You’ll sleep better knowing your new chimney eliminates every safety risk. No more worrying about carbon monoxide leaks, chimney fires, or structural collapse during the next nor’easter.
A complete chimney replacement means you’re done with the cycle of temporary repairs that never really fix the problem. Your new system will handle everything Montauk’s weather throws at it—salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and driving coastal storms.
Most importantly, you’ll have a chimney that actually works the way it should. Proper draft, efficient heating, and zero water intrusion into your home.
Home Team Construction has spent over 10 years solving chimney problems across Suffolk County. We understand what salt air and coastal weather do to masonry, and we build accordingly.
Our team has completed hundreds of chimney replacements for Long Island homeowners. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we use materials specifically chosen to withstand the marine environment that makes Montauk beautiful but tough on chimneys.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who’ve seen every type of chimney failure that happens in coastal areas. We know how to prevent them.
We start with a thorough inspection to determine whether you need partial reconstruction from the roofline up or complete removal and rebuild. Most Montauk chimneys dealing with serious structural issues require full replacement.
First, we safely remove the existing chimney structure and assess the foundation. If foundation work is needed, we handle that before building your new chimney. We use modern materials designed for coastal conditions—stainless steel liners, proper flashing systems, and mortar mixes that resist salt air.
The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on complexity. We protect your property throughout the job and leave your home cleaner than we found it. You’ll get a chimney built to last decades, not years.

Your chimney replacement includes complete removal of the old structure, new foundation work if needed, and installation of every component from the ground up. You get a new stainless steel liner rated for your heating system, proper insulation, and a crown designed to shed Montauk’s heavy rains.
We install new flashing systems that actually prevent water intrusion—not the temporary fixes you’ve probably dealt with before. Your new chimney cap includes spark arrestor and animal screening built for coastal wind conditions.
In Montauk, we see a lot of chimneys that were originally built without considering the marine environment. Your replacement will be engineered specifically for salt air exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and the wind loads that come with being this close to the Atlantic.
Complete chimney replacement in Montauk typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the height of your chimney, accessibility, and extent of foundation work needed. This might seem like a significant investment, but it’s often more cost-effective than continuing to repair a structurally compromised chimney.
The coastal environment here accelerates chimney deterioration, so partial repairs rarely provide lasting solutions. When you factor in the safety risks and ongoing repair costs, complete replacement usually makes the most financial sense. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what’s included so you can make an informed decision.
Montauk’s coastal location creates the perfect storm for chimney deterioration. Salt air penetrates mortar joints and accelerates corrosion of metal components like dampers and flashing. The constant freeze-thaw cycles we experience cause water that’s infiltrated the masonry to expand and contract, creating cracks that get worse each winter.
Add in the driving rains from nor’easters and regular storms, and you have conditions that can destroy a chimney in 15-20 years instead of the 50+ years you’d expect inland. Many older chimneys in Montauk were built before contractors understood these specific challenges, which is why we see so many structural failures.
We can do partial rebuilds from the roofline up if the foundation and lower structure are sound. However, in Montauk, we often find that water damage and salt air exposure have compromised more of the chimney than initially visible. What looks like a crown problem might actually involve deteriorated mortar joints throughout the entire structure.
We always do a complete inspection before recommending partial versus full replacement. If your chimney is leaning, has loose bricks at multiple levels, or shows signs of foundation settling, partial reconstruction won’t solve the underlying problems. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what approach will actually fix your chimney long-term.
Most complete chimney replacements take 2-3 days, weather permitting. Day one involves safe removal of the existing structure and site preparation. Day two focuses on foundation work (if needed) and building the new chimney structure. Day three handles finishing work, flashing installation, and cleanup.
Weather can impact our timeline since we can’t work safely in high winds or heavy rain—both common in Montauk. We schedule around weather forecasts and will reschedule rather than rush the job. The marine environment here requires extra attention to proper curing times for mortar and sealants, so we never compromise quality for speed.
We build specifically for Montauk’s coastal conditions using materials and techniques that most contractors don’t even know about. Our mortar mixes include additives that resist salt air penetration. We use stainless steel components throughout and install flashing systems designed for the wind loads and driving rain you get this close to the ocean.
Most importantly, we’ve been solving chimney problems in Suffolk County for over 10 years. We know which shortcuts lead to callbacks and which materials fail in coastal environments. You’re not getting a generic chimney—you’re getting one engineered for exactly where you live and the weather conditions your home faces.
Yes, we stand behind our chimney replacements with comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the components used, but you’re covered against defects and installation issues. More importantly, we use materials rated for coastal environments, so you won’t see the premature failures that happen with standard chimney components.
We’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time. When we complete your chimney replacement, you’re done dealing with chimney problems for decades. That’s not just a promise—it’s what our 10+ years of experience in Suffolk County has proven time and again.
