Hear From Our Clients
You wake up knowing your family is safe from carbon monoxide leaks and fire hazards. Your heating system runs efficiently through Long Island winters without unexpected breakdowns or sky-high energy bills.
Water stays outside where it belongs instead of seeping through damaged masonry into your walls and ceiling. Your home insurance stays valid because everything meets current safety codes.
When friends visit, they see a sturdy, well-maintained chimney that adds value to your property instead of an eyesore that screams “deferred maintenance.”
We’ve been serving Bay Shore homeowners who need straight answers about their chimney problems. We understand how Long Island’s coastal weather affects masonry and what materials actually last in this climate.
We don’t inflate estimates or sell unnecessary work. When we inspect your chimney, you get an honest assessment of what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Our team knows Bay Shore’s older homes and the common issues that come with original construction from decades past. We show up when scheduled and complete projects efficiently.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from foundation to crown. We check structural integrity, assess water damage, and identify exactly what needs replacement versus repair.
You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises, no hidden costs, no pressure to decide immediately.
During replacement, we protect your property with tarps and proper containment. We remove the damaged chimney safely and rebuild using materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. All work meets current building codes and passes inspection.
We clean up completely when finished. Your new chimney is ready for decades of reliable service.

Full chimney rebuild from foundation up when structural damage is extensive. Partial reconstruction for chimneys with localized damage to specific sections. Masonry chimney replacement using brick, stone, or block construction.
Chimney liner replacement with stainless steel systems designed for your heating type. Structural replacement for leaning or settling chimneys that pose safety risks. Complete removal and replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective.
In Bay Shore’s coastal environment, we use materials that resist salt air corrosion and moisture penetration. Every replacement includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and crown installation to prevent future water damage.
Chimney replacement in Bay Shore typically costs between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on the size, height, materials, and extent of replacement needed. A partial reconstruction might cost less if only specific sections need rebuilding.
Factors affecting price include accessibility, type of masonry materials, liner installation, and whether you need complete removal down to the foundation or just rebuilding from the roofline up. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront.
The investment protects your home from water damage that could cost thousands more in interior repairs. Quality replacement also improves heating efficiency and home value.
Replace your chimney when structural damage is extensive, the foundation is compromised, or repair costs approach replacement costs. If your chimney is leaning, has major cracks throughout the masonry, or shows signs of settling, replacement is usually the safer option.
Multiple failed repairs often indicate underlying structural problems that require complete rebuilding. Water damage that has affected the internal structure also typically requires replacement rather than patching.
In Bay Shore’s older homes, chimneys built decades ago may not meet current safety codes. Replacement ensures compliance and eliminates ongoing maintenance headaches.
Most chimney replacements in Bay Shore take 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity of the job. Weather conditions can affect the timeline since masonry work requires proper curing conditions.
Partial reconstructions may take 1-2 days if only specific sections need rebuilding. Complete removal and replacement from foundation up typically requires the full week to ensure proper installation and curing.
We schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and protect your property throughout the process. All debris is removed and the work area is cleaned completely when finished.
In Bay Shore’s coastal environment, we recommend materials that resist salt air corrosion and moisture penetration. Quality brick with proper mortar joints performs well when combined with effective waterproofing systems.
Stainless steel liners are essential for Long Island’s climate conditions and provide superior durability compared to clay tile liners. Proper flashing and crown construction using weather-resistant materials prevents water infiltration.
We avoid materials that deteriorate quickly in coastal conditions. The initial investment in quality materials saves money long-term by preventing premature replacement and ongoing repair costs.
Yes, chimney replacement in Bay Shore requires building permits to ensure work meets current safety codes and structural requirements. We handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections as part of our service.
Permits protect you by ensuring proper installation and compliance with local building codes. This documentation is important for insurance purposes and future home sales.
Working without permits can create liability issues and problems when selling your home. Professional contractors always obtain proper permits and ensure all work passes required inspections.
Yes, partial chimney reconstruction is often possible when damage is localized to specific sections. We can rebuild from the roofline up if the foundation and lower structure are sound, or replace just the upper sections if that’s where the damage occurs.
Partial replacement costs significantly less than complete rebuilding while still addressing safety concerns and structural problems. We assess the entire chimney system to determine what sections actually need replacement.
However, if multiple sections show damage or the foundation is compromised, complete replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs that may fail over time.
