Don't have one company build your fireplace and another clean it. Let Flue Tech Inc take care of you. We can do the intricate brick work your home requires. From tuck pointing to repairs to full builds, we do it all!Through our commitment, experience, and expertise Flue Tech, Inc. has established a business relationship with our clients that will last a lifetime. Flue Tech is family owned and operated and growing every day. We have the resources to work in the tri state area and still provide personal one on one service to our clients. Our techs attend chimney conferences whenever possible; where they obtain even more industry knowledge. Flue Tech is fully insured and licensed. Copies of both are always on board and ready for the clients inspection.

"Flue Tech installed a stainless steel chimney liner and an Enervex fan for the building which was required for proper draft. Although the fan required electrical wiring they refused to get involved with the wiring. We later had problems with the system and Flue Tech has blamed it on the electrician. They tell us it's a very simple fix but they again won't get involved with even low-voltage wiring! It is hugely disappointing that a so-called professional chimney installation company doesn't have the in-house capability of even doing low-voltage wiring for the systems they install. If a proper chimney installation requires the use of a fan, the company should have the capability of hooking it up. This would be the equivalent of a boiler company installing a new boiler for you and saying, "hey, we'll install the boiler, but you have to find your own guy to do the wiring for the boiler and all the controls and don't call us if you have a problem!" We would never use this company again on anything that required wiring of any kind."

"hired Chimney and Duct Experts based on their reviews on Google and Angis list to address a potential problem with a roof leak near my chimney. They quickly determined the flashing of my chimney was probably the reason for the leak, so they gave me a quote to rebuild the chimney flashing for $1300. They were able to do the work that same day, which I thought was great. However, the leak continued, so I moved on to roofers to help figure out the problem. I had 5 different roofing and repair companies come out, and each one said that the flashing on the chimney was terribly done, using a sealant instead of metal step flashing as is standard. I called back Chimney and Duct Experts and spoke with a supervisor. He agreed to come and redo the flashing, but insisted that fully rebuilding the flashing is only done when you get a new roof. Ended up being incorrectly done again, and I'll have to pay someone now to fix it correctly."
