A new chimney means you stop worrying about carbon monoxide leaks, chimney fires, and water damage eating away at your home’s structure. You get efficient heating that doesn’t waste money on energy bills.
Your fireplace or heating system works the way it should. No more smoke backing up into your house. No more cold drafts. No more wondering if that crack in the masonry is going to turn into a major problem next winter.
The peace of mind alone is worth it. You also get a chimney built to handle Long Island’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles and modern high-efficiency heating systems—something many older masonry chimneys in North Lindenhurst simply can’t do safely anymore.
We’ve been handling chimney replacement and structural work in North Lindenhurst and throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand how Long Island’s weather destroys chimneys—the freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry, the coastal moisture that accelerates deterioration, and the wind-driven rain that finds every weak spot.
We’re not the guys who show up, give you a scary estimate, and disappear. We explain what’s actually wrong, why it needs fixing, and what your realistic options are. No pressure, no games, no upselling.
Most of our chimney replacement work comes from referrals because we do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’re going to do it, for the price we quoted. Simple as that.
First, we come out and give you a thorough assessment. We’re looking at your chimney’s structure, the foundation, the flue liner, the crown, the flashing—everything. You get a clear explanation of what needs to be done and why, not a sales pitch.
If you decide to move forward, we handle permits and prep work. We protect your property and set up safely. Then we carefully remove the old chimney, right down to where it meets your roofline or foundation, depending on what needs replacing.
The full chimney rebuild uses proper materials for Long Island’s climate—quality masonry, appropriate mortar, stainless steel liners rated for your heating system, and flashing that actually keeps water out. We install everything to current codes, which means your new chimney will handle modern heating appliances safely and efficiently. We clean up completely when we’re done.

Your complete chimney replacement includes everything needed for a code-compliant installation. That means new masonry work from the foundation up, a properly sized stainless steel liner for your specific heating system, a new chimney crown that actually sheds water, and flashing that creates a watertight seal with your roof.
In North Lindenhurst, we see plenty of chimneys built decades ago when heating systems were completely different. Your chimney structural replacement will be designed for today’s high-efficiency furnaces and boilers, with proper venting that prevents condensation problems and ensures safe operation.
We also install a quality chimney cap with spark arrestor mesh. This keeps animals out, prevents downdrafts, and stops sparks from landing on your roof or your neighbor’s property. Small detail that prevents big problems.
Everything comes with our warranty on both materials and workmanship, because a masonry chimney replacement should be something you do once and forget about for decades.
The cost depends on your chimney’s height, the complexity of the job, and what materials you choose, but most full chimney replacements in North Lindenhurst run between $8,000 and $15,000. That includes everything—removal of the old chimney, new masonry work, stainless steel liner, crown, flashing, and cap.
Chimney partial reconstruction or chimney liner replacement costs less, typically $3,000 to $7,000 depending on what needs to be done. We always give you a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for, so there are no surprises.
The investment makes sense when you consider that a properly built chimney lasts 50-100 years, prevents costly water damage to your home, and keeps your heating system running safely and efficiently.
Most complete chimney replacements take 3-5 days, depending on the height of your chimney and weather conditions. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush the important stuff like letting mortar cure properly or ensuring all the flashing details are perfect.
Day one is usually chimney removal and prep work. Days two and three are the rebuild—laying up the new masonry, installing the liner, and getting everything structurally sound. Day four is finishing work like the crown, flashing, and cap installation.
We protect your home throughout the process with tarps and plastic sheeting, and we clean up completely each day. If weather delays us, we make sure everything is properly covered and secure until we can get back to work.
Yes, chimney replacement requires a building permit in North Lindenhurst, and we handle that process for you. The permit ensures the work meets current building codes and safety standards, which is important for your insurance and when you eventually sell your home.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and we don’t start work until it’s approved. This protects you and ensures the job is done right. Some contractors skip permits to save time or money, but that creates problems down the road if there are issues or if you need to prove the work was done legally.
We include permit costs in our estimate, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Once the work is complete, we schedule the required inspections to close out the permit properly.
Sometimes, yes. If the foundation and lower portion of your chimney are solid, we might be able to do a chimney partial reconstruction of just the upper section that’s damaged. This can save you money while still solving your safety and performance problems.
We also do chimney liner replacement as a standalone service when the masonry is sound but the old clay liner is cracked or deteriorated. A new stainless steel liner often solves draft problems and makes your heating system much more efficient.
The key is getting an honest assessment of what actually needs to be done. We’ll always tell you if a partial replacement will solve your problems or if you really need to start over. There’s no point in doing half a job if it won’t last or won’t be safe.
A leaning chimney is a serious structural problem that needs immediate attention. This usually happens when the foundation settles or when freeze-thaw cycles have compromised the connection between the chimney and your house. It’s not something you can ignore or patch up.
Replacing a leaning chimney typically means complete chimney removal and replacement, including addressing whatever caused the original problem. We need to excavate and pour a proper foundation, then rebuild from the ground up with appropriate ties to your house structure.
This is more complex than a standard replacement, but it’s the only way to solve the problem permanently. Trying to straighten or shore up a leaning chimney is usually a waste of money—the underlying issues will just cause problems again in a few years.
If your chimney has widespread masonry damage, multiple cracks, a deteriorated flue liner, and water damage, replacement usually makes more sense than trying to patch everything up. Repairs work great for isolated problems, but when you’re looking at $4,000-6,000 in repairs, spending a bit more for a complete replacement gives you a chimney that will last decades.
We also recommend replacement when your existing chimney can’t safely handle your current heating system. Many older chimneys in North Lindenhurst were built for different types of furnaces and don’t have the proper liner or sizing for today’s high-efficiency equipment.
The honest answer is that we’ll always try to save you money with repairs if that’s the right solution. But when repairs are just delaying the inevitable, we’ll tell you that too. You deserve to know all your options and make the decision that’s best for your situation and budget.
