A properly replaced chimney eliminates the constant worry about structural collapse, fire hazards, and water damage that comes with a failing system. You’ll sleep better knowing your family is protected from carbon monoxide leaks and chimney fires.
No more emergency repair calls during Suffolk County’s harsh winters. No more watching small cracks turn into major structural problems that cost thousands to fix.
Your new chimney will handle Long Island’s coastal weather—the salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rains that destroy older masonry. You get decades of reliable performance instead of patching problems that keep coming back.
We’ve been rebuilding chimneys across Wheatley Heights and Suffolk County for more than a decade. We’re the local team homeowners trust when their chimney is leaning, crumbling, or beyond simple repairs.
Our licensed contractors and skilled masons understand what Long Island’s weather does to chimneys. We’ve seen every type of damage—from salt air corrosion to foundation settling that leaves chimneys dangerously unstable.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who know the difference between a quick fix and a proper rebuild. We use quality materials and proven techniques because we stand behind our work for years to come.
We start with a thorough inspection to determine exactly what needs to be rebuilt. Sometimes it’s the entire structure, sometimes just from the roofline up—we’ll tell you exactly what your situation requires and why.
Next comes careful demolition of the damaged sections. We protect your roof, landscaping, and home interior while removing old masonry and compromised materials. Everything gets hauled away so you don’t deal with the mess.
Then we rebuild using proper materials matched to your home’s style. New foundation work if needed, quality bricks or stone, proper flashing, and a crown designed to shed water for decades. We install new liner systems that meet current codes and ensure safe operation.

Our chimney replacement service covers everything from partial rebuilds above the roofline to complete structural replacement from foundation to crown. We handle masonry chimney replacement, structural chimney replacement, and full chimney rebuilds using materials designed for Long Island’s coastal climate.
In Wheatley Heights, we see chimneys damaged by the area’s unique weather patterns—salt air from the coast, freeze-thaw cycles, and the settling that affects older homes in Suffolk County. Many chimneys here were built decades ago with materials that don’t hold up to today’s weather extremes.
We rebuild with modern techniques and materials that resist moisture, handle temperature changes, and provide the structural integrity your home needs. Every replacement includes proper waterproofing, updated flashing systems, and liner installation that meets current safety codes.
Complete chimney replacement in Wheatley Heights typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the height, materials, and extent of structural work needed. Partial rebuilds from the roofline up cost less, usually $4,000 to $12,000.
The cost depends on whether we’re rebuilding the entire structure or just the upper portion. Foundation work, permit requirements, and your choice of materials all affect the final price. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what work is included so you understand where every dollar goes.
Long Island costs run higher than national averages due to local labor rates and stricter building codes, but replacing a failing chimney now prevents much more expensive emergency repairs and potential home damage from structural collapse or fires.
Complete replacement is necessary when the chimney is leaning more than a few inches, has major foundation settling, or shows extensive masonry deterioration throughout the structure. If more than 30% of the brickwork needs repair, replacement often makes more financial sense.
We also recommend replacement for chimneys with multiple structural issues—damaged foundation, compromised flue liner, deteriorated crown, and failing mortar joints. Trying to patch these problems individually costs more than rebuilding and doesn’t address the underlying structural problems.
Chimneys built before modern codes often lack proper footings, adequate flashing, or correct liner systems. These older structures benefit from complete replacement that brings everything up to current safety standards rather than attempting repairs on fundamentally inadequate construction.
Most complete chimney replacements take 3-7 days depending on the complexity and weather conditions. Partial rebuilds from the roofline up typically take 2-4 days, while full structural replacement with new foundation work can take up to 10 days.
We work efficiently but don’t rush quality work. Day one usually involves setup and demolition, days two through four handle the rebuild, and the final day covers cleanup and final inspections. Weather delays are possible since masonry work requires proper curing conditions.
We schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up thoroughly each day. Most homeowners are surprised how organized and contained the process is when handled by experienced professionals who do this work regularly.
We use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s coastal climate—high-quality clay bricks or natural stone with lime mortar that handles freeze-thaw cycles better than standard mortar. All flashing is heavy-gauge copper or stainless steel that resists salt air corrosion.
For liners, we install stainless steel systems rated for your specific heating appliance, whether it’s a fireplace, oil burner, or gas system. These liners meet current codes and provide proper draft while protecting the masonry from combustion byproducts.
Crown work uses reinforced concrete with proper sloping and drip edges to shed water effectively. We apply quality sealers that penetrate deep into masonry to prevent moisture absorption while still allowing the structure to breathe naturally.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for chimney replacement in Wheatley Heights and Suffolk County. Most complete rebuilds require building permits, and we know exactly what documentation the local building department needs.
We submit detailed plans showing the new construction, structural details, and how the work meets current building codes. This includes foundation specifications, flashing details, and liner installation requirements that inspectors look for.
Our experience with local building departments means we avoid delays and complications that can happen when permits aren’t handled properly. We schedule inspections at the right stages and make sure everything passes the first time so your project stays on schedule.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship—typically 5 years on labor and up to 30 years on materials depending on what’s used. This covers structural integrity, waterproofing, and proper function of all components we install.
Our warranty specifically covers issues that result from our workmanship or material defects, not damage from external factors like severe weather or settling that affects the entire house. We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proven construction techniques.
If warranty issues arise, we respond quickly to assess and correct any problems. Most issues are minor adjustments that we handle at no charge, but we’re committed to making sure your investment performs as expected for decades to come.
