We’ve been serving Setauket and the broader Long Island area with reliable chimney repair services. We understand how Long Island’s coastal weather affects chimney systems—the freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry, the salt air that corrodes metal components, and the heavy rains that find every weak spot.
Our team knows these local challenges because we live and work here too. We’ve repaired chimneys in every neighborhood from the waterfront homes near Setauket Harbor to the historic properties along Main Street. When you call us, you’re working with contractors who understand both your home’s needs and your community’s standards.
We’re licensed, insured, and committed to treating your property with the same care we’d want for our own homes.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify every issue—not just the obvious ones. You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed now, and what can wait. No surprises, no pressure, just honest assessment.
Once you approve the work, we protect your landscaping and surrounding areas before we begin. Our repairs address the root cause of problems, whether that’s damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorating mortar joints, or compromised flue liners. We use quality materials designed to withstand Long Island’s weather conditions.
After completion, we clean up thoroughly and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll understand how to maintain your chimney and know exactly what to watch for in the future. Most importantly, you’ll have confidence that your chimney repair will last.

Our chimney repair services cover everything your chimney system needs. We handle chimney masonry tuckpointing to restore structural integrity, chimney crown repair to prevent water infiltration, and chimney flue repair to ensure proper ventilation. When caps need replacement or flashing repairs are necessary to stop leaks, we take care of those too.
Setauket’s proximity to the water means your chimney faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, while temperature fluctuations cause masonry to expand and contract. Our chimney waterproofing services create a barrier against moisture without trapping existing water inside the masonry—a critical distinction that prevents freeze damage.
We also provide comprehensive fireplace chimney repair and chimney inspection services. Whether you’re dealing with minor chimney crack repair or need major reconstruction, our approach stays the same: fix it right, use quality materials, and ensure it lasts through many more Long Island winters.
Look for water stains on walls or ceilings near your chimney, white staining (efflorescence) on the outside brickwork, or rust on your damper or firebox. You might notice loose or missing mortar between bricks, damaged chimney caps, or animals getting into your chimney.
Inside your home, watch for musty odors coming from the fireplace area or water pooling in the firebox after rain. These signs often indicate flashing problems, crown damage, or deteriorating mortar joints that need immediate attention.
If you’re unsure, schedule an inspection. Many chimney problems start small but cause expensive damage when left unaddressed. A professional assessment can identify issues before they become major repairs.
Most chimney repairs involve multiple components working together. We typically address masonry issues like tuckpointing damaged mortar joints, repairing or replacing the chimney crown, and fixing any cracks in the brickwork. Flashing repair is often necessary to seal the connection between your chimney and roof.
Depending on your chimney’s condition, we might recommend cap replacement to keep water and animals out, or waterproofing to protect the masonry from moisture damage. If the flue liner is compromised, we’ll discuss repair or replacement options to ensure safe operation.
Each repair is customized to your specific situation. We explain what needs immediate attention versus what can be planned for later, so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
Most standard chimney repairs take one to three days, depending on the scope of work and weather conditions. Simple repairs like tuckpointing small sections or replacing a chimney cap can often be completed in a single day.
More extensive repairs involving crown replacement, major masonry work, or flue liner installation typically require two to three days. We factor in curing time for materials—mortar and sealants need proper time to set, especially in Long Island’s variable weather conditions.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather or unexpected discoveries affect our schedule. Our goal is to complete your repair efficiently without compromising quality.
We can perform many chimney repairs year-round, but temperature and weather conditions do affect our options. Emergency repairs like temporary leak fixes or safety-related issues can’t wait for spring—we’ll find solutions that work in cold weather.
For major masonry work, we prefer temperatures above freezing because mortar needs proper conditions to cure correctly. However, we can often work around weather limitations by using cold-weather materials or scheduling work during milder periods.
If your repair isn’t urgent, we might recommend waiting for better conditions to ensure the longest-lasting results. Emergency situations get handled immediately with temporary solutions followed by permanent repairs when conditions allow.
Chimney repair costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage and type of work needed. Minor tuckpointing or small crack repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while major crown replacement or flue liner installation can reach several thousand.
Most homeowners in the Setauket area spend between $800 and $3,500 for typical chimney repairs. Factors affecting cost include accessibility of your chimney, materials needed, and whether structural issues require additional work beyond the initial scope.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor and materials so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges—just honest pricing for quality work that lasts.
Yes, we stand behind our chimney repairs with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair and materials used, but you’ll have written documentation of what’s covered and for how long.
Our goal is repairs that last for years, not months. We use quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate and follow industry best practices for installation. If something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we’ll make it right at no cost to you.
We also provide guidance on proper chimney maintenance to help you protect your investment. Simple steps like regular inspections and keeping the cap in good condition can extend the life of your repairs significantly.
