You’ll sleep better knowing your new chimney won’t leak carbon monoxide into your home or catch fire from creosote buildup. No more worrying about water damage spreading through your walls or wondering if that old chimney will make it through another Long Island winter.
Your home value stays protected. Your heating bills stay reasonable. And you get a chimney system that actually works the way it’s supposed to, year after year.
We’ve been handling full chimney rebuilds across Suffolk County for years. We understand what Gordon Heights homes need because we work in them every day.
When we rebuilt that collapsing chimney on Ashland Street, the homeowner told us it was the first time in fifteen years they felt safe using their fireplace. That’s what proper chimney replacement looks like.
We’re not the cheapest option in Gordon Heights, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in a chimney that won’t need replacing again in ten years.
First, we assess whether you need a partial rebuild from the roofline up or a complete tear-down and replacement. Most Gordon Heights chimneys over 50 years old need the full treatment.
We remove the old chimney carefully, protecting your roof and landscaping. Then we rebuild from the foundation up using proper materials—not the shortcuts that caused your original chimney to fail. New flue liner, proper flashing, crown work that actually keeps water out.
The whole process typically takes 2-3 days depending on the scope. You’ll know exactly what’s happening each step because we explain everything as we go.

Your new chimney gets a stainless steel liner rated for your heating system, proper insulation, and flashing that’s designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. We install a quality crown that actually sheds water instead of absorbing it.
Gordon Heights homes face unique challenges with our coastal weather and older housing stock. Many chimneys here were built in the 1950s and 60s with materials that don’t hold up to decades of freeze-thaw cycles and salt air.
We use modern materials and techniques that address these specific local conditions. Your replacement chimney will handle what Long Island throws at it.
Complete chimney replacement in Gordon Heights typically runs $8,000 to $15,000 depending on height, complexity, and materials. That includes full removal of the old chimney, new construction from foundation up, stainless steel liner, proper flashing, and crown work.
Partial rebuilds from the roofline up cost $4,000 to $8,000. The price difference comes down to how much of your existing chimney can be salvaged. Most Gordon Heights chimneys we see need complete replacement because the problems go deeper than what’s visible from the outside.
Most complete chimney replacements take 2-3 days. Day one is removal and prep work. Day two is the main construction. Day three is finishing work, flashing, and cleanup.
Weather can extend the timeline since we won’t work in rain or high winds for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is doing it right, not doing it fast.
If your chimney is over 50 years old and showing multiple problems—loose bricks, cracked crown, liner issues, leaning—replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. You’ll spend the same money over time but get better results with replacement.
Signs you need replacement include visible structural damage, water infiltration that’s caused interior damage, or a chimney that’s pulling away from the house. If you’re seeing multiple issues at once, that’s your chimney telling you it’s time for a complete rebuild.
Stainless steel liners work best for Gordon Heights because they handle our climate and don’t break down like clay tiles. They’re more expensive upfront but last 30+ years with proper maintenance.
Clay tile liners were common in older Gordon Heights homes but crack easily with freeze-thaw cycles. If you’re doing a complete replacement, stainless steel is worth the investment. It provides better draft, handles temperature changes, and won’t deteriorate from salt air exposure.
Yes, complete chimney replacement requires permits from the Town of Brookhaven. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Brookhaven has specific requirements for chimney construction, especially regarding clearances and materials. We’re familiar with local codes and make sure your replacement meets all current standards. This protects you and ensures proper insurance coverage.
Look for multiple warning signs happening together: loose or missing bricks, white staining on the outside, water stains inside your home, rust on the damper, or animals getting into the chimney easily. Any one of these might be repairable, but multiple issues usually indicate systemic failure.
The biggest red flag is a chimney that’s visibly leaning or pulling away from the house. That’s a structural issue that requires complete replacement. If you’re seeing water damage inside your home from chimney leaks, the problems likely extend beyond what repair can fix.
