Hear From Our Clients
You’re not dealing with water stains on your ceiling anymore. No more worrying about chimney fires every time you light up the fireplace. No more throwing money away on heating bills because your chimney isn’t working right.
When your chimney is properly repaired, you get back to enjoying your fireplace without the stress. Your home stays protected from water damage. Your heating system works efficiently, saving you money every month.
That’s what happens when the job is done right the first time by people who actually know what they’re doing.
We’ve been serving Lake Ronkonkoma and the surrounding Long Island communities for years. We know the homes in this area – many built in the 50s, 60s, and 70s with chimney systems that are showing their age.
We understand how Long Island’s coastal climate affects your chimney. The salt air, the freeze-thaw cycles, the heavy rains – all of it takes a toll on masonry and flashing. That’s why we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for our local conditions.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your dime. You’re getting contractors who live and work in this community, with a reputation to protect.
First, we do a complete inspection of your chimney system from top to bottom. We’re looking at the crown, the flashing, the masonry, the flue liner – everything that could be causing problems or might cause problems soon.
You get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what we found. No surprises, no upselling, just the facts about what needs to be fixed and why.
Then we handle the repairs using quality materials designed to last in Long Island’s climate. Whether it’s tuckpointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, or waterproofing the entire system, we do it right the first time. You know exactly what to expect before we start, and you can see the quality when we’re done.

Chimney crown repair and replacement for crowns cracked by freeze-thaw cycles. Chimney flashing repair to stop those persistent leaks that damage your walls and ceilings. Masonry tuckpointing to restore structural integrity to deteriorating mortar joints.
We also handle chimney cap replacement, flue liner repair, and complete chimney waterproofing. If it’s part of your chimney system, we know how to fix it properly.
In Lake Ronkonkoma, we see a lot of water damage from failed flashing – especially on homes built in the 60s and 70s where the original flashing is finally giving up. We also deal with crown damage from our harsh winters and masonry problems from the salt air coming off the Great South Bay.
Chimney repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your chimney. Minor tuckpointing might run a few hundred dollars. Crown repair typically ranges from $500 to $1,500. Flashing replacement usually costs $800 to $1,200.
The real cost is what happens if you don’t fix problems early. A small leak that could be fixed for $300 can turn into thousands in water damage if you wait. That’s why we always start with a thorough inspection – so you know exactly what you’re dealing with and can make smart decisions about repairs.
We give you upfront pricing with no surprises. You’ll know what it costs before we start any work.
Water stains on walls or ceilings near your fireplace are the biggest red flag. White staining on the outside of your chimney (efflorescence) means water is getting into the masonry. Rust on your damper or firebox is another clear sign of moisture problems.
You might also notice loose or missing mortar between bricks, cracks in the chimney crown, or animals getting into your chimney through damaged caps. If your fireplace isn’t drawing properly or you smell odors coming from it, that could indicate flue problems.
Don’t wait for obvious problems. Most chimney issues start small and get expensive fast. A yearly inspection catches problems while they’re still cheap to fix.
It depends on what’s wrong with your chimney. If you have structural damage, flue liner problems, or anything that could affect proper ventilation, don’t use your fireplace until repairs are complete. Carbon monoxide poisoning and house fires aren’t worth the risk.
Minor issues like small crown cracks or cosmetic masonry problems might not prevent safe use, but you should have a professional evaluate the situation. We can tell you whether it’s safe to use your fireplace and what repairs are urgent versus what can wait.
When in doubt, don’t use it. The few weeks without your fireplace are better than dealing with a house fire or worse.
Most chimney repairs take one to three days, depending on the scope of work and weather conditions. Simple jobs like chimney cap replacement or minor tuckpointing can often be completed in a single day.
Larger projects like crown rebuilding or extensive masonry work might take several days, especially if we need to wait for materials to cure properly. Weather plays a big role too – we can’t do quality masonry work in freezing temperatures or heavy rain.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through and have problems later.
Chimney repair fixes specific problems while keeping your existing chimney structure. This covers everything from repointing mortar joints to replacing crowns or flashing. Most chimney problems can be solved with targeted repairs that cost much less than full replacement.
Chimney replacement means tearing down the existing chimney and building a new one. This is only necessary when the structural integrity is completely compromised – usually from years of neglect or major damage from things like lightning strikes or settling foundations.
In Lake Ronkonkoma, we rarely see chimneys that need complete replacement. Most problems we encounter can be fixed with proper repairs that restore safety and function at a fraction of replacement cost.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and stand behind the quality of our repairs. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work performed, but you’re protected if our work fails due to installation issues.
We use quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions, and we follow proper installation procedures. Most of our chimney repairs last for many years when properly maintained.
Keep in mind that warranties cover workmanship, not normal wear and tear or damage from things like severe weather or lack of maintenance. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered when we provide your estimate, so there are no surprises later.
