You’re not just getting a rebuilt chimney. You’re getting a structure that won’t leak when Long Island storms roll through, won’t let carbon monoxide seep into your home, and won’t turn into a $15,000 emergency two winters from now.
A proper chimney replacement means your flue liner is intact and code-compliant. Your flashing is sealed tight against water intrusion. Your chimney cap keeps animals and debris out while letting smoke escape properly. And your masonry work can handle another few decades of coastal weather without crumbling.
Most importantly, you’re getting peace of mind. No more wondering if that crack is serious. No more worrying about what’s happening inside the flue where you can’t see. Just a chimney system that works the way it’s supposed to, inspected and built to current safety standards.
We’ve been handling chimney replacement, roof work, and exterior projects throughout East Shoreham and Suffolk County for years. Owner Alban runs the projects personally, which means you’re not dealing with a different crew every day or getting passed around to whoever’s available.
We know what Long Island weather does to chimneys. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry. The coastal moisture that corrodes flashing. The storms that rip off chimney caps and let water pour straight down into your flue. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to rebuild it right the first time.
Our customers come back for multiple projects because the work holds up and the pricing is fair. No runaround. No inflated estimates. Just honest assessments and quality work from people who live and work in your community.
First, we inspect your chimney from top to bottom. That means getting on the roof, looking inside the flue with proper equipment, and checking the masonry, flashing, and cap. We’re looking for structural damage, liner deterioration, and water intrusion points. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what needs to happen.
Once you approve the work, we protect your property. Tarps go down to catch debris. Your landscaping gets covered. Then we carefully dismantle the damaged sections, whether that’s the entire stack or specific components like the liner or cap. If your flue is collapsing inside, we rebuild it with a stainless steel liner that’s properly sized for your heating system.
The rebuild includes new masonry work if needed, properly installed flashing that’s sealed against your roof, and a quality chimney cap that keeps weather and animals out. We clean up completely when we’re done. No debris left behind, no damage to your yard, and no wondering if the job was finished properly. You get a chimney that’s safe, functional, and built to last.

A complete chimney replacement in East Shoreham isn’t just stacking bricks. It’s a system that has to work together. Your chimney liner replacement ensures combustion gases vent safely without leaking into your home. A deteriorating liner is one of the most dangerous defects because carbon monoxide can seep through cracks you can’t see.
Chimney flashing replacement is critical in our area. Long Island gets hit with heavy rain and coastal storms that find every weak point in your roof. If your flashing isn’t installed correctly and sealed tight, water will get in. That leads to rot in your roof deck, damage to your interior walls, and eventually structural problems that cost exponentially more to fix.
Your chimney cap replacement keeps rain, snow, and animals out of your flue while allowing proper ventilation. Without a functioning cap, you’re inviting water damage and blockages that can cause dangerous backdrafts. If your chimney stack itself is damaged, we rebuild it with proper materials and techniques that account for Long Island’s weather patterns. Everything gets done to code, documented for your insurance, and built to protect your home and family for the long term.
The cost depends entirely on what needs to be replaced and how extensive the damage is. A chimney cap replacement might run a few hundred dollars. A complete chimney liner replacement typically costs several thousand. A full chimney stack replacement that requires rebuilding from the roofline up can reach $10,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on height and complexity.
Here’s what affects the price: the extent of masonry damage, whether your liner needs replacing, if your flashing has failed, and how much of the structure needs to be rebuilt. A chimney that’s been leaking for years will cost more to fix than one where you caught the problem early.
We give you upfront pricing after we inspect your chimney. No surprises, no padding the estimate. You’ll know exactly what the work costs and why before we start. Most homeowners in East Shoreham are dealing with properties worth over $500,000, and protecting that investment with proper chimney work now saves you from much more expensive emergency repairs down the road.
Most chimney replacement projects take between two to five days, depending on the scope of work. A straightforward chimney cap and flashing replacement might be done in a day. A complete rebuild with liner replacement and masonry work takes longer.
Weather plays a role too. We’re not going to rush a job or work in conditions that compromise quality. Long Island weather can be unpredictable, and some parts of chimney work require dry conditions and proper curing time for materials like mortar and sealants.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate. You’ll know when we’re starting, what to expect each day, and when the job will be finished. We work efficiently without cutting corners, and we clean up completely at the end of each day so your property isn’t left in chaos. The goal is to get your chimney safe and functional as quickly as possible while doing the work right.
If you’re seeing large cracks in the masonry, crumbling bricks, or sections of your chimney that are leaning or separating from your house, you’re likely past the point of simple repairs. Water stains on your ceiling near the chimney or in your attic are a red flag that your flashing has failed or your liner is compromised.
Inside your home, if you smell smoke when you use your fireplace or notice soot building up in rooms, your flue liner may be damaged. This is dangerous because it means combustion gases aren’t venting properly. Carbon monoxide can seep through cracks in a deteriorating liner, and you won’t smell it or see it until someone gets sick.
Another sign is visible damage to your chimney cap or the top of your stack. If the crown is cracked and crumbling, water is getting into your chimney structure and causing damage from the inside out. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes. What might have been a liner replacement becomes a full rebuild because water damage has compromised the entire structure. Early intervention saves money and keeps your family safe.
It depends on what caused the damage. If your chimney was damaged by a covered event like a storm, lightning strike, or falling tree, your homeowners insurance will likely cover at least part of the replacement cost. You’ll need to document the damage and get a professional assessment.
If the damage is from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or gradual deterioration over time, insurance typically won’t cover it. That’s considered a homeowner maintenance responsibility. Insurance companies expect you to maintain your chimney and address problems before they become catastrophic.
We provide detailed documentation of the damage and the work required, which helps with insurance claims when applicable. We’ll explain what we’re seeing and give you a written estimate that you can submit to your insurance company. For East Shoreham homeowners, keeping up with chimney maintenance and addressing issues early is the best way to avoid situations where you’re facing a large, uncovered expense. Regular inspections catch problems while they’re still manageable and potentially covered under your policy if they’re storm-related.
No. If your chimney needs replacement, continuing to use your fireplace or heating system is dangerous. A compromised flue liner can allow carbon monoxide and other combustion gases to leak into your home. Damaged masonry or flashing can lead to chimney fires or structural collapse.
Even if your fireplace seems to be working fine, the damage you can’t see is the most dangerous. Cracks inside your flue liner don’t always show obvious symptoms until someone gets sick from carbon monoxide exposure or a small chimney fire turns into a house fire.
We understand it’s inconvenient, especially during Long Island winters when you want to use your fireplace. But the risk isn’t worth it. Once we assess your chimney and determine it needs replacement, the safest course is to stop using it until the work is complete. We work as quickly as possible to get your chimney safe and functional again, but we won’t compromise on safety or quality to shave a day off the timeline. Your family’s safety is more important than convenience.
Yes. Chimney liner replacement and chimney flashing replacement are core parts of what we do. In fact, most complete chimney replacements in East Shoreham require both because they’re the components most vulnerable to Long Island’s weather conditions.
A failing liner is one of the most serious chimney problems you can have. We install stainless steel liners that are properly sized for your heating system and built to last. The liner gets insulated where required by code, and everything is installed to current safety standards. This isn’t something you want done cheaply or by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Flashing is where your chimney meets your roof, and it’s a common failure point. We remove old, damaged flashing and install new flashing that’s properly integrated with your roofing system and sealed against water intrusion. We use quality materials and proven techniques that hold up against the coastal storms and heavy precipitation East Shoreham gets throughout the year. When we’re done, your chimney system works as a complete unit—not just patched together components that will fail again in a few years.
