Your chimney draws properly, your home stays dry, and you get back to enjoying your fireplace instead of stressing about it. That’s what professional chimney repair looks like.
We’ve been handling chimney repairs throughout Long Island for years. We understand how this area’s weather beats up chimneys—the freeze-thaw cycles that crack crowns, the salt air that eats through mortar, the nor’easters that find every weak spot in your flashing.
Most contractors want to clean your chimney and call it done. We focus on the structural problems that actually matter. We fix the leaks, rebuild the damaged masonry, and waterproof everything so the repairs last.
You get straight answers about what’s broken and what it costs to fix. No overselling, no scare tactics, just honest assessment from people who’ve seen every type of chimney problem Long Island throws at them.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system—not just the obvious problem areas. We check the crown, flashing, mortar joints, and interior components to find everything that needs attention.
Then we explain exactly what we found and what it’ll cost to fix properly. You see photos of the damage and understand why each repair matters for your chimney’s long-term function.
The actual repair work starts with protecting your property and setting up properly. We remove damaged materials, rebuild with quality components designed for Long Island weather, and waterproof everything to prevent future problems. You see the progress as it happens, and we clean up completely when finished.

Chimney leak repair tackles the water problems that cause most damage. We fix flashing, seal crowns, and repair mortar joints so water stays outside where it belongs. No more stains on your ceiling or water pooling in your firebox.
Brick chimney repair and tuckpointing restore the structural integrity. We remove deteriorated mortar, repoint joints with matching materials, and replace damaged bricks. Your chimney looks solid and actually is solid.
Chimney waterproofing protects everything after repairs are complete. We apply breathable sealers that keep water out while letting moisture escape. Every job includes this protection because Long Island weather demands it.
Chimney repair costs depend on what’s actually broken. Simple mortar repointing might run $800-1,500, while major crown rebuilds or extensive brick replacement can reach $3,000-5,000.
The key is catching problems early—fixing a small leak costs hundreds, but waiting until water damages your home’s interior costs thousands more. Most Kings Park homeowners spend between $1,200-2,500 for typical repairs that address leaks and structural issues before they spread.
You’ll get an exact estimate after inspection, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We explain every line item so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why each repair matters.
Long Island’s coastal weather is brutal on chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry when water gets into small cracks and expands as it freezes. Salt air corrodes metal components like flashing and dampers. Heavy rains and nor’easters find every weak spot and turn minor issues into major problems.
The most common damage we see includes cracked chimney crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, damaged flashing around the base, and spalling bricks where the surface flakes off. Water infiltration accelerates all of these problems.
Prevention involves regular inspection and maintenance, addressing small problems before they become major leaks, and proper waterproofing after any repair work. Quality flashing installation, crown sealing, and breathable waterproofing treatments keep water out while allowing moisture to escape.
Quality chimney repairs should last 15-25 years when done properly with the right materials. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and salt air are tough on masonry, so using appropriate mortar mixes and waterproofing is crucial.
The repairs that fail quickly are usually done with wrong materials or shortcuts. We use mortar that matches your original chimney’s strength and porosity. Too-strong mortar cracks the bricks. Too-weak mortar washes out in a few years.
Proper waterproofing extends repair life significantly. We apply breathable sealers that repel water but let moisture vapor escape. This prevents the trapped moisture that causes spalling and deterioration from the inside out.
No, don’t use your fireplace during active chimney repair work. The repair process often involves opening up flue systems, removing damaged components, and temporarily compromising the chimney’s ability to safely vent smoke and gases.
Using the fireplace during repairs creates serious safety risks including carbon monoxide exposure and fire hazards. Most chimney repairs take 1-3 days depending on scope, so the downtime is minimal.
Once repairs are complete and everything is properly sealed and tested, you can resume normal fireplace use with confidence that everything works safely. We’ll do a final inspection and test the draft before giving you the all-clear.
Look for obvious signs like loose or missing bricks, white staining on the exterior, water stains inside your home, or chunks of masonry in your yard. These indicate structural problems that need immediate attention.
Less obvious indicators include fireplace smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, musty odors, or rust on the damper and firebox. These suggest draft problems or water infiltration that’s affecting your chimney’s function.
Water-stained ceilings or walls near the chimney often indicate leaks caused by worn-out flashing or cracks in the chimney cap. If you notice any of these signs, especially after storms, get an inspection quickly before the damage spreads.
Yes, we respond to chimney emergencies throughout Kings Park and Suffolk County. Emergency situations include chimney fires, sudden structural damage, major leaks during storms, or any situation where your chimney poses an immediate safety risk.
We prioritize emergency calls and can typically respond within hours to assess the situation and make temporary repairs to secure your home. Emergency repairs focus on immediate safety and preventing further damage until permanent repairs can be completed.
Common emergencies include storm damage that compromises the chimney structure, flashing failures that cause major leaks, or draft problems that allow smoke and gases into your home. Don’t wait if you suspect a serious chimney problem—call immediately for professional assessment.
