We are based right here in Linden and work Union County every week. You are dealing with a real local crew that has to live with its reputation, not a franchise call center routing your job to a stranger.
Sweep, inspection, cap, crown, liner, or masonry repair — one crew handles all of it. You are not stitching together separate contractors for a job that should be one.
When you call, we figure out what your chimney actually needs rather than booking the most expensive service by default.
Our crew shows up with everything to handle the job in one trip wherever possible, so you are not scheduling three visits for one chimney.
We protect your floors and furnishings, run containment for dust, and treat your home like we would want ours treated.
You get documentation and an honest assessment at the end — what we found, what we did, and an honest interval for the next visit.

Trust is the whole game in chimney work, because almost everything we inspect is somewhere a homeowner can never see. That is exactly why Lopez Brothers Chimney documents everything with a camera and hands you the footage. You should never have to take a sweep's word that your flue is cracked or your crown is failing — you should be able to look at the picture and decide for yourself. That is how we operate on every Linden job.
Because we are based right here and work Linden and Union County every week, we know the local chimneys: how the older masonry was built, which crowns were poured too thin, where flashing tends to fail on the rooflines common in these neighborhoods. That local knowledge means a faster, more accurate diagnosis and a repair scoped to what your specific chimney actually needs.
A chimney's whole purpose is to carry fire safely, and when it stops doing that, the consequences are serious. Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires. A failed liner can let a fire spread into the walls. A blocked or downdrafting flue can send carbon monoxide into the home. We take these risks seriously because the homeowners we serve are living with the results, and a clean, sound chimney is what keeps a fire where it belongs.
The "once a year or else" line is marketing, not code. Here is the honest answer for Linden fireplace owners, based on how much and what you burn.

Read more →That is exactly what an inspection answers. Once a year you get the flue looked at; if the buildup is approaching a quarter inch it is time, and if it is basically clean you can skip the sweep. We follow that standard rather than selling a sweep on a calendar.
There is no flat "$99 special" gimmick here — that pricing usually hides the real cost. A sweep is priced fairly and up front; repairs are quoted in writing after an on-site look. You will know the price before we begin work on your Linden chimney.
It matters because it signals proper training rather than a coupon outfit with a brush. What matters as much is how we work: photos and camera footage on every inspection, honest grading on every sweep, and written quotes before any repair.
Sweeps, camera inspections, repairs, caps, crowns, and liners. We cover the full chimney system, which means a leak or a draft problem gets diagnosed and fixed by the same crew rather than handed off. Call 640-214-7290 and tell us what you are seeing.
One call reaches a real Linden chimney crew — HEPA-clean sweeps, camera inspections, and masonry repair, with up-front quotes and no manufactured urgency.
