Chimney Installation in New Jersey
A new chimney is really three jobs at once: the stack, the liner sized to whatever burns at the bottom of it, and the hole it makes in your roof. Boundless Roof Repair & Replacement builds and installs chimneys in New Jersey and roofs the same houses, so the flashing where the two meet is ours to get right. Working from Rockaway since 2012.

Chimney Installation in New Jersey: What the Job Involves
Most chimney installations in New Jersey fall into one of three cases: a new build or addition that needs a stack from the footing up; a wood stove or insert going into a house that never had one; or an appliance change – a new high-efficiency boiler, say – that leaves the existing flue oversized and needing a new liner. The route to each is different, and we will tell you which one you are in before quoting.
Chimney Design and Planning
Design and planning: flue size matched to the appliance’s output, stack height set so the top clears the roof by the required margin, and the route through floors and roof planned before anything is built. We also confirm with your municipal construction office whether a permit is needed – in most New Jersey towns, a new chimney does.
Chimney Construction
Construction: block or brick on a proper footing, a poured concrete crown with a drip edge rather than a smear of mortar, and a stainless cap. The crown is the part that fails first on the chimneys we are called out to repair, so it is the part we build carefully.
Chimney Cap Installation
Cap: stainless steel, sized to the flue, with a mesh spark arrestor to keep rain, leaves, squirrels and chimney swifts out. ‘Chimney cap installation’ and ‘chimney cap replacement’ together draw 340 searches a month in New Jersey and we fit both on existing chimneys as well as new ones.
Chimney Sleeve Installation
Liner: stainless steel flexible or rigid liner sized to the appliance and insulated where the code requires it, or a clay tile liner on a traditional masonry stack. An oversized flue lets flue gases cool and condense – which is what cracks tiles and rusts liners – so the size matters more than the material.
Chimney Flue Installation
Flue and roof penetration: the flue carries the combustion gases out; the point where it passes the roof is where the leaks start. We fit step and counter-flashing and a proper cricket on the upslope side of a wide chimney, then shingle back into it – the same crew, on the same day, with no argument about whose leak it is afterwards.
Chimney Fans and Draft Problems
Where a chimney is short, sheltered by a taller part of the roof, or serving a fireplace in a tightly sealed modern house, it may not draw properly no matter how clean it is. A chimney fan fitted at the top solves it, but so sometimes does raising the stack or adding a make-up air vent – and those are cheaper. We look at why the draft is poor before selling you a fan.

Yes, it is possible to add a chimney to an existing house.

The best place to put a chimney in a house will depend on several factors, including the layout of the house, the location of existing fireplaces or heating appliances, and local building codes. In general, chimneys should be placed on the highest part of the house and should be located away from trees, overhanging branches, and other potential fire hazards. Our professional team at Boundless Roof Repair & Replacement can help you determine the best location for your chimney and ensure that it meets all safety requirements.
The rule builders work to is three feet above the point where it passes through the roof, and two feet higher than anything within ten feet of it – the ‘3-2-10’ rule in the International Residential Code that New Jersey adopts. A chimney that only just meets it often still draws badly if a taller roof or a mature tree sits nearby, so we look at the whole roofline before setting the height.
The chimney outlet, or chimney cap, should be placed at the top of the chimney to allow for proper ventilation and to prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering the chimney. The outlet should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and should be positioned to ensure that it does not interfere with the draft of the chimney. For expert installation of your chimney outlet, trust the professionals at Boundless Roof Repair & Replacement.
