Matts Brothers Chimney was founded by two brothers who grew up doing masonry work alongside their father in northern New Jersey. What started as a small family operation focused on brick repair gradually evolved into a full-service chimney company as the brothers recognized how underserved older-home owners were — particularly in communities like Bordentown, where much of the housing stock predates modern chimney safety standards. Over the years, the company built a reputation not by advertising aggressively, but by doing careful work on difficult old chimneys and letting satisfied customers speak for them. The Bordentown area became a natural fit: a community that takes pride in preserving its historic homes and expects the craftspeople it hires to share that same care and attention to detail.
Today, Matts Brothers Chimney operates throughout Burlington County and the surrounding region with a full team of licensed, trained technicians who share the founders' commitment to masonry quality and honest client relationships. Our technical capabilities include everything from a standard annual sweep to full liner replacements, smoke-chamber rebuilds, and masonry restoration on chimneys that date back to the 1800s. We invest in professional-grade camera inspection equipment, industry training through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, and continuing education on the specific materials and building methods used in New Jersey's historic residential construction. Every member of our crew understands that working on an older home means working carefully, working precisely, and respecting what the original builders put in place.
We believe that a properly maintained chimney is not a luxury — it's a fundamental part of home safety, especially in an older house where the original construction may have never fully met even the standards of its own era. Bordentown homeowners trust us because we tell the truth: we don't manufacture urgency where none exists, and we don't minimize problems that genuinely need attention. When we say a liner needs replacement, we show you the camera footage. When we say tuckpointing can wait a season, we explain why. That transparency, combined with real masonry expertise and a fast, professional service experience, is what keeps our clients coming back year after year and referring their neighbors without hesitation.
