Old housing stock and hard winters are rough on New Jersey chimneys — cracked crowns, worn liners, dryer vents packed with lint. We've been climbing onto roofs to deal with it since 2011, and we still write every estimate down before anyone touches a tool.
StonePeak started in 2011 with one truck, one guy, and a handful of towns around Morristown. The idea was simple then and it still is now: tell the homeowner exactly what's going on before recommending any work, not after.
We're still not the biggest chimney company in New Jersey. Growing slow through referrals instead of ad spend meant turning down some jobs early on just to keep the estimate-before-work rule intact. It's also why most of our calendar these days is repeat customers and word of mouth, not search ads.
Most calls start with one of these six. If what you need doesn't fit neatly into a category, call anyway — we'll figure it out on-site.
Creosote and soot removal to reduce fire risk and keep the system drafting properly. Once a year for wood-burning setups, roughly.
Level 1–3 inspections that catch a liner crack or a flashing gap while it's still a cheap fix, not a winter emergency.
Tuckpointing, crown repair, masonry restoration. We stop freeze-thaw cracking before it turns into a structural problem.
Sized correctly for whatever's actually venting through it — cap and liner installation that keeps out rain, animals, and debris.
Cleaning, repair, gas media, remodeling. Covers an occasional-use firebox and a daily-use insert about equally well.
Your dryer is probably working harder than it should. Clearing lint and debris cuts drying time and lowers fire risk.
Chimney care isn't a once-a-year event so much as a rhythm that follows the weather. Here's roughly how that rhythm breaks down.
The lead-up to heating season is when we're busiest for a reason — a sweep and Level 1 inspection before the first fire clears out last year's creosote and catches summer weather damage early.
This is when smoky rooms, poor draft, and drafty dampers show up. If something feels off mid-season, don't wait for spring — a mid-winter check-up is common and worth it.
Freeze-thaw cycles do their worst damage over winter, and spring is when cracked crowns, loosened flashing, and spalling brick become visible. It's the best time to schedule masonry repair before summer storms.
Dry weather is ideal for applying waterproofing sealant, and it's a good stretch to get dryer vent cleaning done before humid air makes lint compact even faster.
Call, or request an appointment online. Tell us what's going on, or ask for a general inspection if you're not sure.
We confirm your appointment window within one business day and call ahead before the technician arrives.
You get a clear explanation of what we find, with photos, and a written estimate before any repair work begins.
Most sweeps, inspections, and repairs are completed in a single visit, with the work area left clean when we leave.
A homeowner in Randolph told us once that we were the fourth chimney company she'd had out that year, and the first one to actually write anything down. That stuck with us. It's a low bar, honestly, but a lot of this trade doesn't clear it.
So the estimate is on paper before anyone touches a tool. If we find a cracked crown tile, you get a photo of it, not just a line item that says "crown repair." And when you call back with a question two days later, whoever answers actually knows your job.
"They found a cracked liner our last company missed, explained exactly what it meant, and had it fixed within the week. No pressure, no upsells."
For a wood-burning fireplace or stove used regularly, once a year is the standard recommendation. Occasional-use fireplaces can sometimes go longer between sweeps, but an annual inspection is still worth it to catch weather-related damage.
Yes. Gas fireplaces and inserts still need periodic cleaning, venting checks, and glass or gasket maintenance, even though they don't produce the same creosote buildup as wood-burning units.
Every job starts with a written estimate before we do any repair work. Sweeps and inspections are priced upfront when you schedule; any additional repair recommendations come with their own estimate for you to approve first.
Yes — our service area covers the entire state rather than a specific list of towns. See our Service Area page for details on chimney, fireplace, and dryer vent coverage.
Repair addresses specific damaged areas — a cracked crown, loose mortar joints, damaged flashing. A rebuild is for chimneys with structural issues serious enough that patching individual spots wouldn't hold up. We'll always recommend the less invasive option when it's actually sufficient.
For most work, an in-person look is what makes an estimate accurate — chimney issues are hard to price from a phone description alone. We keep the inspection visit itself priced upfront, so there's no surprise cost just to get a firm number.
