If you’re seeing ceiling stains, smelling smoke in the house, or haven’t had your firebox opened since 2012, call us at (609) 657-3371. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Brick

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

A stainless steel liner is the right choice for many of Brick’s masonry chimneys, especially where the original clay tile liner has cracked from freeze-thaw stress or where Sandy-era water intrusion has compromised the flue. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless systems sized precisely to your appliance, with proper insulation to prevent condensation in Brick’s humid coastal environment. A typical stainless steel liner installation in Brick runs $2,200-$3,800 for a standard straight flue on a ranch or Cape Cod home.

Flexible Liner Installation

Flexible liners solve the offset and bend problems common in Brick’s older homes, where chimneys were often built with one or more turns to accommodate the low-pitch roofs of 1960s and 1970s construction. Our crew carries DuraFlex flexible stainless liners that navigate these offsets without breaking the flue’s draft capacity. This matters in Brick because many factory-built fireplaces converted to year-round use need the draft performance a flexible liner restores, especially when the original metal chase has corroded from salt air exposure. Flexible liner work in Brick typically falls between $2,400-$4,200.

Liner Replacement

Liner replacement becomes necessary when the existing flue is cracked, glazed with third-degree creosote, or corroded beyond safe operation. In Brick, we replace liners damaged by a combination of factors: Sandy-era water intrusion that was never fully addressed, salt-air corrosion of metal components, and the accelerated creosote buildup from factory-built fireplaces now burning full heating seasons. We remove the damaged liner, inspect the smoke chamber and firebox with our camera system, and install a new system with materials from HeatShield, Gelco, or DuraFlex depending on your chimney’s specific condition. Liner replacement in Brick generally costs $1,800-$4,500.

Partial Rebuild

Partial rebuilds target the most storm-vulnerable components of your Brick chimney: the crown, the upper courses of brick, the chase cover, and the flashing assembly. This is often the right approach when the lower chimney structure is sound but wind-driven rain off Barnegat Bay has spalled the crown, displaced the cap, or compromised the mortar joints above the roofline. We see this constantly on lagoon-side homes in Shore Acres and bay-front properties near Windward Beach. A partial rebuild in Brick typically runs $3,200-$5,500, far less than full reconstruction, and preserves the sound lower structure while addressing the water entry points that destroy liners from the outside in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Brick

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - the brands that hold up in Brick’s punishing coastal environment. Because we stock these components and coordinate dispatch from our metro-area office, Brick homeowners aren’t waiting weeks for special orders. When we find a failed chase cover or cracked liner during your inspection, we can often complete the repair same visit. That’s the difference between a company that plans to be in town in thirty more years and one that might not answer the phone next season.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Brick Homes

• Spalled crowns and displaced caps from wind-driven rain. The exposed position of many Brick homes along Barnegat Bay and the Metedeconk River means nor’easters drive water directly into chimney assemblies. We regularly find crowns cracked and caps blown loose on properties from Shore Acres to the Windward Beach section, with water then running down the flue to rust dampers and degrade liners.
• Flashing failures from Sandy-era damage showing up as ceiling stains. Hurricane Sandy compromised chimney flashing across Brick’s low-lying neighborhoods, and many repairs addressed only the visible roof damage. Years later, slow water intrusion through degraded flashing appears as stains on interior ceilings, especially on Cape Cod homes with sidewall chimney placements where the flashing geometry is already complex.
• Factory-built fireplaces pushed past their design limits. Brick’s stock of 1960s-1980s vacation homes, including large 55+ communities like Leisure Village, contains thousands of zero-clearance metal fireplaces built for occasional seasonal use. Converted to year-round occupancy after Sandy, these units generate creosote volumes their original liners and combustion chambers were never designed to handle. We find third-degree creosote glaze and cracked metal liners routinely.
• Salt-air corrosion of metal chase components. The salt-laden air off Barnegat Bay pits metal chase covers, rusts factory-built fireboxes, and degrades damper mechanisms far faster than inland Ocean County towns experience. This isn’t a maintenance issue; it’s a geography issue, and it demands materials selected for coastal durability.
