We’ve been driving out to Voorhees since 1984, and we know the housing stock here - the 1970s colonials, the split-levels off Kresson Road, the ranches near the Voorhees Town Center - all built with factory-built prefab fireplaces that are now hitting their end-of-life all at once.
Call (855) 950-3861 any hour. A live person answers, and we’ll get a uniformed technician to your Voorhees home with a Level-2 camera inspection, photos you can see, and a plain-English verdict on whether your system needs relining, rebuilding, or replacement.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. of New York City Is Voorhees’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
We’ve worked on Voorhees chimneys for over 42 years. Frank Calucci started this company in 1984 with the belief that a homeowner deserves to see what the sweep sees - documented photos, a clear verdict, and a written price before any work begins. That hasn’t changed.
Voorhees homeowners know the difference between a craftsman and a salesman. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to explain exactly why a 1982 Majestic firebox can’t be patched and what a DuraFlex stainless liner installed through the existing chase will cost - no surprises on the bill. The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job: if it’s not right, we come back, in writing, no arguing.
Most Voorhees calls reach us within 30 minutes during business hours, and our trucks carry the liners, refractory panels, and chase covers needed to finish most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in one visit. We don’t subcontract. We don’t vanish. We’ve been here since before most of these prefab units were installed, and we plan to be here when the next generation needs us.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Voorhees
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
A stainless steel liner is the right fix for most Voorhees prefab chimneys where the original metal flue has corroded but the chase structure is sound. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless liners rated for wood, pellet, and gas applications, pulled through the existing chase from the roof down to the firebox collar. In Voorhees’s wood-framed chases clad in vinyl siding, this avoids the cost and disruption of tearing off exterior cladding. A typical stainless liner installation in Voorhees runs $2,800-$4,200 for a standard single-flue system, including the liner, insulation wrap, top plate, and connection fitting.
Flexible Liner for Offset Flues
Some Voorhees homes, particularly the split-levels built on sloped lots near the Cooper River watershed, have chimney chases with offsets or bends that a rigid liner can’t navigate. Flexible DuraFlex liners solve this - they snake through offsets while maintaining the same UL-listed stainless construction. We see this most often in 1970s ranches where the builder tucked the chase into a corner with a jog to miss a bearing wall. Flexible liner installation in Voorhees typically costs $3,200-$4,800 depending on length and access.
Liner Replacement for Condemned Fireboxes
Here’s the hard truth we deliver in Voorhees several times a month: the original prefab firebox is rusted through, and no liner alone will make it safe. The refractory panels are crumbling. The rear wall has pinholes. The unit is condemned for use. In these cases, we replace the entire factory-built system with a new UL-listed insert and a compatible stainless liner run through the existing chase. We serviced a colonial in the Echelon-area subdivision off Route 73 where the original 1982 Majestic firebox had rusted through the rear panel. The homeowner scheduled a routine cleaning but instead we installed a HeatShield stainless steel liner via the existing chase, restoring safe function without a full rebuild. Full liner-and-insert replacement in Voorhees ranges from $4,500-$6,800.
Partial and Full Chimney Rebuild
When the chase itself has failed - water-saturated framing, rotted sheathing, or siding that’s been channeling moisture inward for years after a Nor’easter - a liner won’t fix the structure. Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team rebuilds wood-framed chases with proper weather-resistant barriers, fire-rated framing, and new exterior cladding matched to the home. Partial rebuilds addressing the chase above the roofline run $3,500-$5,500 in Voorhees. Full chase rebuilds from the ground up, including a new factory-built fireplace unit and liner, range from $6,000-$7,500. We document the framing condition with photos before demolition so you see why the rebuild is necessary.

Trusted Brands We Service in Voorhees
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our Voorhees trucks stock DuraFlex flexible and rigid stainless liners, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing materials for firebox restoration where the damage is surface-level, and Famco termination caps and chase covers sized for the 8×12 and 10×10 flue collars common on 1980s prefab units. For chase rebuilds, we source Copperfield firestop assemblies and chase pans that outlast the originals. Having these parts on hand means we’re not ordering and waiting while your fireplace sits unusable - most Voorhees liner jobs are completed the same day we diagnose them.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Voorhees Homes
- Crumbling refractory panels inside prefab zero-clearance fireboxes. The original Heatilator and Majestic units installed in Voorhees’s 1970s-1980s subdivisions used refractory cement panels rated for 20-30 years of thermal cycling. At 40-50 years old, these panels crack and spall, exposing the metal firebox shell to direct flame contact. We find this during routine cleaning calls in the Kresson Road area regularly - the homeowner scheduled a sweep and learns their fireplace is unsafe to use.
- Rust-out at the firebox floor and rear wall from low-burn habits and chase moisture. Voorhees homeowners who light small, decorative fires a few times per season never generate enough heat to drive moisture out of the metal firebox. Add Nor’easter rain working past deteriorated chase flashing, and the result is rust that perforates the rear panel from the inside - invisible until the sweep opens the doors.
- Parts unavailability for discontinued 1970s-80s components. The spring-loaded glass doors, louvers, and draft controls on original prefab units were proprietary to manufacturers who stopped making them decades ago. When a door spring fails or a louver corrodes shut, repair is often impossible. That pushes the decision toward a full liner-and-insert retrofit with modern, serviceable components.
- Hidden water intrusion in wood-framed chases. Voorhees’s vinyl and aluminum-sided chases look fine from the curb. Inside, years of flashing leaks at the roof intersection have rotted the framing and saturated the insulation. We discover this with our camera inspection - water stains on the liner, rust streaks, or soft OSB sheathing - and explain why relining alone would be putting a bandage on a broken bone.

FAQs - Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Voorhees
It needs inspection before any use. Most 1978 prefab fireplaces in Voorhees are original Heatilator or Majestic units now 15-20 years past their design lifespan, and we’ve found crumbling refractory panels or rusted fireboxes in the majority we’ve inspected. Call (855) 950-3861 to schedule a Level-2 camera inspection - estimates are free, and we’ll show you the photos so you can see exactly what you’re dealing with.
No - a liner carries flue gases safely to the exterior, but it doesn’t replace a structurally failed firebox. If the metal shell has perforated, the entire factory-built unit must be replaced with a new insert and compatible liner. We handle both the removal and replacement in Voorhees, typically completing the job in one day with our stocked DuraFlex and HeatShield components.
Usually not. The spring mechanisms, glass frames, and louver assemblies for 1980s prefab units were discontinued decades ago, and we’ve exhausted our salvage sources for Voorhees-area models. A broken door often signals it’s time to evaluate the entire unit for a liner-and-insert retrofit with modern, serviceable components. We’ll give you a straight answer on repair versus replacement when we see it.
Every year, without exception, for prefab units over 20 years old - and that describes most Voorhees fireplaces. South Jersey’s damp winters and low-burn habits accelerate rust and creosote buildup in these aging metal systems. Annual Level-2 inspection catches firebox deterioration before it becomes a safety hazard. We offer an $89 Seasonal Tune-Up that includes full inspection and cleaning.
We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners, Olympia Chimney rigid liners, and HeatShield cerfractory systems for firebox restoration. All are professional-grade, UL-listed for their fuel applications, and backed by manufacturer warranties plus our 90-Day Done Right Promise. We don’t use generic or builder-grade substitutes - the materials we put in your Voorhees chase are the same ones we specify for our own homes.
