You shouldn’t have to worry about carbon monoxide leaks or water damage every time you use your fireplace. When your chimney works properly, you get consistent heat, lower energy bills, and complete peace of mind during those cold Lake Grove winters.
No more mysterious water stains on your ceiling. No more smoky rooms or strange odors. Just a chimney that does its job safely and efficiently, protecting your home’s value and your family’s health.
That’s what proper chimney repair delivers – the confidence to enjoy your fireplace without the constant worry about what might go wrong.
We’ve been fixing chimneys in Lake Grove and throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand how Long Island’s weather affects your chimney – from freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry to coastal moisture that accelerates deterioration.
Local homeowners trust us because we show up when we say we will, explain exactly what’s wrong, and fix it right the first time. We’re not the guys who disappear after taking your deposit or try to sell you services you don’t need.
When your chimney has problems, you need someone who knows the difference between a quick patch and a lasting solution. That’s exactly what we deliver.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We check the crown, flashing, masonry, flue liner, and damper to identify every issue – not just the obvious ones.
Then we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon or scare tactics. Just clear information about what needs fixing and why, plus upfront pricing before any work begins.
Finally, we complete the repairs using quality materials and proven techniques. Whether it’s tuckpointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing a damaged chimney crown, or fixing flashing leaks, we handle each repair with the same attention to detail we’d want for our own homes.

Our chimney repair services cover everything from minor crack repairs to complete chimney rebuilds. We handle masonry tuckpointing, chimney crown repair, flue liner replacement, cap installation, and flashing leak repair.
Lake Grove’s older homes often need chimney waterproofing to prevent moisture damage, especially with our humid coastal climate. We also provide comprehensive chimney inspections that catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
Whether you’re dealing with a smoking fireplace, water leaks, or structural damage, we have the tools and experience to fix it properly. Each repair comes with our commitment to quality workmanship that lasts.
Chimney repair costs vary based on the specific problem and extent of damage. Minor mortar repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while major structural work can run several thousand.
We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your chimney, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find that investing in proper repairs now saves them thousands compared to waiting until the damage spreads.
The key is addressing problems early – a small crack in your chimney crown costs much less to fix than the water damage it can cause if left alone.
Most chimney repairs take one to three days, depending on the work involved. Simple jobs like cap replacement or minor tuckpointing can often be completed in a single day.
More extensive repairs like crown rebuilding or major masonry work may take several days, especially if we need to wait for materials to cure properly. Weather can also affect timing for exterior work.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling to protect your home from further damage.
You should inspect your chimney annually, preferably before heating season starts. Look for obvious signs like cracked masonry, rust stains, or white mineral deposits on the exterior.
Call for immediate inspection if you notice water leaks, smoke entering your room, or strong odors coming from your fireplace. These often indicate serious problems that need quick attention.
The best time for non-emergency repairs is late spring through early fall when weather conditions are ideal for masonry work and you’re not depending on your fireplace for heat.
Most chimney leaks come from damaged flashing where the chimney meets your roof, cracked chimney crowns, or deteriorated mortar joints. Poor cap installation can also let water in.
We identify the leak source through careful inspection, then address the root cause – not just the symptoms. This might involve replacing flashing, rebuilding the crown, or applying professional-grade sealers.
Quick fixes like caulk rarely work long-term. Proper leak repair requires the right materials and techniques to handle Lake Grove’s weather conditions year-round.
We can handle emergency chimney repairs in winter when safety is at risk. However, some masonry work requires specific temperature conditions for proper curing.
Emergency services like temporary leak sealing, cap replacement, or safety inspections can be done year-round. More extensive masonry repairs are best scheduled for milder weather when materials can cure properly.
If you have a winter emergency, we’ll stabilize the situation immediately and schedule permanent repairs for optimal conditions. Your safety comes first.
Call us if you see cracked or crumbling mortar, rust stains on your damper, white mineral deposits on exterior masonry, or any water leaks around your chimney.
Other warning signs include smoke entering your room instead of going up the flue, strong odors from your fireplace, or animals getting into your chimney. These problems won’t fix themselves.
Even if everything seems fine, annual professional inspections catch developing problems before they become expensive emergencies. It’s much cheaper to maintain your chimney than to rebuild it.
