Hear From Our Clients
You get a chimney that works like it should—venting smoke properly, keeping moisture out, and standing strong against North Babylon’s coastal weather. No more worrying about carbon monoxide leaks or structural collapse that could cost thousands later.
Winter storms, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles won’t turn your chimney into an expensive emergency. The peace of mind is real when you know your family’s safe, your home’s protected, and your investment is secure.
Your heating system runs more efficiently too. A properly sized chimney liner matches your heating system, reducing fuel consumption and putting more heat into your home instead of up the chimney.
Home Team Construction has been protecting Suffolk County homes for years because we understand something other contractors miss—coastal construction isn’t just regular construction near water. We’re licensed contractors who live and work in your neighborhood, so our work quality reflects on us in the community.
Our team comprises skilled masons and roofers who’ve spent over a decade solving North Babylon’s unique chimney challenges. From Babylon’s older masonry homes to newer construction, we’ve handled complete chimney replacements that stand up to everything Long Island weather throws at them.
We use impact-resistant materials and coastal-grade components specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s harsh weather patterns. Every crew member is properly trained, licensed, and insured for your protection.
We start with a detailed structural assessment of your current chimney and provide a comprehensive, fixed-price estimate. No hidden fees that appear later. Just clear information about what your chimney needs and exactly what it will cost.
Next, we handle all permit applications and inspections for North Babylon chimney projects, ensuring compliance with local building codes and coastal construction requirements. Our relationships with local building officials mean smooth approval processes and first-time inspection passes.
During installation, we protect your property like it’s our own. Daily cleanup means no debris in your landscaping and no construction mess for you to deal with. We complete each phase systematically—from demolition to final inspection—ensuring quality at every step. The job isn’t done until it meets our standards and exceeds your expectations.

Your complete chimney replacement includes everything needed for decades of reliable service. We install new chimney liners sized to match your heating system, improving efficiency and safety. The crown and cap are built to shed North Babylon’s frequent precipitation and resist salt air corrosion.
All masonry work uses weatherproof mortar designed for coastal humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. We don’t use generic materials—everything is chosen specifically for Suffolk County’s challenging environment where regular contractors often fail.
The flashing system is engineered to handle Long Island’s storm patterns, preventing the water intrusion that destroys so many chimneys here. We include proper insulation and fireproofing that meets current building codes, not outdated standards that put families at risk. Every component works together as a system designed to last.
Complete chimney replacement in North Babylon typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the height, complexity, and materials needed. The wide range reflects factors like accessibility, permit requirements, and whether you need a complete tear-down to the foundation or just rebuilding from the roofline up.
Suffolk County’s higher labor costs and strict building codes mean replacements cost more than national averages, but quality work prevents the need for frequent re-repairs. We provide upfront pricing with detailed estimates, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Trying to patch a failing chimney usually costs more in the long run. When structural damage goes beyond what repairs can fix—like when bricks are crumbling, the structure is leaning, or water damage has compromised the entire system—replacement is the only safe option.
Most chimney replacement projects in North Babylon take 3-5 days, depending on the chimney size, weather conditions, and permit approval timeline. We handle all permit applications upfront, which typically adds 1-2 weeks to the overall project timeline but ensures everything is done legally and safely.
The actual installation moves quickly once we start. Day one involves careful demolition and site preparation. Days two and three focus on rebuilding the structure with proper materials and techniques. The final days cover finishing work, crown installation, and final inspections.
Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t compromise quality for speed. North Babylon’s coastal conditions require proper curing time for mortar and sealants. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and provide temporary weatherproofing if storms interrupt the work.
Suffolk County’s coastal environment is significantly tougher on chimneys than inland areas. Salt air accelerates mortar deterioration, frequent storms test flashing systems, and freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry faster than you’d see elsewhere on Long Island.
We use specialized materials designed for these conditions—weatherproof mortars with additives to combat coastal humidity, stainless steel components that resist salt corrosion, and flashing systems engineered for storm water management. Regular contractors often use standard materials that fail quickly here.
Building codes in North Babylon also require specific wind load calculations and moisture protection standards for coastal construction. We maintain relationships with local building officials and understand these requirements inside and out, ensuring your replacement passes inspections the first time and provides decades of reliable service.
If your chimney is leaning, has widespread brick deterioration, or shows structural damage throughout the system, replacement is usually the safer and more cost-effective choice. Trying to repair a fundamentally compromised structure often leads to ongoing problems and higher total costs.
Signs that point to replacement include: multiple areas of damage, water intrusion that’s affected the interior structure, a chimney that’s pulling away from the house, or repeated repair failures. When the foundation or internal structure is compromised, repairs won’t hold long-term.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. Sometimes a chimney that looks terrible from the outside just needs repointing and crown work. Other times, what seems like minor issues actually indicate deeper structural problems. Our job is to recommend the solution that keeps your family safe while making financial sense.
Yes, we manage all permit applications and inspections for North Babylon chimney replacement projects. This includes compliance with local building codes, coastal construction requirements, and any historic district regulations that might affect your property.
Suffolk County has specific requirements for coastal construction that many contractors don’t understand. Our permit process includes proper wind load calculations, moisture protection standards, and structural considerations required for coastal environments like North Babylon.
We maintain relationships with local building officials and inspectors, ensuring smooth approval processes and first-time inspection passes. Proper permits protect your investment and ensure insurance coverage remains valid. Unpermitted work can create serious problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims.

Our material warranties typically run 15-25 years depending on the components used, while our workmanship warranty covers installation quality for a minimum of 5 years.
The specific warranty terms depend on the materials chosen and scope of work, but we always use manufacturer-backed components with full warranty support.
