You’ll sleep better knowing your chimney isn’t a fire hazard or water damage waiting to happen. No more worrying about creosote buildup, cracked crowns, or leaky flashing that turns your basement into a swimming pool.
When your chimney works properly, your fireplace draws smoke correctly, your home stays dry, and you can actually enjoy those cozy winter nights without wondering if something’s about to go wrong. That’s what proper chimney repair delivers.
We handle everything from minor mortar repairs to complete chimney rebuilds, but we only fix what actually needs fixing. No upselling, no scare tactics, just honest assessments and solid work that holds up to Long Island’s weather.
Home Team Construction has been serving Deer Park and Suffolk County homeowners with reliable chimney repair services. We’re the contractors your neighbors actually recommend because we do what we say we’ll do.
Our team understands Long Island’s climate challenges. The humidity here is tough on masonry, and we’ve seen what happens when chimney problems get ignored. That’s why we focus on durable repairs using materials that can handle our weather conditions.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. When you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community, not some call center three states away.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify exactly what’s wrong and what’s not. You’ll get a clear explanation of any issues we find, along with photos so you can see what we’re talking about.
Next comes an honest estimate. We break down what needs immediate attention versus what can wait, so you can make informed decisions about your budget and timeline.
Once you approve the work, we show up when scheduled and complete the job properly. We clean up after ourselves and make sure you understand what we’ve done and how to maintain it going forward. No mysteries, no surprises, just professional chimney repair done right.

Our chimney repair services cover everything your chimney needs to function safely and efficiently. We handle chimney masonry tuckpointing to restore deteriorated mortar joints, chimney crown repair to prevent water infiltration, and chimney flue repair to ensure proper ventilation.
Chimney cap replacement and chimney flashing leak repair are common needs here in Deer Park, especially with our humid Long Island climate. We also provide chimney waterproofing services to protect your masonry from moisture damage that can lead to expensive structural problems.
Whether you need fireplace chimney repair for better draft or comprehensive chimney inspection and repair services, we use quality materials designed to withstand Suffolk County’s weather conditions. Our goal is repairs that last, not ones you’ll need to redo in a few years.
A professional inspection tells you exactly what you’re dealing with. Cleaning removes soot and debris, but it won’t fix cracked crowns, damaged flashing, or deteriorated mortar joints that let water in.
Signs you need repair include white staining on exterior bricks, rust on the damper or firebox, water in the fireplace after rain, or pieces of mortar in the firebox. These indicate structural issues that cleaning alone won’t solve.
We’ll inspect your chimney thoroughly and explain the difference between maintenance cleaning and necessary repairs. You’ll know exactly what needs attention and what can wait.
Most chimney leaks come from damaged flashing, cracked crowns, or deteriorated mortar joints. Long Island’s humidity makes these problems worse over time, especially if small issues get ignored.
Flashing problems happen where the chimney meets the roof. When the seal fails, water runs down inside your walls and can flood your basement. Crown damage lets water soak into the masonry, causing freeze-thaw damage that cracks the structure.
We fix leaks by addressing the actual source, not just the symptoms. That might mean reflashing, crown repair, tuckpointing, or waterproofing depending on what’s causing the problem. Quick fixes don’t work long-term.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your chimney. Minor mortar repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while major structural work can run several thousand.
Common repairs include tuckpointing ($500-1500), crown repair ($300-1200), cap replacement ($200-800), and flashing repair ($300-1000). Complete rebuilds start around $3000 and go up based on chimney size and complexity.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, just honest pricing for quality work that lasts.
The best time is before you have bigger problems. Small issues like minor mortar damage or loose caps are much cheaper to fix than water damage, structural problems, or complete rebuilds.
Spring and fall are ideal for non-emergency repairs because weather cooperates and you’re not using the fireplace. But safety issues like damaged flashing, cracked crowns, or structural damage shouldn’t wait for perfect weather.
We handle emergency repairs year-round because chimney problems don’t follow convenient schedules. If you’re seeing water damage or safety concerns, don’t wait until it’s convenient to address them.
Most chimney repairs don’t require permits, but major reconstruction work might. Town of Babylon has specific requirements for structural work that affects the building’s integrity.
Routine maintenance like cleaning, minor mortar repair, cap replacement, or flashing work typically doesn’t need permits. But if we’re rebuilding significant portions of the chimney or making major structural changes, permits may be required.
We handle permit requirements when they’re needed and make sure all work meets local building codes. You don’t have to worry about compliance issues when you work with licensed professionals.
Quality repairs using proper materials should last 10-20 years or more, depending on the work performed and local conditions. The key is using materials designed for Long Island’s climate and doing the work correctly the first time.
Cheap repairs fail quickly because they use inferior materials or shortcuts that don’t address underlying problems. We use quality mortar, proper flashing materials, and proven techniques that hold up to weather and time.
Regular maintenance extends repair life significantly. Annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones, and proper cleaning prevents damage from creosote buildup. Taking care of your chimney makes our repairs last longer.
