"Steve did an amazing job, I recently bought the home and the wood burning fireplace was inoperable, Steve removed all of it, installed a new gas fireplace which included the need to run a new gas line and then installed new granite and built a brand new mantle. I have a lot of experience in construction and I will tell you he was incredibly professional and the work quality was exceptional"
"I am extremely happy with the experience I had working with the team at Central Jersey Fireplace. They listened to what we wanted and responded promptly. They stayed on schedule and communicated with us throughout the project. I would definitely use Jay and his team again!"
"Albert gave me good impression immediately when he took off his work boots before coming in the house to check the fireplace/chimney. He didn't hesitate going up on the roof, unlike other company said they'll find out when they come to clean the chimney. Albert took pictures and explained to me repairs were needed. He answered my husband's questions promptly before we contracted him to do the work. Of course, we won't know for sure how good the flashing repair was until next rain/snow storm. By the way he offered to clean my stuck up gutters while he was up on the roof and later repaired my disconnected down-spout, I have confidence in his quality of work."
"Chimney was falling apart because of aging and we had those guys taking care of. I can't believe how fast they finished and in every step they were so good at it. Now im safe thanks to them. Would recommend them"

"Gothic completed multi-faceted work including removal of chimney, replace framing and roofing along with building a new gas fireplace bump out where the old chimney was. After removal and disposal of the old brick and block chimney Gothic replaced water damaged structural members, replaced sheathing on both the wall and roof and framed and sheathed a new gas fireplace insert bump out. Gothic resided the new bump out matching the old vinyl siding perfectly, installed asphalt shingles on the repaired roof section, again matching the old work perfectly. All work was permitted and passed inspection with no issues, and they removed all the construction debris and cleaned the area such that I had no cleanup to do. I will be hiring them again for future work."
"Matt came out to assess the job the following day. He was punctual and friendly. He gave us a competitive price and they did a great job. They were ready to go the following week after being hired. Once finished they sent me pictures and a recording on how to work the damper. They installed a new damper and removed the old damper. They also worked on our chimney so that the fireplace was usable again. When they were done there was no mess, they left the space nice & clean. I hope to work with them again on future projects."
Removing and demolishing a fireplace is extremely labor intensive work that also takes a long time. You need to use brute strength to break apart the brick and masonry, and carry the debris to a dumpster. Depending on the size of the structure, you may need multiple days to fully remove it. After removal, you need to determine how you will repair the wall that held the fireplace, which can also be quite time consuming and challenging.
The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.
One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote—a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar—it’s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.
Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.
