Chimney repair and sweeping in Paterson, NJ
Paterson's typical building is the small multi-family house. More than half its homes are in two to four unit buildings, the highest share of the three Passaic County cities we serve. About six in ten homes predate 1960 and roughly a third predate 1940, and Paterson also has a larger later wave of 1960s to 1980s housing than its neighbors.
In brief
We serve all of Paterson, from Eastside to Riverside, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair and liner work, plus dryer vent and duct cleaning in its two to four family buildings and apartment blocks.
What we run into in Paterson
Paterson is small multi-family housing first. More than half its units are in two to four unit buildings, through neighborhoods from Eastside and Totowa to Sandy Hill, Hillcrest, People's Park, Stoney Road and Riverside. About six in ten homes predate 1960 and roughly a third predate 1940, yet Paterson also has the largest share of 1960s to 1980s construction of the three cities, a later wave built over the older mill city. In a two to four unit building this age, one chimney or vent stack usually works for more than one household, so a blocked flue or a failed dryer vent rarely stays one tenant's problem. Gas heats close to eight in ten households, while 14.1 percent use electricity, and those units have no heating flue, which shifts our work there to ducts and dryer vents.

Paterson homeowners ask
Do you cover all of Paterson, including Eastside and Riverside?
Yes, the whole city, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair and liner work, plus dryer vent and duct cleaning. Tell us which section you are in when you call.
We own a two-family or four-family building. Do you handle shared chimneys?
Yes. In buildings that size a chimney or a dryer vent often serves several households, and we inspect and repair it at the building level.
Our unit has electric heat. Is there anything for you to check?
Usually the dryer vent and the ducts. If the building also has a fireplace or a gas water heater, its flue needs its own inspection.
Our building switched from oil to gas. Should the chimney be checked?
Yes. An oil flue is often too big for the gas boiler that replaced the old one, and the exhaust can condense inside it. A camera inspection shows where the liner stands.
