SkyLuxe Construction brings a family legacy of exterior home improvement to East Hampton and Suffolk County. We’ve been protecting Long Island homes for decades, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
Licensed by Suffolk County Consumer Affairs with a perfect record. Every project gets personal oversight because our family name is on every job.
We understand East Hampton’s weather patterns, from harsh winters to summer storms. We know what materials last on Long Island and which shortcuts lead to callbacks.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system to identify any existing issues. No surprises later – you know exactly what you’re dealing with upfront.
Next comes precise measurement and material selection. Stainless steel, copper, or galvanized steel – we’ll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation and budget.
Installation happens efficiently with premium materials designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. We clean up completely and test everything to ensure it’s working properly. You get a detailed explanation of what was done and how to maintain it going forward.

Single-flue or multi-flue systems, we handle both. Stainless steel caps offer the best longevity with lifetime warranties. Copper caps provide classic aesthetics that age beautifully. Custom fabrication available for unique chimney configurations.
East Hampton’s coastal location means your chimney faces salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and storm conditions that cheaper materials simply can’t handle. We use only premium-grade materials that stand up to Suffolk County’s weather year after year.
Spark arrestors included where needed. Proper screening to keep animals out without restricting airflow. Every installation designed to protect your home and maintain your chimney’s efficiency.
Chimney cap installation typically ranges from $150 to $500 in the East Hampton area, depending on the material and complexity. Stainless steel caps with lifetime warranties run higher but offer the best long-term value.
Multi-flue chimneys cost more because they require larger, custom-fitted caps. The investment pays for itself by preventing thousands in water damage repairs.
We provide transparent pricing upfront – no surprises or hidden costs. The quote includes everything needed for a complete, permanent installation.
Stainless steel chimney caps perform best in Suffolk County’s harsh conditions. They resist salt air corrosion, handle freeze-thaw cycles, and many come with lifetime guarantees.
Copper caps are also excellent for coastal areas, developing a protective patina over time. Galvanized steel is the budget option but typically needs replacement every 5-7 years in Long Island’s climate.
The key is proper sizing and professional installation. Even the best materials fail if not installed correctly for your specific chimney configuration.
Quality stainless steel caps last 15-25 years in East Hampton’s climate, with many carrying lifetime warranties. Copper caps can last even longer, often 30+ years with proper maintenance.
Galvanized steel caps typically need replacement every 5-7 years due to salt air corrosion. The harsh coastal conditions and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear on lower-grade materials.
Regular annual inspections help maximize lifespan. Small issues caught early prevent major replacements down the road.
Professional installation is strongly recommended for safety and warranty protection. Chimney work involves working at height on potentially slippery roof surfaces, especially dangerous in East Hampton’s coastal winds.
Improper installation voids most manufacturer warranties and can create bigger problems than having no cap at all. Poor fitting allows water infiltration and reduces efficiency.
Licensed contractors carry insurance for roof work and understand local building codes. The small additional cost for professional installation protects a much larger investment in your home.
Water damage is the biggest threat – Suffolk County’s frequent storms and snow can pour directly into an uncapped chimney. This leads to liner damage, masonry deterioration, and expensive interior repairs.
Animals frequently nest in uncapped chimneys, creating dangerous blockages. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons can build substantial obstructions that prevent proper venting.
Sparks and embers can escape onto your roof, creating fire hazards. This is particularly dangerous during dry periods when roof materials are more combustible.
Simple chimney cap replacement typically doesn’t require permits in East Hampton. However, if structural chimney repairs are needed first, permits may be required.
Licensed contractors understand local requirements and handle any necessary permitting. We know when Suffolk County requires inspections and ensure all work meets code.
It’s always better to check than assume. Building code violations can complicate future home sales and insurance claims. Professional contractors take care of these details so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.
