If you’re hiring a chimney sweep in Bridgeton, ‘licensed and insured’ isn’t just a checkbox, it’s your first line of defense against shoddy work or hidden costs. Andrews Brothers Chimney carries full NJ licensing, liability coverage, and a 20-year track record serving Bridgeton homes. Here’s what to verify before booking, and why we go further than most.
Myth: All ‘licensed’ chimney sweeps in Bridgeton follow the same rules
In New Jersey, chimney sweep licenses aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some ‘licensed’ crews in Bridgeton might only handle basic sweeps, while others, like Andrews Brothers Chimney, are certified for full chimney inspections, liner repairs, and even masonry work /services/. Before booking, ask: Does their license cover your chimney’s specific issues? For example, if your Bridgeton home’s chimney has cracks or a failing crown, a ‘general’ license won’t cut it. We’re licensed for all services, so you’re covered whether it’s a routine sweep or a full repair /about/. Read up on our full list of services.
Fact: Insurance Should Cover Your Home, Not Just the Sweep’s Truck
A ‘certificate of insurance’ isn’t enough, verify it’s active and names your home as protected. Many Bridgeton sweeps skimp on liability limits, leaving you liable if damage occurs. Andrews Brothers Chimney carries $2 million in coverage, so if our crew accidentally damages your chimney (or yours is already compromised), repairs are on us. Pro tip: Ask for the insurance agent’s contact. If they hesitate, walk away. Also, we offer free estimates upfront, no surprises when the crew arrives /contact/. Read up on contact the office.
