A locally owned chimney and fireplace company built on straight answers and solid work.
StonePeak Chimney Services started in 2011 with one truck, one technician, and a handful of towns around Morristown. The idea behind it was simple: give homeowners a technician who tells them exactly what's going on with their chimney, in plain language, before recommending any work. Most people, it turns out, don't distrust chimney companies because the work is hard to explain — they distrust them because it rarely gets explained at all.
Growth came slowly and mostly through word of mouth. A homeowner in Madison would mention us to a neighbor after a fair estimate; a real estate agent would pass our number along after a pre-sale inspection went smoothly. By the time we expanded to cover the whole state, the crew had grown from one truck to a full team, but the estimate-before-work rule never changed.
What began as a sweeping-and-inspection outfit has grown into a full-service chimney, fireplace, and dryer vent company. Today the calendar is full mostly with repeat customers and referrals, which tells us the slow way of building a business — one honest visit at a time — was the right one.
"I got into this trade doing sweeps for a family friend's company in high school, and the thing that stuck with me wasn't the soot — it was how often people seemed surprised that we'd tell them the truth. That's the whole business model here. We're not trying to be the cheapest or the fastest. We're trying to be the company you don't have to double-check."
StonePeak opens with a single service vehicle, covering chimney sweeping and inspection for towns within about 30 minutes of Morristown.
Masonry repair, tuckpointing, and full chimney rebuilds are added as in-house services rather than being subcontracted out.
Fireplace installation and remodeling joins the service list, alongside gas media conversion for the growing number of gas insert requests.
Dryer vent cleaning is added after enough customers asked whether we handled it — turns out the two trades overlap more than people expect.
Service area expands to cover the entire state of New Jersey, with the same crew standards and pricing wherever a job is scheduled.
None of this is glamorous, but it's the difference between a fast job and a clean one:
A camera inspection finds a cracked liner tile that a flashlight and a mirror would miss entirely. Good equipment isn't optional here — it's what separates an accurate estimate from a guess.
We only recommend work your chimney actually needs, and we show you why with photos and clear explanations before any repair is approved.
Masonry and mechanical work done to last, whether it's a full sweep, a liner replacement, or a chimney rebuild from the roofline up.
Scheduled windows we actually keep, with a call ahead so you're never left waiting around on a Saturday morning.
Every StonePeak technician trains on nationally recognized chimney and venting safety standards before working solo, and continues training as codes and equipment change. New hires start by shadowing on real appointments — inspections, sweeps, and repairs — so the first chimney they explain to a homeowner isn't the first one they've actually looked at.
Training doesn't stop after onboarding. Liner materials, EPA-certified wood stove designs, and gas insert technology all change over time, and a technician who learned the trade a decade ago needs to keep up with what's different about a chimney built — or repaired — last year.
We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we're happy to provide proof of both before a job starts if you'd like to see it.
