Chimney Repair, Essex CountyYour Local Chimney Repair Team for Essex County, NJ
Essex County chimneys tend to fail the slow way. Mortar softens over many winters, a crown cracks, a few bricks near the top work loose, and one day there is a stain on the ceiling or a pile of grit in the firebox. Bloomfield, Belleville and Nutley all have roughly a third of their housing from before 1940, so most repairs we see are on chimneys that have simply worn out in places. We fix what is failing, explain what can wait and price it in writing before any work begins.

Chimney Repair for Essex County Homes
Bloomfield has about 38% of its housing units from before 1940, according to Census estimates. On chimneys that age the damage usually starts at the top, where the crown and the last few courses of brick take the most weather, so that is where we look first.
Newark's housing has a median year built of 1966, but about 24% of its units still date from before 1940. That spread means one block can need a rebuilt chimney top on a prewar house and only a new cap on a newer one, and we quote each job on its own.
We repair chimneys in Bloomfield, Belleville, Nutley, Newark and East Orange, along with the rest of the county.
