You’ll sleep better knowing your family is safe from carbon monoxide and fire hazards. No more water stains on your ceiling or cold drafts in winter. Your chimney will work efficiently, reducing energy costs and protecting your home investment.
The stress of wondering if your chimney is safe disappears. You get a system that functions properly, looks good, and won’t surprise you with emergency repairs next season.
Home Team Construction has earned the trust of West Islip homeowners through consistent, quality work. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s coastal weather brings to your chimney system.
Our licensed and insured team has handled everything from simple flashing repairs to complete chimney rebuilds in your neighborhood. We know these older homes well – many built in the 1960s – and the specific issues they face.
When we say we’ll fix it right, we mean it. That’s why customers call us back for multiple projects over the years.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system – inside and out, top to bottom. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain why it needs fixing. No surprises, no upselling.
Next, we provide a detailed written estimate with clear pricing. Once you approve, we schedule the work at your convenience and protect your property with tarps and coverings.
During repairs, we handle everything from minor mortar work to major crown rebuilds, flashing replacement, or waterproofing. We clean up completely when finished and walk through everything with you to ensure you’re satisfied.

We handle all types of chimney repairs common to West Islip homes. Masonry tuckpointing fixes crumbling mortar joints. Crown repairs stop water infiltration from the top. Flashing work prevents leaks where your chimney meets the roof.
Cap replacements keep animals and debris out while allowing proper ventilation. Flue repairs ensure dangerous gases exit safely. Minor crack repairs prevent bigger problems down the road.
Living near the water means your chimney faces salt air, wind, and moisture year-round. We use materials and techniques that stand up to these conditions, giving you repairs that last in our coastal environment.
Most chimney repairs in West Islip range from $160 to $750 for standard work, with the average homeowner spending around $455. Simple fixes like sealing small cracks start around $100, while major repairs like crown rebuilds can cost $900 to $2,200.
The final cost depends on the extent of damage, materials needed, and accessibility of your chimney. We always provide free written estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Living near the water creates specific challenges for chimneys. Salt air accelerates mortar deterioration, requiring tuckpointing repairs. Crown damage from freeze-thaw cycles is frequent due to our weather patterns.
Flashing problems are common where chimneys meet rooflines, especially on older homes. Water infiltration through damaged masonry or missing caps leads to interior damage. Many homes also need flue liner repairs due to age and coastal conditions affecting the chimney interior.
Annual inspections are crucial in our coastal environment. Salt air, winter storms, and freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on chimney systems faster than in other areas.
If you use your fireplace regularly, inspection becomes even more important to check for creosote buildup and structural issues. Catching problems early prevents small $100 fixes from becoming $2,000+ repairs later.
Most chimney problems can be fixed without complete rebuilds. We often repair crowns, replace flashing, tuckpoint mortar joints, or install new caps while keeping the existing structure intact.
Complete rebuilds are only necessary when the chimney is leaning, has severe structural damage, or when the brick and mortar have deteriorated beyond repair. During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what needs fixing and explain all your options clearly.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. Labor warranties extend up to 10 years, and material warranties can go up to 30 years depending on what we install.
We’re also fully licensed and insured, giving you additional protection. If any issues arise with our work, we’ll return to make it right at no additional cost to you.
Coastal conditions accelerate chimney deterioration significantly. Salt air corrodes metal components faster and breaks down mortar joints more quickly than inland areas experience.
We use specialized materials designed for marine environments – stainless steel components, marine-grade sealants, and mortar mixes that resist salt damage. Our repair techniques account for the constant moisture and temperature fluctuations your chimney faces living this close to the water.
