They took the time to explain how my gas fireplace works and how to use it properly and efficiently. They truly went above and beyond. They carefully laid down tarps to protect my home and keep everything spotless while they worked, and when they were finished, my fireplace looked BRAND NEW! The difference was incredible. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their honesty. There was absolutely no attempt to upsell me or convince me that I needed anything unnecessary. Matthew and Scott were genuine, knowledgeable, honest, and just genuinely nice people to have in my home. I will always use Central Jersey Fireplace for any of my future fireplace needs. They have absolutely earned my trust and my business. Their service was truly outstanding from beginning to end, and I'm so grateful for the time, care, and genuine kindness they showed me.

I'm very happy I chose Central Jersey Masonry and Chimney for our factory fireplace replacement…read more We knew it was time replace our unit and upon inspection, owner Mike verified we had a rust issue that was far advanced than we feared. Fortunately it was his experience that steered us to a unit that was likely in stock and would prevent an extended back-order waiting period. Once the unit arrived, his team was immediately dispatched in full protective gear for the install. However, it was once the install was completed we realized we chose the right contractor. A small install hiccup brought Mike himself to our home at 8:00 at night to correct. THAT'S what you expect from a top caliber company. Something you really don't see in contractors these days. You won't go wrong with this crew!

For years, I struggled with severe backdraft issues that made it impossible to use. Despite having several other chimney repair companies inspect it, no one could identify the problem. When the team from The Woodstove and Fireplace Center came to clean my chimney, they took the time to troubleshoot the issue thoroughly and offered clear, practical recommendations. A few weeks later, they installed a new cap/damper combination and a smoke guard -- and now my fireplace works perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased with the results or their professionalism.

After having roof work done by a roof contractor I discovered a leak in my ceiling by the chimney…read morechase where it penetrates up and out the roof. Calling back the original roof contractor and informing them of the leak they said I needed to replace the siding of the house in the area of the chimney chase at the tune of $4000!! I then began calling other various contractors for this repair and was told all kinds of BS, from having to rebuild the chimney chase, having to wait as they were too busy, too cold (it was December) and told to wait until spring, etc. It was a bad leak and causing damage to my home not to mention the stress caused on me being at the mercy of contractors. So... I kept on searching contractors and came across Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep during I'm sure their busiest time of the year like everyone else's. However Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep promptly returned my call, took my information, promptly came to measure the chimney chase and came back with a reasonable price and did not take advantage of my situation! I scheduled the job with Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep and could not be happier with the quick prompt service and results that were received! It has been a full 2 months with some heavy gusty rains and no leak so this job was given the test of time! There is barely any worse feeling than being at the mercy of contractors when you have a situation that needs to be correctly fixed in a timely matter and not at a contractor's convenience. Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep not only fixed my chimney leak but relieved the awful stress on me from the start with their integrity, price, answering all my questions, and all the way to the finish product which looks great too! I highly recommend Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep and will definitely use again!!

Extensive explanation of the process of the chimney inspection. Tom is very knowledgable and came with the right tools for the job. As he was performing the internal flue inspection with a camera he showed and explained what potential issues he looks for. 2. After Tom completed the cleaning, she show us all the flammable debris that was removed. Much more than I had expected. 3. Walking tarps were placed to ensure there would be no dirt tracked on the rugs and hardwood floors. In addition, Tom for slip-on "booties" worn while working on the house. 4. Very good communications.. throughout the process. I received several email and phone communications in response to several questions I had about the inspection process. I also received a confirmation call from him the day before the service. 5. Function...My appointment was for 1:30PM...he was at the door a few minutes before. Summary: IMHO, I don't think anyone that uses Costal Chimney would be disappointed in the least based on my experience. RP, Colts Neck, NJ

I was asked to do a 75% deposit back in Nov 2025 to be able to rush the fireplace for a Christmas install. After i made the deposit communication nearly disappeared. I had to physically show up to their showroom to get answers. Christmas install never happened. They promised January install, again, did not happen. They offered a discount for the one last chance on doing the "right thing" we gave them the benefit of the doubt and agreed to a February install... then again, no show no call! After that, i was promised a full refund within a week. No refund within the week occurred, after sending a certified letter, they returned half of the deposit... We're in April and a significant balance is still outstanding! Despite multiple follow-ups and patience on my end, this has not been resolved. I've now had to move forward with formal action to recover the remaining funds. I'm sharing this so others are aware and in hopes the company will resolve the matter promptly.
