Frank Walsh the owner of Walsh Chimney was probably the very best contractor I have ever hired. Personable, professional and knowledgeable. He's been in the business over 50 years. What set him apart from the other chimney contractors initially was he answers his phone and he calls you back!! He supplies all reviews of his work including NJ CONSUMER AFFAIRS. His crew were polite,personable,professional and extremely hard working. Frank gave a great price and successfully solved numerous problems encountered with job of which none were of his doing. Highly recommended

We have an old house and every one wanted to drop a new stainless steel flue in and he was the only one who would use the clay flue. He was nice and everything was good. We will use him again. He got all the permits for us.

They were great. We didn't even know they were there, they were so quiet and efficient. They made the furnace look great with the new vent pipes. Mr. Walsh also gave us some tips on how to save money and future problems. This company is really good. The only reason I took so long for the review is that I got the shingles. I would recommend Mr. Walsh and his crew with absolutely no hesitation.

Response from Walsh Chimney
"Dear Mr & Mrs [Member Name Removed], I just had a chance to read your review, I am sorry you feel the way you do...However I was called to your home, I performed a free inspection, I explained to you & showed you the dangerous violation your chimney had because of the In apt poor workmanship some other company had done to your chimney heating flue, by installing pieces of a wrong sized lining which was actually blocking the air flow from venting...Mrs [Member Name Removed]told me to do what had to be done, I wrote the contract, but before submitting the permit, she called & said her husband couldn't afford it his Dental Practice was down, I said if she liked talk to your husband & if he needed a no interest payment plan I would help, in the meantime I cancelled the contract, then 2 days later Mrs [Member Name Removed]called me back to do the work on the payment plan, I filed the permits and started the Emergency Chimney Relining, the local building inspector stopped by & my men showed him what was in the chimney previously, Mr [Member Name Removed]DDS called me two weeks later, very upset telling me he did not approve this work to be done & he wanted a breakdown of how much everything cost so he could figure what his price will be, I explained to him , I charged him the same price scale I've used with my customers over 30 years, he was very demanding & said he wouldn't pay, Mrs [Member Name Removed]has sent a few payments to date, most of all I'm happy I fixed there chimney & they are safe...to breakdown what every Relining job would cost would be more difficult than filling one tooth vs another Again sorry for the misunderstanding, I Remain Faithfully, Frank Walsh, owner, WALSH CHIMNEY"

Working with Walsh was a good experience from start to finish.  Frank was very professional and reviewed several options for the needed repairs.  The work was scheduled and performed in a timely manner.  The brick work looks terrific.  The crew was very responsive to questions and took their time to make sure we were happy with the results.

Frank Walsh came to take a look at the problem we had. (We noticed that our chimney above our roofline was crumbling.) He inspected our chimney from the bottom and fully explained what needed to be done (he recommended installing a new liner) and why (our flue tiles were askew, which could cause a blockage; our chimney was too wide in diameter for the BTUs put out by our boiler and hot water heater). He gave a detailed estimate as well.
We booked the job and the crew came as scheduled. They were efficient and cleaned up very well after the work was done. They explained what was being done along the way, including one slight deviation from what was originally explained. The crew was polite and professional.
I would recommend the company as well as use it again.

All levels of service were excellent.  From first meeting with Mr. Walsh himself, to scheduling the job and to finishing the job.  His workers were respectful of my furnishings and home and completed the job in record time.  They also kept me abreast of happenings during all phases of the job.
Excellent service.

I got three quotes and he worked with me on the price. He was very professional, we talked face to face for about 35 minutes for the estimate. I'm very happy with my experience with them.

Frank Walsh explained everything from start to Finnish. He worked with us during scheduling conflicts and made sure we were completely satisfied after the liner was installed. The first night we burned with the new stove we experienced a lot of smoke and called Frank and as it turns out the new stoves burn the oils off as they are brand new and he explained this to us. He was willing ready and able to send someone out if needed however the smell went away within 45 min or so. The team cleaned up left nothing behind they were very courteous. Highly recommend Frank and his team.

The crew was friendly and wanted to get the job done. Chimneys were filthy after not having been cleaned for years, and they look noticeably much cleaner. Chimney cleaning is a messy job. While the crew did lay down some tarp, we had quite a mess to clean after they left.

The guys showed up on Saturday morning at 11:00 am and worked until almost 10:00 pm to complete the job.  There was a lot of tile and debris that had to removed from the basement and they did a great job cleaning up.
