This moisture migration often results in stained drywall, peeling paint, and potential mold growth. Early intervention through crown repair or sealing prevents these secondary damages and protects your home's interior from water-related deterioration.
