Your chimney replacement eliminates the constant worry about carbon monoxide leaks, house fires, and water damage ruining your walls and ceilings. No more surprise repair bills or emergency calls during the worst weather.
You get a properly functioning heating system that works efficiently all winter long. Your family stays safe, your home stays warm, and your substantial investment in your Selden property remains protected.
The peace of mind alone is worth it—knowing your new chimney is built to handle everything Long Island weather throws at it, from harsh winters to humid summers, without the ongoing maintenance headaches of an aging system.
We’ve been serving Selden and Suffolk County homeowners for years, handling everything from complete chimney rebuilds to structural repairs. We understand how the coastal weather affects your chimney differently than inland properties.
Most homes in Selden were built in the 1950s and 60s, which means your chimney has likely been through decades of freeze-thaw cycles and salt air exposure. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in these conditions.
Our team knows the local building codes, understands the unique challenges of working on older Long Island homes, and has the experience to handle complete replacements properly. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who live and work in this community.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection to determine whether your chimney needs partial reconstruction or complete replacement. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain your options in plain language.
Next, we handle all permits and prepare your property with proper protection. Our crew carefully removes the existing chimney structure, taking care not to damage your landscaping or surrounding areas.
Then we rebuild using quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate—proper foundation work, new liner installation, and masonry that can handle our coastal weather conditions. We complete the work efficiently while keeping your property clean throughout the process.

Your chimney replacement includes everything needed for decades of safe operation: complete structural removal and rebuilding, new stainless steel liner installation, proper flashing and waterproofing, and masonry work designed for coastal conditions.
In Selden’s climate, where freeze-thaw cycles and salt air create unique challenges, we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for longevity. Your new chimney will handle the harsh Suffolk County winters and humid summers without the constant repair needs of older systems.
We also ensure proper code compliance and obtain all necessary permits. Every aspect of the replacement is designed to protect your substantial home investment—with median home values around $435,000 in Selden, you need contractors who understand the stakes.
Several signs indicate you need complete replacement rather than repairs. If your chimney is leaning or tilting noticeably, that’s an immediate safety concern requiring full replacement.
Severe masonry damage like large cracks, crumbling bricks, or extensively deteriorated mortar throughout the structure typically means replacement is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Persistent water leaks that have caused mold growth or structural weakening also point to replacement.
When the chimney liner is severely damaged or missing entirely, and the internal structure shows significant deterioration, a complete rebuild ensures proper venting and safety. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain exactly why replacement makes sense for your home.
Complete chimney replacement in Selden typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the work needed. Long Island costs tend to be higher than national averages due to local labor costs and building codes.
Several factors affect your final cost: the height and size of your chimney, accessibility for equipment and materials, whether we need to rebuild from the foundation or just from the roofline, and the type of liner and materials you choose.
If your chimney has caused damage to surrounding areas or requires extensive foundation work, costs can increase. However, complete replacement often costs less than years of ongoing major repairs, and it eliminates the safety risks and constant maintenance of a failing system.
Most complete chimney replacements in Selden take 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your project. Weather conditions can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s winter months.
The process starts with careful removal of the existing structure, which typically takes a full day. Foundation and structural work follows, then the actual rebuilding with new masonry and liner installation. Final details like flashing, waterproofing, and cleanup complete the project.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, but we never rush quality work. Proper curing time for masonry and careful attention to weatherproofing details ensure your new chimney will last for decades without problems.
Yes, we design your new chimney to work perfectly with your existing heating system, whether you have a furnace, boiler, or fireplace. The new liner will be properly sized for your specific appliances to ensure safe, efficient operation.
Many Selden homes built in the 1950s and 60s have heating systems that weren’t originally matched properly to their chimneys. Your replacement gives us the opportunity to optimize the entire system for better efficiency and safety.
We’ll assess your current setup during the initial inspection and explain any improvements we can make. The new chimney will provide better draft, improved efficiency, and eliminate any venting problems you may have experienced with the old system.
We provide comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship for your complete chimney replacement. Stainless steel liners typically come with lifetime manufacturer warranties, while our masonry work includes substantial coverage against defects.
The specific warranty terms depend on the materials chosen and scope of work, but we stand behind every aspect of your replacement. We use quality materials designed for Long Island’s coastal climate and follow proven installation methods.
More importantly, we’re a local company that will be here to address any concerns. We’ve built our reputation on quality work that lasts, and we want your chimney replacement to provide decades of trouble-free operation for your family.
