Chimney repair and sweeping in Bayonne, NJ
Bayonne is the Hudson County city where a house, and not an apartment building, is still the most common address. Just over half its homes are one or two family houses. Most heat with gas now, and much of the city was built from the 1940s through the 1960s, with Bergen Point and Uptown holding some of the oldest homes.
In brief
We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys in Bayonne and clean dryer vents and ducts, work that suits the city's mostly one and two family houses.
What we run into in Bayonne
Bayonne reads differently from the rest of Hudson County. More than half the homes are single or two-family houses, and the median home dates to 1954. Three in four households now heat with gas. When a mid-century house trades an oil boiler for a smaller gas unit, the old chimney ends up doing a job it was not built for, so on an older Bayonne street the first thing we check is whether the flue suits the appliance. In two-family houses one chimney often serves both units, and we confirm which flue vents which appliance before any work starts.

Bayonne homeowners ask
Are Bayonne chimneys mostly old brick?
It depends on the block. Bergen Point and Uptown have some of the oldest homes, from the 1940s and earlier, while other parts were built through the 1950s and 1960s. We look at the actual chimney on site.
Do you work on two-family houses?
Yes. Two-family houses are a large part of Bayonne. We confirm which flue serves which unit's appliance and check both sides, since one flue problem can affect both households.
We replaced our oil boiler with gas. Should the chimney be checked?
Yes. A flue built for oil is often too large for a modern gas boiler, and the exhaust can condense inside. If nobody checked the flue during the switch, it is worth an inspection.
Do you clean dryer vents in Bayonne?
Yes, on the same visit as the chimney if you like. In single and two-family houses the dryer run is usually short, but lint still builds up at the bends and the outside hood.
