Your Local Fireplace Repair Team for Hudson County, NJ

Many Hudson County brownstones and older houses still have their original fireplaces, some closed off for decades and some in use every winter. Before you light one that has been sitting, it is worth knowing what shape it is in. Cracked firebrick, open joints, a rusted damper or a missing smoke shelf can all send heat or smoke where it should not go. Our crew repairs fireboxes with refractory mortar and firebrick, fits new dampers and gets an idle fireplace back to safe, working order.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Fireplace Repair for Hudson County Homes

Around 1900, Weehawken's large estates gave way to subdivisions such as Highwood Park and Clifton Park, where many private homes were built. Fireplaces in houses from that era often have original firebrick and dampers, and we repair or rebuild them to suit the house.

Harmon Cove in Secaucus was developed in the 1970s as a gated community of townhouses and high-rise apartments. Townhouses from that period may have fireplaces that see light use, and their dampers and firebox joints still wear and need a look before a busy season.

We repair fireplaces in Weehawken, Secaucus, Hoboken, Jersey City and Union City.

When to Call Us

Fireplace Repair Questions in Hudson County

Our brownstone fireplace was sealed off years ago. Can it be reopened?
Often it can. We open it up, inspect the firebox, damper and flue, and tell you what it needs to burn safely. Sometimes that is a sweep and a new damper, sometimes a liner as well.
Why does my fireplace in Secaucus smell like smoke in summer?
Humid air reacts with creosote left in the flue, and a downdraft carries the smell into the room. A sweep removes the deposits, and a top-sealing damper or a cap stops most of the air coming down.
Why does my fireplace smoke?
A closed or broken damper, a cold flue, a blocked flue or a firebox that is too big for the flue can all cause it. We find which one.
