PB Chimney Services provides chimney inspections, cleaning, crown repair, repointing, caps and relining at homes in Upper Saddle River, Bergen County. Describe your chimney concern and the fireplace or heating appliance it serves. We explain the proposed visit and provide a written scope for the work.
We travel to properties in Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 for chimney service. Include the town and ZIP code when requesting an estimate so we can confirm the address, roof-access needs and appointment availability. Upper Saddle River and Saddle River are separate boroughs, so the municipality matters when planning the visit and checking local requirements.
You can call, text or use the estimate form below. Existing photos taken from a safe location and a previous inspection report can help explain the concern. Tell us about any roof-access restrictions and whether the chimney serves a wood-burning fireplace, furnace, boiler or water heater. Your requested day is confirmed separately after we review the inquiry.
Upper Saddle River Building Department: permits and local requirements ↗
For an Upper Saddle River service visit, tell us how many fireplaces and heating appliances use the chimney. Separate flues within one chimney can have different maintenance and repair needs. Roof pitch, chimney height, access around the property and the condition of the crown and mortar joints also affect the proposed work. We document accessible conditions and identify which parts of the system are included in the estimate.
Cleaning, masonry repairs and liner installation address different parts of the system. The estimate identifies the inspected condition, proposed materials and work included, so you can understand the recommendation before approving it.
For a wood-burning fireplace or heating-appliance chimney, tell us how it is used and when it was last serviced. We discuss the appropriate inspection and cleaning scope, including accessible flue conditions, deposits and visible exterior concerns.
Compare chimney inspection options ↗Cracks, worn surfaces and separation around flue tiles call for a closer look at the chimney crown. We review the existing top and explain the repair or replacement options appropriate to its condition, with cap and brickwork repairs identified separately.
Explore crown repair and replacement ↗Open mortar joints, loose bricks and deteriorated masonry need a scope based on the affected area. We distinguish repointing from brick replacement or rebuilding and document the chimney sections included in the proposal.
See chimney masonry and pointing services ↗A missing, damaged or rusted cap is assessed alongside the flue openings and mounting surfaces. Single-flue and multi-flue options are measured for the existing chimney. For a framed chase, we identify whether the metal chase cover also needs attention.
Review chimney cap installation ↗Liner selection depends on the appliance, fuel, venting arrangement, chimney height and flue condition. We evaluate furnace, boiler, water-heater and wood-burning fireplace chimneys and explain the relining work proposed for the specific system.
Learn about chimney relining ↗Tell us where dampness or staining appears and whether it follows rain. We review the crown, caps, mortar joints, flashing and adjacent roof details to identify the observed defects and the repairs included in the estimate.
See chimney leak evaluation and repairs ↗This documented Clifton project shows crown repair and repointing, two of the services available to Upper Saddle River homeowners. The photos show the chimney top and upper brick joints before and after the work at that Clifton property.

Describe the concern, identify the fireplace or heating appliance if you know it, and mention the number of chimneys or flues involved. Share any existing photos or inspection report and note access restrictions. Pricing depends on the observed condition, roof access, chimney height, materials and extent of work; the written scope sets out what is included.
Yes, when the inspection shows both are appropriate. Crown work addresses the top surface around the flues; repointing addresses affected mortar joints in the masonry. We identify each part of the proposed repair separately so you know which surfaces and joints are included.
No. A liner recommendation follows an evaluation of the existing flue and connected equipment. The chimney's exterior alone does not establish the need for relining. Tell us about any appliance changes or previous inspection findings so those can be considered in the evaluation.
Yes. Let us know about each fireplace or appliance when requesting service. Flues within the same chimney can serve different systems, so the inspection and repair scope should identify which flues and connections are included.
