Your chimney works like it should. No more water stains on your ceiling when it rains. No more smoke backing up into your living room during cozy winter nights. No more worrying about whether that crack in the masonry is getting worse.
You get peace of mind knowing a licensed, insured team fixed it right the first time. Your fireplace draws properly, your home stays dry, and you can actually enjoy using your fireplace again without holding your breath.
The repair work blends seamlessly with your existing chimney structure. When we’re finished, you’d never know there was a problem – except for the fact that everything actually works the way it’s supposed to.
We’ve been fixing chimneys across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We understand how Long Island’s harsh winters and humid summers affect your chimney’s masonry, flashing, and crown.
East Northport homeowners trust us because we show up when we say we will, explain what needs fixing in plain English, and give you photos of the work so you can see exactly what we did. We’re fully licensed and insured, which means you’re protected if anything goes wrong.
Most of our business comes from referrals. That happens when you do quality work at fair prices and actually answer your phone when customers call.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system – inside and out. We check the crown, flashing, masonry, flue liner, and damper. We take photos of any issues we find and explain what each problem means for your home’s safety and your wallet.
Next, we give you a detailed estimate that breaks down exactly what needs fixing and why. No surprise charges, no vague “additional work may be needed” language. You know what you’re paying for before we start.
Then we get to work. We protect your property with tarps, complete the repairs using quality materials, and clean up thoroughly when we’re done. You get photos of the completed work and a clear explanation of what we fixed. Most repairs are completed in one day, weather permitting.

We handle everything from minor mortar joint repairs to complete chimney rebuilds. Chimney crown cracks, flashing leaks, loose bricks, damaged flue liners, broken dampers – if it’s part of your chimney system, we can fix it.
East Northport’s coastal location means your chimney faces constant moisture exposure. Salt air accelerates masonry deterioration, and freeze-thaw cycles create cracks that let water in. We use waterproofing techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s climate conditions.
Our chimney cap installations include custom sizing to fit your specific flue dimensions. We install stainless steel liners that meet current building codes and improve your chimney’s draft efficiency. All masonry work uses materials that match your existing chimney’s appearance while providing superior weather resistance.
Look for water stains on your ceiling or walls near the chimney, especially after heavy rain. White staining on the outside of your chimney (called efflorescence) means water is getting into the masonry.
If you smell musty odors when using your fireplace, or if smoke enters your room instead of going up the flue, you likely have a structural problem. Loose or missing mortar, cracks in the chimney crown, or damaged flashing around the base are all signs that need immediate attention.
Don’t wait for these problems to get worse. What starts as a small leak can quickly become major structural damage that costs thousands more to repair.
Simple mortar joint repairs typically run $300-800, depending on how much repointing is needed. Chimney crown repairs range from $500-1,500, while flashing replacement usually costs $400-900.
More extensive repairs like flue liner replacement can run $1,500-4,000, and partial chimney rebuilds start around $3,000. The exact cost depends on the extent of damage, materials needed, and accessibility of your chimney.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor and material costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners find our prices fair compared to other licensed contractors in Suffolk County, and the quality of our work typically means you won’t need repairs again for many years.
Yes, we perform emergency chimney repairs year-round, including winter months. However, some repairs work better in certain weather conditions. Mortar and sealants need temperatures above freezing to cure properly.
For urgent issues like active leaks or damaged flashing, we can install temporary weatherproofing to protect your home until conditions improve for permanent repairs. We keep emergency materials in stock specifically for situations like this.
If your repair isn’t urgent, scheduling work during dry weather between April and November typically gives the best results. But if water is actively entering your home, don’t wait – we’ll find a way to stop the damage regardless of the season.
Quality chimney repairs should last 15-25 years with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on the materials used, installation quality, and Long Island’s weather exposure.
Stainless steel chimney caps and flashing typically last 20+ years. Properly repointed mortar joints should hold up for 15-20 years. Chimney crowns made with quality concrete and proper slope can last decades if installed correctly.
We warranty our workmanship for two years, which covers any issues related to installation. Material warranties vary by manufacturer – stainless steel components often come with 10-15 year warranties. Regular annual inspections help catch small issues before they become expensive problems.
We handle both cleaning and repairs, often during the same visit. Many chimney problems become apparent during a thorough cleaning, so it makes sense to address both issues together.
Our cleaning service includes removing creosote buildup, clearing debris from the flue, and inspecting all chimney components for damage. We use professional-grade brushes and vacuum equipment to ensure thorough cleaning without making a mess in your home.
If we find repair issues during cleaning, we’ll explain what needs fixing and provide an estimate on the spot. This saves you time and often reduces overall costs since we’re already set up at your property. Most customers appreciate handling everything in one appointment rather than scheduling multiple visits.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured for all chimney repair work in Suffolk County. Our license covers masonry work, roofing repairs, and general construction – everything needed for complete chimney services.
We carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects you if someone gets injured on your property or if our work accidentally causes damage to your home. You can verify our insurance coverage before we start work.
Many unlicensed contractors offer cheaper prices but leave you exposed to liability if something goes wrong. Our licensing and insurance costs more, but it gives you peace of mind that you’re working with legitimate professionals who stand behind their work.
