Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying about water pouring into your house every time it rains. No more wondering if that crack is dangerous or if carbon monoxide is seeping into your home while your family sleeps.
Your new chimney system handles everything Suffolk County throws at it—salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, nor’easters, and decades of coastal weather that destroys standard installations. You get a heating system that works efficiently through Long Island winters instead of fighting drafts and heat loss.
Most importantly, you protect your home’s value and your family’s safety with a chimney replacement that’s built to last 20+ years, not fall apart after the next big storm.
We’ve been solving Suffolk County’s toughest chimney problems for over a decade. We’re not some fly-by-night crew from out of state—we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what West Islip’s coastal environment does to chimney systems.
We’ve replaced chimneys damaged by Hurricane Sandy, fixed salt air corrosion that ate through “lifetime” materials in five years, and rebuilt systems that other contractors said were fine until they collapsed. Our team knows Suffolk County building codes, local weather patterns, and which materials actually survive here.
When your neighbors need their chimney replaced right the first time, they call us because we show up when scheduled, use materials designed for coastal conditions, and stand behind our work with real warranties.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system—not just the obvious damage you can see. We check the foundation, flue liner, crown, flashing, and masonry to understand what caused the failure and prevent it from happening again.
Next comes careful demolition and removal of the damaged chimney, protecting your roof and property throughout the process. We handle all permits and inspections required by Suffolk County.
Then we rebuild using materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s coastal climate—salt-resistant mortars, proper flashing systems, and liner materials that handle decades of moisture and temperature swings. Every step follows local building codes and industry best practices for coastal construction.

Your chimney replacement includes complete demolition and removal of the existing system, new foundation work if needed, and full reconstruction using coastal-grade materials. We install new flue liners, proper flashing systems, chimney crowns, and caps designed to handle Suffolk County weather.
West Islip homeowners face unique challenges from salt air that accelerates corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles that crack standard materials within years. That’s why we use specialized mortars, stainless steel components, and waterproofing systems proven to last in marine environments.
Every replacement comes with comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship. We handle all permits, inspections, and cleanup, leaving you with a chimney system that protects your home and family for decades, not just until the next storm season.
Most complete chimney replacements take 3-5 days depending on the size of your chimney and weather conditions. We start with careful demolition and debris removal, which typically takes a full day.
Foundation work and initial construction usually require 1-2 days, followed by masonry work, liner installation, and finishing details. Suffolk County’s coastal weather can affect scheduling—we won’t work in conditions that compromise quality or safety.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed of any weather delays. The goal is doing it right, not rushing through a job that needs to last 20+ years in Long Island’s harsh climate.
Suffolk County’s marine environment destroys standard chimney materials within years instead of decades. Salt air penetrates mortar joints and corrodes metal components, while freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry that wasn’t designed for coastal conditions.
We use specialized materials like salt-resistant mortars, stainless steel flashing and caps, and waterproofing systems that actually work in marine environments. Standard contractors often use inland materials that fail quickly here.
Our techniques account for thermal expansion, moisture infiltration, and structural movement that coastal chimneys experience. This isn’t just about building codes—it’s about understanding what actually survives Long Island weather long-term.
Complete chimney replacement typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the size, height, and complexity of your system. Coastal-grade materials and specialized construction techniques cost more upfront but save thousands in repeated repairs.
Factors affecting cost include chimney height, roofline complexity, permit requirements, and any additional structural work needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees.
Consider that cheap replacements using standard materials often fail within 5-7 years in Suffolk County’s climate, requiring expensive emergency repairs or complete reconstruction. Quality coastal construction is an investment that protects your home’s value.
We can handle emergency chimney replacement during winter when your safety is at risk, but we prefer scheduling major work during milder months when conditions allow for optimal construction quality.
Winter emergency work focuses on making your home safe and weatherproof, with complete reconstruction scheduled for spring. Suffolk County’s winter weather—freezing temperatures, snow, and coastal storms—can affect mortar curing and construction quality.
For planned replacements, fall and spring offer the best conditions for quality work that lasts. We’ll winterize your system temporarily if needed and schedule the full replacement when weather permits proper construction.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required by Suffolk County and the Town of Islip for chimney replacement work. This includes structural permits, building inspections, and final approvals.
Suffolk County has specific requirements for coastal construction, including wind load calculations, foundation specifications, and material standards. We know these codes and ensure your replacement meets all current requirements.
Permit costs are included in our estimates, and we coordinate all inspections to keep your project on schedule. You don’t need to deal with building departments or worry about code compliance—that’s our responsibility.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship for chimney replacement projects. Structural work is warranted for 10 years, while specific components like flashing and crowns carry 5-7 year warranties.
Our warranties are backed by proper insurance and local presence—we’re not disappearing after the job. If problems develop due to our workmanship or material defects, we fix them at no cost to you.
Most importantly, we use materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s coastal environment and follow construction techniques proven to last here. Quality work with proper materials rarely needs warranty service, but you have complete protection if issues arise.
