You’re tired of patching the same problems year after year. Water keeps finding its way in. The mortar keeps crumbling. The structure keeps shifting.
A complete chimney replacement eliminates all of that. No more emergency calls during storms. No more wondering if your family is safe when you light a fire. No more watching your heating bills climb because your chimney can’t draw properly.
Your new chimney handles everything Long Island weather throws at it. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, coastal storms – none of it matters anymore because you’ve got a system built to last decades, not seasons.
We’ve been building and rebuilding chimneys across Suffolk County for years. We’ve seen what happens when contractors use inland materials on coastal properties. We know which shortcuts fail after the first winter.
Most importantly, we understand that your chimney replacement isn’t just about the structure above your roofline. It’s about your family’s safety, your home’s protection, and your peace of mind during every storm.
That’s why we use materials specifically designed for Long Island’s salt air and moisture. It’s why we build to exceed local codes. And it’s why our customers recommend us to their neighbors when they need real chimney work done right.
We start with a thorough assessment of your existing chimney and the surrounding structure. You’ll know exactly what needs to come down, what can stay, and why each decision matters for your specific situation.
The removal process protects your roof, your home’s interior, and your landscaping. We’re not just tearing down – we’re carefully dismantling while planning for the new construction.
Your new chimney goes up using materials that handle coastal conditions. Proper flashing, the right mortar mix, structural elements that won’t shift or crack. Every component is chosen because it works in this environment, not because it’s cheapest or easiest.
You’ll see progress every day, and you’ll know exactly when we’ll be finished. No dragging projects or surprise delays.

Your chimney replacement includes everything needed for decades of reliable operation. New foundation work if needed. Proper liner installation. Crown construction that won’t crack in the first freeze. Flashing that actually keeps water out.
We use mortar mixes designed for salt air exposure. Our brick selection considers both appearance and durability in coastal conditions. The cap and crown are built to handle thermal expansion without cracking.
South Huntington homes face specific challenges other areas don’t deal with. The constant moisture, the salt carried by coastal winds, the temperature swings between seasons. Your replacement chimney is engineered for exactly these conditions, not generic national standards that don’t account for Long Island’s unique environment.
Complete chimney replacement in South Huntington typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on height, complexity, and materials needed. This includes full removal of the existing structure and construction of a new chimney from the roofline up.
The cost reflects the specialized materials required for Long Island’s coastal conditions and the skilled labor needed for proper installation. While this seems significant, it’s often more cost-effective than repeated repairs on a failing system.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every component, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why each element is necessary for long-term performance.
Most chimney replacements in South Huntington take 3-5 days to complete, weather permitting. This includes one day for careful removal of the existing chimney and 2-4 days for new construction, depending on height and complexity.
We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Your home is protected throughout the process, and we clean up completely each day. Weather delays are possible, but we’ll keep you informed of any schedule changes.
The timeline can extend if we discover additional structural issues or if permits require modifications to the original plan. We discuss any potential delays upfront during our initial assessment.
Long Island’s coastal environment creates unique challenges that require specialized approaches. Salt air accelerates deterioration of standard masonry materials, so we use mortar mixes and sealers specifically designed for coastal conditions.
The constant moisture and freeze-thaw cycles mean standard flashing materials corrode quickly. We use upgraded materials that resist salt corrosion and handle the thermal expansion that comes with temperature swings.
Local building codes are also more stringent than many areas, requiring specific construction methods and materials. Our experience with Suffolk County requirements ensures your replacement meets all local standards without delays or complications.
No, your fireplace cannot be used during chimney replacement. The existing chimney is completely removed, which eliminates the safe venting path for smoke and gases. Using the fireplace during this time would create serious carbon monoxide risks.
We typically schedule replacement work during warmer months when fireplace use is minimal. If replacement is needed during heating season, we work quickly to minimize the time your system is out of service.
Once your new chimney is complete and passes final inspection, you can resume normal fireplace use. The new system will actually perform better than your old chimney, with improved draft and efficiency.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with local authorities. Suffolk County requires permits for complete chimney replacement, and we’re familiar with the application process and requirements.
We submit detailed plans showing the new construction methods and materials. This ensures approval without delays and demonstrates that your replacement meets all current safety codes.
All required inspections are scheduled at appropriate construction phases. We coordinate with inspectors and address any questions or requirements they may have. You don’t need to deal with the bureaucratic aspects of the project.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Structural components are warranted for multiple years, while specific materials like flashing and sealants have manufacturer warranties that we honor and support.
Our warranty covers defects in installation and premature failure of properly installed components. Normal wear from weather exposure isn’t covered, but properly installed systems should provide decades of service in Long Island conditions.
We stand behind our work and respond quickly to any warranty issues. Most problems, if they occur, show up within the first year and are typically minor adjustments that we handle at no charge.
