You get a structurally sound chimney that keeps water out and your family safe. No more worrying about crumbling mortar joints or water stains appearing on your walls after the next storm.
When we finish your chimney repointing, you’ll have decades of protection ahead of you. The mortar joints will be weather-tight and built to handle everything Long Island throws at them—from nor’easters to freeze-thaw cycles.
Your home stays dry, your chimney stays stable, and you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job was done right the first time.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades at SkyLuxe Construction. We’re not just another contractor—we’re a family-owned business that understands what Long Island weather does to chimneys.
We’ve seen every type of mortar damage that affects Dix Hills homes, from coastal moisture deterioration to winter freeze damage. That local knowledge makes the difference between a repair that lasts two years and one that lasts twenty.
When you call us, you’re working with licensed professionals who give you straight answers about what needs fixing and what can wait. We’re in Dix Hills regularly, so we understand the specific challenges your neighborhood faces.
First, we inspect your chimney from top to bottom to identify all the damaged mortar joints. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain what it takes to fix it properly.
Next, we carefully remove the old, deteriorated mortar without damaging your bricks. This step takes patience and skill—rush it, and you’ll crack the bricks. We take our time to do it right.
Then we mix new mortar that matches your chimney’s original color and strength. The mortar needs to cure properly, so we protect your chimney during the drying process and clean up everything when we’re done.
Most Dix Hills repointing jobs take one to three days depending on your chimney’s size and the extent of damage. Weather affects timing since mortar needs proper conditions to cure, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.

Your repointing service includes complete mortar joint restoration using materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s climate. We use weather-resistant mortar that handles salt air, heavy rains, and temperature swings.
The service covers all visible mortar joints from the roofline to the crown. We also inspect and repair chimney caps, flashing, and crowns as needed to prevent water infiltration from multiple sources.
Dix Hills homes face unique challenges from coastal moisture and seasonal weather changes. Our mortar mix is custom-matched to your chimney’s age and brick type, ensuring proper adhesion and longevity. We also apply waterproof sealant to protect against Long Island’s frequent storms and high humidity levels.
Chimney repointing costs depend on your chimney’s size, the extent of damage, and accessibility. Most Dix Hills homeowners spend between $1,500 and $4,500 for professional repointing.
Smaller chimneys with minor mortar damage cost less, while larger chimneys or those requiring scaffolding cost more. The good news is that repointing costs far less than rebuilding—and catches problems before they become expensive structural issues.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. After inspecting your chimney, we’ll give you a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any additional work needed.
Most chimney repointing projects in Dix Hills take one to three days, depending on chimney size and weather conditions. Standard residential chimneys typically wrap up in a day or two.
Weather plays a big role in timing since mortar needs proper conditions to cure. We won’t rush the job or work in conditions that compromise quality—your chimney’s long-term performance depends on proper curing.
Larger chimneys or those requiring extensive scaffolding may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected damage affects the schedule.
Look for crumbling mortar joints, white staining on bricks, or gaps between bricks and mortar. Most Dix Hills chimneys need repointing every 15-20 years, but Long Island’s harsh weather can accelerate deterioration.
Don’t wait for water stains on your walls or ceiling—that means water is already getting inside. Early repointing prevents expensive water damage and extends your chimney’s life significantly.
The best time for repointing is during dry weather when mortar can cure properly. Spring and fall typically offer ideal conditions, but we work year-round for urgent repairs.
Repointing replaces just the mortar between bricks when the bricks themselves are still solid. It’s like refreshing the “glue” that holds everything together—much less expensive than rebuilding.
Rebuilding becomes necessary when bricks are damaged, the structure is unstable, or more than 25% of the chimney needs major work. Most Dix Hills chimneys can avoid rebuilding for decades with proper repointing maintenance.
A professional inspection determines which approach makes sense for your situation. We’ll always recommend the most cost-effective solution that ensures your chimney’s safety and longevity.
Yes, we stand behind our chimney repointing with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials designed specifically for Long Island’s challenging climate.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in our work and our commitment to your satisfaction. If issues arise that are related to our workmanship or materials, we’ll make it right at no cost to you.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, and our reputation depends on delivering lasting results. When we repoint your chimney, we expect it to protect your home for years to come.
Chimney repointing isn’t a DIY project—it requires specialized knowledge of mortar types, mixing ratios, and proper application techniques. Using the wrong mortar or technique can actually damage your bricks and create bigger problems.
Safety is another major concern. Chimney work involves working at height, often requiring scaffolding or specialized equipment. Professional contractors have the training and insurance to work safely.
Most importantly, improper repointing can compromise your chimney’s structural integrity and create fire hazards. The cost of hiring professionals is far less than fixing DIY mistakes or dealing with the consequences of improper work.
