New chimney installation
in New Jersey

Start with the intended appliance

A new chimney is part of a planned heating or fireplace system. The appliance, fuel and installation instructions help establish the venting requirements. Tell us whether the project is new construction, an addition or a change to an existing home, and provide plans or equipment information where available.

Review the building and proposed route

The location, support, route through the building and roof termination affect the installation. A masonry chimney and a listed factory-built system have different construction requirements. The proposal should identify the system being discussed and the responsibilities of the parties involved instead of using chimney as a generic product label.

Coordinate the roof and adjoining construction

A new roof penetration needs a coordinated water-management detail and suitable connections to the surrounding materials. Discuss flashing, exterior finishes, access and whether additional framing or other building work is included. If an existing chimney remains, explain its role and whether it needs a separate condition assessment.

Establish responsibilities before work starts

Agree the design and installation scope, project-specific approvals and who handles any required inspections. Product documentation, installation records and operating information should be retained at handover. The appliance and proposed system must be confirmed before scheduling or promising a fixed installation price.
