Your chimney stops being a liability. No more watching cracks spread after every freeze. No more wondering if that lean is getting worse or if water’s seeping into your walls.
You get a structure that handles what Long Island throws at it—the salt air, the freeze-thaw cycles, the storms that roll in off the water. The kind of chimney replacement that doesn’t need a redo in five years because someone cut corners.
And you stop losing sleep over whether your family’s safe. A properly rebuilt chimney means no carbon monoxide sneaking in, no collapse risk hanging over your head, and no emergency calls when the next nor’easter hits. Just a chimney that does its job without the drama.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade fixing chimneys across Suffolk County, including right here in Bohemia. We’ve seen the aftermath of cheap fixes and fly-by-night contractors—chimneys that failed within months, homeowners stuck with bigger bills than if they’d done it right the first time.
That’s why we show you exactly what’s wrong before we touch anything. You see the deteriorating flue, the cracked crown, the failing foundation. Then you decide, with all the information, not half the story.
Bohemia’s homes—many built in the ’70s—are hitting that age where chimneys need serious attention. We understand these structures, how they were built, and what it takes to rebuild them to handle another few decades of Long Island weather. Our chimney collapse prevention approach addresses root causes, not just visible symptoms.
First, we inspect the entire structure—not just the visible damage. We’re looking at the foundation, the flue liner, the crown, the flashing. You need to know if this is a partial rebuild from the roofline up or a complete tear-down.
Once we’ve assessed everything, you get a written estimate that spells out exactly what we’re doing and what it costs. No vague line items, no “we’ll see when we get in there” pricing.
Then comes the actual work. We carefully dismantle the damaged sections, protecting your roof and landscaping in the process. If the foundation needs reinforcement, we handle that before building back up. New bricks get laid with proper mortar joints, matched to your home’s existing look. We install new flashing to seal against your roof, a properly constructed crown to shed water, and a quality cap to keep out rain and animals.
The whole time, we’re following Suffolk County building codes and using materials that can handle coastal weather. When we’re done, you get a chimney that’s structurally sound and built to last—not just patched together. This is affordable chimney renovation that prioritizes quality over quick fixes.

A proper chimney replacement in Bohemia, NY isn’t just swapping out bricks. It’s addressing the root causes that led to failure in the first place.
You’re getting a full structural chimney assessment that identifies foundation issues, water damage, and code violations. In Bohemia, where most homes sit on older foundations and face constant moisture from our proximity to the coast, this step catches problems that would sabotage even a brand-new chimney.
The replacement includes proper waterproofing—critical here where freeze-thaw cycles destroy inadequate sealing within a few winters. We’re talking about correctly installed flashing that actually keeps water out, a crown built to shed precipitation rather than trap it, and materials rated for the temperature swings Long Island sees.
You also get a chimney built to current safety standards. That means proper clearances, a liner that vents correctly, and construction that won’t become a fire hazard or carbon monoxide risk. For Bohemia homeowners with properties valued over $500,000, this isn’t just about function—it’s about protecting your investment from the kind of damage that tanks resale value and creates insurance nightmares. Our emergency chimney services are available when you need immediate attention to prevent further damage.
If your chimney is leaning, has extensive cracking throughout the structure, or shows signs of foundation failure, you’re looking at replacement. Same goes if the bricks are spalling badly or if previous repairs have failed.
Repairs work when damage is localized—a cracked crown, some repointing, damaged flashing. But when you’re seeing multiple issues or structural problems, repairs become expensive band-aids that don’t address the real problem. Chimney collapse prevention requires addressing structural integrity, not just cosmetic fixes.
We’ll show you exactly what’s happening with your chimney. You’ll see photos of the damage, understand what’s causing it, and get a straight answer about whether chimney repair Long Island or full replacement makes sense for your situation and budget.
Complete chimney replacement in Suffolk County typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on height, complexity, and whether foundation work is needed. Partial rebuilds from the roofline up usually cost less.
Here’s what drives the price: A two-story chimney requires more materials and labor than a single-story. If we’re also replacing the flue liner, installing a new cap, or repairing the foundation, costs increase. Matching specific brick types or dealing with difficult roof access affects pricing too.
The real question isn’t just cost—it’s value. Spending $12,000 on a proper replacement beats spending $3,000 on repairs that fail, then facing an $18,000 emergency rebuild when the chimney collapses during a storm. We give you upfront pricing so you can make that call with real numbers, not guesses. This is affordable chimney renovation that actually protects your investment.
Most complete chimney replacements take 3-5 days, weather permitting. Partial rebuilds can be faster, sometimes 2-3 days.
Day one usually involves careful dismantling and debris removal. Days two and three focus on foundation work (if needed) and rebuilding the structure. Final days cover flashing installation, crown construction, and finishing details.
Weather matters more than you’d think. We can’t lay mortar in freezing temperatures or during heavy rain—it won’t cure properly and you’ll have problems within months. That’s why we schedule realistically and don’t rush work just to meet a deadline. Better to wait for proper conditions than deliver a chimney that fails. If you need emergency chimney services, we’ll work with you to find the fastest safe solution.
Not if it’s done correctly. We protect your roof with tarps and proper scaffolding. Landscaping near the chimney gets covered before we start dismantling anything.
The key is controlled demolition. We’re not just knocking things over and hoping for the best. Bricks come down in manageable sections, debris goes into containers, and we’re constantly monitoring for any risk to surrounding structures.
Your property should look clean when we’re done—no scattered bricks, no damaged shingles, no crushed plants. We haul away all debris and leave your yard in the same condition we found it, just with a new chimney. This attention to detail is what separates licensed chimney contractors from fly-by-night operations.
Yes. Any significant chimney work in Suffolk County requires permits and inspections to ensure the work meets building and fire codes.
We handle the permit process as part of the job. That includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything passes. You shouldn’t have to navigate town hall bureaucracy or worry about code compliance.
Permits aren’t just red tape—they protect you. They ensure the chimney is built safely, vents properly, and won’t create liability issues if you ever sell your home. Inspectors catch problems that could turn dangerous down the road. It’s worth the extra step.
We stop, show you what we found, and explain your options before doing anything extra. No surprise bills, no “we already started so you have to pay” situations.
Sometimes hidden damage only becomes visible once we remove the outer bricks—a deteriorated flue liner, rotted framing, foundation cracks that weren’t apparent from outside. When that happens, you get photos, a clear explanation of what’s wrong, and pricing for addressing it.
You decide whether to handle it now or later. Obviously, some things make sense to fix while we’re already there—replacing a damaged liner is way easier with the chimney open. But you’re always in control of what gets done and what it costs. This transparent approach to masonry chimney installation in Bohemia, NY is how we’ve built our reputation over the past decade.
