Your fireplace works like it should. No more drafts pulling cold air down your chimney. No more water leaking through cracks every time it rains.
You’ll sleep better knowing your family isn’t breathing carbon monoxide or dealing with a fire hazard. Your heating bills go down because your chimney actually draws properly.
Most importantly, you get years of reliable warmth without the constant worry about what might go wrong next.
Home Team Construction has been fixing chimneys in Westhampton and throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand how harsh Long Island winters and coastal weather beat up your chimney system.
We’re not the guys who show up, take your money, and disappear when problems come back. We fix it right the first time because we live here too.
Our team knows the difference between a quick patch job and a real solution. When we’re done with your chimney repair, you won’t need to call someone else in six months.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We use video cameras to see inside your flue and check every component – crown, cap, flashing, mortar joints, and liner.
Then we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it. No surprises, no upselling. Just straight talk about what needs to happen.
Finally, we do the work using materials built for Long Island weather. Whether it’s tuckpointing your chimney masonry, replacing your crown, or fixing flashing leaks, we handle it efficiently so you can get back to enjoying your fireplace.

We handle every type of chimney problem Westhampton homeowners face. Chimney crown repair when water’s getting in from the top. Flue repair when you’re getting poor draft or safety concerns. Chimney cap replacement when animals or weather have damaged your existing cap.
Chimney flashing leak repair is huge here because of our coastal weather patterns. We also do chimney waterproofing to prevent future moisture damage and minor chimney crack repair before they become major structural issues.
For older homes in Westhampton, we often handle complete fireplace chimney repair projects where multiple systems need attention. Our chimney inspection and repair service catches problems early, saving you thousands down the road.
Most chimney repairs in Westhampton range from $300 to $1,500, depending on what needs fixing. Simple mortar repairs or chimney cap replacement typically cost less than major crown reconstruction or flue liner replacement.
The key is catching problems early. A $400 tuckpointing job today prevents a $3,000 chimney rebuild next year. We always give you an upfront estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Weather damage from Long Island storms often affects pricing because multiple components get damaged at once. But we work with your budget and prioritize safety-critical repairs first.
Water stains on your ceiling or walls near the fireplace are the biggest red flag. White staining on your exterior chimney bricks means water’s getting in and dissolving the mortar.
If your damper is hard to open or close, or you see rust around the fireplace, that’s water damage happening inside your chimney system. Pieces of brick or mortar in your fireplace mean your chimney structure is deteriorating.
Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney indicates draft problems or blockages. Any of these issues need immediate attention because they affect your family’s safety and your home’s structural integrity.
Most chimney repairs take one day to complete. Simple jobs like chimney cap replacement or minor tuckpointing often finish in a few hours.
Larger projects like crown repair or extensive masonry work might take two days, especially if we need to let materials cure properly. Emergency repairs for safety issues get priority scheduling.
Weather affects timing since we can’t do certain repairs in rain or extreme cold. But we work efficiently because we know you want your fireplace working, especially during Long Island’s cold months.
Yes, we handle emergency chimney repairs when safety is at risk. If you smell gas, see smoke entering your home, or notice structural damage after a storm, call us immediately.
Emergency situations include chimney fires, carbon monoxide concerns, or major water leaks causing interior damage. We prioritize these calls because your family’s safety comes first.
For non-emergency issues like minor leaks or cosmetic damage, we typically schedule within a few days. But we’ll always advise you over the phone about immediate safety steps while we arrange service.
Water damage is the biggest issue we see in Westhampton because of coastal weather and freeze-thaw cycles. Chimney crowns crack from temperature changes, and flashing fails from wind-driven rain.
Salt air affects metal components faster here than inland areas. Chimney caps and dampers corrode quicker, and we replace them more frequently than in other parts of New York.
Masonry deterioration happens faster too because of moisture exposure. The mortar joints between bricks weaken, requiring tuckpointing to prevent structural problems. These aren’t defects – they’re normal wear patterns for Long Island’s climate.
Most chimney problems can be repaired cost-effectively. Unless your chimney has major structural damage or the foundation is compromised, repair is usually the smart choice.
We recommend replacement when repair costs exceed 60% of a new chimney’s price, or when multiple major components need work simultaneously. Age alone isn’t a factor – we’ve restored 100-year-old chimneys that work perfectly.
During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what condition your chimney is in and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. We don’t make money by overselling – we make money by solving your problems correctly.
