Your new chimney works exactly like it should. No more carbon monoxide seeping through cracked clay liners. No more water destroying your home’s structure during Long Island storms. No more wondering if that burning smell means your family’s in danger.
You get real protection that handles Brookhaven’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without failing. Your chimney draws properly, burns efficiently, and keeps deadly gases outside where they belong. Most importantly, you stop worrying about fire hazards every time you use your fireplace.
The peace of mind alone is worth it. But you also get lower heating bills, higher home value, and a chimney system built to last decades in our coastal climate.
We’ve rebuilt chimneys throughout Brookhaven for over a decade. We’ve worked on everything from 200-year-old colonials in the historic district to modern split-levels near the water. We understand how Long Island’s salt air and freeze-thaw cycles destroy chimneys differently than other regions.
Our crew lives here. We know Brookhaven’s building codes, understand which materials last in our climate, and have relationships with local inspectors that keep projects moving smoothly. When you hire us, you’re working with contractors who’ve built our reputation in this community.
We’re licensed, insured, and warranty everything we do. More importantly, we’re the company your neighbors trust when their chimney replacement absolutely has to be done right.
We start with a complete structural assessment from your chimney’s foundation to the cap. You get photos of problem areas and a clear explanation of what needs replacement and why. No scare tactics or pressure—just honest information about what’s failing and what it means for your safety.
Next, we handle permits and code compliance so you don’t have to navigate Brookhaven’s requirements. Our crew removes your old chimney carefully, protecting your roof and landscaping throughout the process. We rebuild using materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s weather, installing proper stainless steel liners, waterproof flashing, and caps that actually keep moisture out.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through your new system. You get comprehensive warranties on materials and workmanship, plus a maintenance schedule that keeps everything working properly for decades. The whole process typically takes 4-6 days, depending on your chimney’s complexity.

Your chimney replacement includes everything needed for long-term safety and performance. We install stainless steel liners that won’t crack like the clay tiles in most Brookhaven homes built before 1980. You get proper insulation, correct sizing for your heating system, and flashing systems designed to handle our area’s harsh weather.
For Brookhaven homes, we pay special attention to foundation stability and water protection. Many local chimneys develop structural problems due to our coastal climate and soil conditions. We address these underlying issues so your new chimney stays straight and watertight for decades.
Our masonry work matches your home’s architectural style while using modern materials that resist salt air corrosion and freeze damage. Whether you have a historic colonial or contemporary ranch, your new chimney looks right at home while providing superior protection against the elements that destroy older chimneys in our area.
Complete chimney replacement in Brookhaven typically costs $10,000 to $25,000, depending on your home’s height, accessibility, and the extent of work needed. Partial rebuilds from the roofline up cost less than foundation-to-cap replacement. Complex jobs requiring foundation stabilization or multiple flue systems cost more.
Brookhaven costs run higher than national averages due to our area’s labor costs and strict building codes. However, quality replacement prevents much costlier emergency repairs and protects your home’s value. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden charges, and we can discuss financing options that make the investment manageable.
Most chimney replacements take 4-6 working days, depending on complexity and weather conditions. Straightforward rebuilds typically take 4 days, while jobs involving foundation work or multiple flues can take up to a week. We work continuously once started rather than leaving your home exposed.
Long Island weather can cause delays, especially during winter months. We communicate any schedule changes immediately and protect your home throughout the process. Once we begin, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality workmanship that lasts.
Yes, Brookhaven requires permits for chimney replacement, and we handle all applications and inspections for you. The town mandates structural permits for rebuilds and requires inspections to ensure code compliance. This protects you legally and ensures your homeowner’s insurance remains valid.
We maintain good relationships with Brookhaven building officials and know exactly what documentation they require. This means faster permit approval and smoother inspections. You don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy or worry about code compliance—we handle everything so your project proceeds without delays or complications.
Replacement makes sense when structural integrity is compromised—leaning, extensive water damage, or failed liner systems. Repair works for localized issues like minor crown cracks or loose bricks. In Brookhaven’s climate, chimneys over 30 years old often reach a point where replacement provides better long-term value than repeated repairs.
If you’re spending money on frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We’ll honestly assess your chimney’s condition and explain whether repair or replacement offers better value for your specific situation. Our goal is the most cost-effective solution that keeps your family safe.
Absolutely. We design replacements specifically for Long Island’s coastal climate challenges. Your new chimney uses materials that resist freeze-thaw damage and salt air corrosion that destroy older systems. Modern stainless steel liners don’t crack like clay tiles common in Brookhaven’s historic homes.
We install advanced waterproofing and flashing systems that keep moisture out completely. Many older chimneys were built before modern understanding of water infiltration damage. Your replacement includes moisture barriers and drainage systems engineered for Long Island’s harsh weather patterns, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
Key warning signs include visible leaning, extensive mortar deterioration, multiple crown cracks, or white staining indicating water damage. If your liner is cracked or missing and the masonry shows significant deterioration, replacement typically costs less than extensive repairs over time.
Most Brookhaven chimneys built before 1980 eventually need replacement due to outdated construction methods and materials unsuited for our climate. During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what’s failing and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. You get an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
