Your heating system works the way it should. Smoke goes up and out, not into your living room. Your energy bills stay reasonable because air flows properly through a professionally rebuilt chimney system.
Water damage becomes a non-issue. Proper installation means rain stays outside where it belongs, not dripping into your walls or staining your ceiling. You avoid those expensive interior repairs that come from a failing chimney.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. No more wondering if your family is safe when you light a fire. No more worrying about carbon monoxide or structural collapse during the next storm.
We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners for over 10 years. We’re a family-owned company with licensed contractors and skilled masons who understand the unique challenges of coastal construction.
Port Jefferson Station’s salt air and freeze-thaw cycles destroy chimneys faster than inland areas. We’ve seen what works and what fails in our local climate. Our team has rebuilt hundreds of chimneys in Suffolk County, from colonial-era brick structures to modern installations.
We’re fully licensed and insured, and we show up when we say we will. You get honest assessments, transparent pricing, and work that lasts.
We start with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of replacement needed. Sometimes partial rebuilding works, but often a complete tear-down and rebuild is the most cost-effective approach for severely damaged chimneys.
Next comes careful demolition and debris removal. We protect your property with tarps and handle all cleanup. The new chimney gets built from the foundation up using quality materials designed for Long Island’s coastal environment.
Finally, we install a proper liner, crown, and cap system that actually prevents water infiltration. Every component is sized correctly and installed to current building codes. You get documentation of all work performed and a warranty that backs up our craftsmanship.

Your chimney replacement includes complete structural rebuilding, new flue liner installation, and proper crown and cap systems. We use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s harsh coastal conditions.
Port Jefferson Station homes face unique challenges from salt air corrosion and moisture infiltration. Our replacement process addresses these local factors with corrosion-resistant materials and proper waterproofing techniques that inland contractors often overlook.
You also get permits handled, building code compliance, and coordination with any related roofing work. The job includes full cleanup and documentation for your insurance company if needed.
Complete chimney replacement in Port Jefferson Station typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the size and complexity of your chimney system. Factors that affect cost include the height of the chimney, accessibility, materials chosen, and extent of related repairs needed.
Long Island costs tend to be higher than national averages due to local labor rates and stricter building codes. However, complete replacement often costs less than repeated partial repairs over time, especially for chimneys with extensive structural damage.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden costs. You’ll know exactly what the project costs before we start work.
Replace your chimney when repairs would cost more than 50% of replacement cost, or when you have multiple structural issues like loose bricks, damaged flue liner, and deteriorated mortar joints. Chimneys over 50 years old with significant damage are often better candidates for replacement.
Port Jefferson Station’s coastal environment accelerates chimney deterioration through salt air corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles. If your chimney has been repeatedly repaired but problems keep returning, replacement provides a permanent solution.
Signs that indicate replacement over repair include a leaning chimney, extensive water damage, collapsed flue tiles, or structural cracks in the foundation. A professional inspection can determine the most cost-effective approach.
Most complete chimney replacements take 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Weather conditions can extend the timeline, especially during Long Island’s winter months.
The process includes demolition, foundation work, rebuilding the structure, and installing the liner and crown systems. Each step needs proper curing time for materials like mortar and concrete.
We coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll have a clear timeline before we start, and we keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
For Port Jefferson Station’s coastal environment, we recommend brick or stone construction with stainless steel liners and corrosion-resistant caps and flashing. These materials handle salt air exposure and moisture better than standard options.
The mortar mix is crucial for coastal chimneys. We use Type N mortar that provides flexibility for thermal expansion while maintaining strength against freeze-thaw cycles. Standard mortar mixes often fail prematurely in coastal conditions.
Proper waterproofing and drainage are equally important. We install comprehensive flashing systems and ensure proper crown design to shed water effectively. These details make the difference between a chimney that lasts decades versus one that needs frequent repairs.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and building code compliance for your chimney replacement project. Suffolk County has specific requirements for chimney construction that must be followed for safety and insurance purposes.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the scope of work and current processing times. We submit all required plans and coordinate inspections throughout the project.
Building code compliance is crucial for your safety and home insurance coverage. Improperly built chimneys can void your insurance and create liability issues. We ensure everything meets current standards and passes all required inspections.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering workmanship and materials for your chimney replacement. Structural work is warranted for multiple years, while individual components like caps and flashing have their own warranty periods.
The warranty covers defects in materials and installation, but normal wear from Long Island’s coastal environment is expected over time. We provide detailed warranty documentation explaining what’s covered and for how long.
Regular maintenance helps preserve your warranty coverage and extends the life of your new chimney. We provide maintenance recommendations and can schedule annual inspections to keep your system in optimal condition.
