Expert Chimney Cleaning, Repairs, Rebuilds & Installation Services
Keeping your chimney in safe working order isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your home and your family. In New Jersey, the combination of snow, rain, humidity, and constant temperature swings can wear down chimneys faster than many homeowners realize.
Small cracks become water leaks, missing mortar becomes structural damage, and an unclean flue can quickly turn into a fire hazard.
At NJ Gold Star Construction, we help homeowners stay ahead of these problems with proactive chimney services designed to keep your chimney safe, efficient, and built to last.
We're local. We’re licensed. We’re experienced.
And we treat your home like it’s our own.

Why Chimney Maintenance Is Important in Every Home?
New Jersey weather is hard on chimneys. Brick expands in summer, contracts in winter, and absorbs moisture year-round. This creates the perfect environment for:
-
Chimney leaks
-
Cracked masonry
-
Deteriorated mortar joints
-
Rusted or damaged flashing
-
Blockages and creosote buildup
-
Chimney odor, drafts, or smoke issues
-
Structural weakening
Left unaddressed, these issues lead to bigger and more expensive repairs—and can compromise your home’s safety.
That’s why we strongly recommend addressing issues early, scheduling routine maintenance, and calling a professional the moment you notice leaks, odors, or unusual chimney performance.
Our Comprehensive Chimney Services
Below are the chimney services we offer to homeowners across Bergen County and South Jersey.
Chimney Cleaning
A dirty or blocked chimney is one of the leading causes of house fires.Creosote buildup, soot, debris, or even animal nests can restrict airflow and cause dangerous smoke or gases to enter your home.
Our Chimney Cleaning Includes:
-
Deep flue cleaning
-
Creosote removal
-
Smoke chamber cleaning
-
Chimney drafting test
-
Removal of debris, nests, and blockages
Clean chimneys work better, burn cleaner, and last longer. If you’ve noticed smoke coming back inside the home or strange smells near your fireplace, it’s time to schedule a cleaning.
Chimney Cap Installation & Replacement
A chimney cap helps keep out rain, animals, leaves, and debris. Without it, your chimney becomes vulnerable to water intrusion, drafts, and internal damage.
Benefits of a Chimney Cap:
-
Prevents rainwater from entering the flue
-
Stops birds, squirrels, and animals
-
Reduces downdrafts
-
Minimizes debris buildup
-
Extends chimney lifespan
We install durable, rust-resistant caps designed to withstand harsh New Jersey weather.

Our team repairs all types of chimney damage to prevent further deterioration.
Common Chimney Repairs We Handle:
-
Chimney leaks
-
Cracked bricks
-
Loose or missing mortar
-
Rusted flashing
-

-
Leaning or unstable chimney structures
If you’re dealing with a small leak or significant damage after a storm, we’ll diagnose the issue and repair it quickly and safely.
Chimney Rebuilds
Some chimneys are too damaged for simple repair—especially older homes in New Jersey. When that happens, a partial or full rebuild ensures long-term safety and stability.
We Offer:
-
Partial chimney rebuilds
-
Full chimney rebuilds
-
Historic chimney restoration
-
Brick and stone matching
-
Structural reinforcement
A properly rebuilt chimney increases home value, improves safety, and enhances curb appeal.
Chimney Liner Installation
A chimney liner protects the inside of your chimney from extreme heat and corrosive gases. A damaged or missing liner is a major safety hazard.
We Install and Replace Chimney Liners To:
-
Prevent house fires
-
Improve ventilation
-
Protect the chimney structure
-
Boost heating efficiency
-
Reduce carbon monoxide risks
If your chimney lacks a liner or has an old, cracked one, replacing it is one of the best investments you can make in your home’s safety.
Chase Cover Installation
A chase cover sits at the top of your chimney to prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering. Damaged or rusty chase covers are one of the most common causes of chimney leaks.
Our Chase Covers Are:
-
Rust-proof
-
Custom-fitted
-
Built from durable stainless steel or aluminum
-
Designed for long-term protection
A new chase cover instantly improves your chimney’s durability and prevents future water-related repairs.
