Chimney repair and sweeping in Morris County, NJ

What we find on Morris County jobs

Morris County's housing runs heavily postwar. The single biggest construction decade countywide is the 1960s, and the 1950s through the 1970s combined cover better than four in ten homes, per Census figures, the ranch-and-split-level build-out that came with single-flue masonry or factory-built chimneys as standard practice. Utility gas heats close to three-quarters of occupied homes today, but fuel oil has not disappeared: it is still the primary heat in roughly one in eight households, and each of those has a flue doing real daily work rather than a decorative one. About one in seven homes countywide predates 1940, an older cohort mixed in among the postwar majority rather than clustered in one corner of the county. In Parsippany-Troy Hills, the township we serve directly, that pattern shows up at the neighborhood level: postwar ranches through Lake Hiawatha and Troy Hills, working oil systems scattered among them, garden-apartment buildings that need landlord-level service, and a small nineteenth-century pocket at Mount Tabor with its own older, smaller flues. Any liner or rebuild permit work also falls under New Jersey's current one- and two-family subcode, the 2024 IRC.
