Your home becomes safer. That constant worry about structural damage or collapse? Gone. The endless cycle of repairs that never quite fix everything? Over.
You get a chimney built to handle Long Island’s weather—from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles. No more water damage creeping into your home. No more drafts or efficiency problems with your heating system.
The value of your East Moriches home stays protected. When potential buyers see a professionally replaced chimney, they see one less major expense to worry about. You’ve already handled the big-ticket item they were dreading.
We’ve been serving East Moriches and surrounding Long Island communities for years. We understand what coastal weather does to masonry and how local building codes affect your project.
We’re not the cheapest option—and that’s actually good news for you. You’re investing in materials that won’t fail in three years and workmanship that won’t leave you calling someone else to fix our mistakes.
Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a complete rebuild or partial reconstruction. We handle permits, cleanup, and all the details that separate professional work from weekend warriors with trucks.
First, we assess your current chimney structure and determine exactly what needs replacing. Sometimes it’s the entire chimney. Sometimes it’s just the upper portion or the liner. We’ll tell you the truth about what you actually need.
Next, we handle all permits and prep work. Your property gets protected with tarps and barriers. We remove the old chimney systematically, salvaging any reusable materials when possible.
Then we rebuild using materials designed for Long Island’s climate. New foundation work if needed, proper flashing, quality masonry or prefab systems depending on your home’s requirements. Everything gets inspected and tested before we call it complete. Finally, we clean up everything—you won’t find debris in your yard weeks later.

Every chimney replacement includes structural assessment, permit handling, complete removal of existing chimney, and professional installation of your new system. We use materials rated for Long Island’s coastal conditions—not the cheapest options that’ll fail in five years.
East Moriches homes often need special attention to foundation work due to sandy soil conditions. We account for local factors like wind exposure from the bay and salt air that accelerates deterioration. Your new chimney gets built to handle what this area throws at it.
All debris removal, site cleanup, and final inspections are included. No surprise charges for hauling away the old materials or fixing damage to your landscaping. The job isn’t done until your property looks better than when we started.
Look for obvious structural problems: leaning, large cracks in the masonry, or pieces falling off. But the real indicators are often hidden—water damage inside your home, white staining on exterior bricks, or rust on the damper.
If you’re spending money on repairs every few years, replacement usually makes more financial sense. A properly built chimney should last decades without major maintenance. When repair costs start adding up to half the replacement cost, you’re throwing good money after bad.
We’ll give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a liner replacement or partial rebuild is sufficient. But when the structure is compromised, trying to patch it creates safety risks and wastes your money.
Most complete replacements take 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity. Weather can extend this—we don’t work in rain or high winds when dealing with structural work.
Permit approval adds time upfront, usually 1-2 weeks in Suffolk County. We handle all the paperwork, but the county sets the timeline. Starting the project without proper permits creates problems later, so we do this right.
The actual work happens in phases: removal (usually one day), foundation and structural work (1-2 days), then building up the new chimney and finishing work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Masonry chimneys built with quality materials and proper flashing handle our climate well, but they require skilled installation. Prefab metal systems can be excellent choices for certain applications—they’re often more affordable and faster to install.
The key is using materials rated for coastal conditions. Salt air accelerates corrosion, so cheap metal components fail quickly. Quality stainless steel liners and proper waterproofing are non-negotiable here.
Your home’s style, heating system, and budget all factor into the best choice. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are definitely wrong choices that’ll cost you later.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required in East Moriches and Suffolk County. Chimney replacement typically requires building permits, and the work needs to be inspected before it’s considered complete.
Trying to skip permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. Unpermitted work can actually decrease your home’s value and create liability issues.
We know local building codes and what inspectors look for. The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and we factor this into your project timeline. All permit fees are included in your project cost—no surprise charges later.
Complete replacement typically costs $3,000-$8,000 depending on size and materials, while major repairs often run $1,000-$3,000 each time. If you’re facing your second or third major repair bill, replacement usually makes financial sense.
Consider the hidden costs of ongoing repairs: water damage to your home’s interior, energy efficiency losses, and the hassle of repeated service calls. A properly replaced chimney should last 20-30 years without major maintenance.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement costs for your specific situation. Sometimes repairs make sense, but when the structure is failing, trying to patch it is like putting bandaids on a broken bone.
We systematically remove and dispose of all old materials, including bricks, mortar, metal components, and any damaged flashing or roofing materials. Reusable bricks are sometimes salvaged for other projects if you’re interested.
All debris gets hauled away as part of the job—you won’t have piles of old masonry sitting in your yard for weeks. We use proper disposal methods for any hazardous materials like old flashing or sealants.
Site cleanup is included in every project. Your landscaping gets protected during the work, and we repair any damage caused by equipment access. The job isn’t complete until your property looks better than when we started.
