What we run into in Bergen County
Bergen County is large and varied. Of its 369,613 housing units, just over half are single-family detached, and the rest are two-family houses, garden apartments and some high-rises. New Jersey handles building and chimney permits town by town, so each of Bergen's 70 municipalities has its own construction office and its own forms for a chimney rebuild or a new liner. Fair Lawn, the town with its own page here, is a mid-century borough where the median home dates to 1953 and about 73 percent of the housing predates 1960. If you live elsewhere in Bergen County, call and ask, since we can schedule visits across the county.

Bergen County homeowners ask
Do you serve all of Bergen County?
We book Bergen County visits ahead of time. Fair Lawn has its own page here, and for another Bergen town, call with the address and we will set up a date.
Why does the permit process change from town to town?
New Jersey enforces its construction code locally, so each of Bergen County's 70 towns runs its own building department with its own forms. Fair Lawn, for example, has a chimney form separate from its general permit application.
Do you still see oil-heated homes in Bergen County?
A few. About 3.6 percent of households burn fuel oil. In older homes the more common issue is a flue built for oil that now vents a gas appliance.
