I live in Kings Park and need to have a cap put on my chimney. Can anyone please recommend someone reliable and not to much $$$. Also, I know this might sound naive but if I don't have a wood burning fireplace, is it necessary to still get my chimney cleaned out?

rj chimney... very honest, used him for the past 15 years or so...
Yes, on the cleaning. Particularly if your furnance is oil-burning, the smoke and ash by-product of oil contains sulfuric acid, which over time will eat away at the lining of your chimney and will cause serious ($$$$) damage.

I actually have gas for everything in my home. Would I still need to get the chimney cleaned for this? I don't think my home ever had oil. Thanks.

Your Oil co should give you a heads up when you have your tune up.

It still should be cleaned, at least once, from top to bottom. Natural gas that is burned leaves behind hydrochloric acid as it's by-product, which is weaker in strength than sulfuric acid left by oil.
