Water stops pooling in your flue. Animals can’t build nests in your chimney anymore. Sparks stay contained instead of landing on your roof.
You don’t wake up to strange scratching sounds or worry about structural damage eating away at your investment. Your chimney works the way it should – efficiently and safely.
That’s what happens when you get a properly installed chimney cap from contractors who know what they’re doing.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has served Suffolk County homeowners for decades, handling everything from emergency roof repairs to complete exterior renovations. We’re a family business that understands East Marion’s unique coastal weather conditions and building requirements.
Our team knows how Long Island’s salt air and seasonal storms affect your chimney system. We’ve installed caps on everything from historic colonial homes to modern waterfront properties.
When you call us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community – not some fly-by-night operation from three counties away.
First, we inspect your chimney to measure the flue size and assess the condition. We check for any existing damage that needs addressing before the new cap goes on.
Next, we select or fabricate the right cap for your specific setup – whether you need single-flue, multi-flue, or custom sizing. We use stainless steel or copper depending on your preferences and budget.
Then we install the cap with proper sealing and secure mounting. We test the fit and make sure everything’s weatherproof before we leave. You get a system that’s built to handle whatever East Marion’s weather throws at it.

East Marion homes face unique challenges from coastal weather and salt air exposure. Our chimney caps are specifically chosen and installed to handle these conditions.
We offer stainless steel caps that resist corrosion from salt air, and copper options that develop a protective patina over time. Multi-flue caps work for homes with complex chimney systems, while single-flue installations handle standard setups.
Every cap includes spark arrestor mesh to prevent fires and animal screening to keep wildlife out. Custom fabrication is available for unusual chimney shapes or when you want something that matches your home’s architectural style perfectly.
Most chimney cap installations in East Marion range from $200 to $500, depending on the size, material, and complexity of your chimney. Single-flue stainless steel caps typically cost less than multi-flue or custom copper options.
The final price depends on factors like chimney height, accessibility, and whether you need any additional repairs. We provide upfront pricing during our free estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Custom fabrication for unusual chimney shapes or premium materials like copper can increase the cost, but you’re investing in protection that can prevent thousands in water damage repairs down the road.
Stainless steel caps offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance at a more affordable price point. They’re particularly good for East Marion’s coastal environment because they won’t rust from salt air exposure.
Copper caps cost more upfront but develop a distinctive green patina over time that many homeowners prefer aesthetically. Copper is naturally antimicrobial and extremely long-lasting, often outlasting the chimney itself.
Both materials provide the same protection against water, animals, and debris. Your choice usually comes down to budget and appearance preferences. We can show you examples of both to help you decide what works best for your home.
Most chimney cap installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. Simple single-flue replacements on accessible chimneys are usually done in about 2 hours.
Multi-flue installations or caps that require custom fabrication take longer. If we need to make repairs to the chimney crown or flue before installing the cap, that adds time to the project.
Weather can affect timing too – we won’t install caps in high winds or during storms for safety reasons. We’ll schedule your installation for optimal conditions and give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate.
Chimney cap installation typically doesn’t require a permit in Suffolk County since it’s considered routine maintenance rather than structural modification. However, building codes can vary by municipality within the county.
We handle all the code compliance research for your specific location in East Marion. If permits are required for any reason, we’ll take care of the paperwork and make sure everything meets local regulations.
Our experience with Suffolk County building departments means we know exactly what’s required in your area. You don’t have to worry about code violations or inspection issues when you work with us.
Yes, we regularly install multi-flue chimney caps that cover several flue openings with a single unit. These caps are custom-sized to fit your specific chimney configuration and provide complete protection for all flues.
Multi-flue caps are often more cost-effective than installing separate caps on each flue. They also provide a cleaner appearance and better weather protection since there are fewer seams and penetrations.
We measure each flue opening and the overall chimney dimensions to ensure proper fit and adequate clearance. The cap includes screening for each flue to prevent animal entry while maintaining proper ventilation for all your heating appliances.
We’ll safely remove any animals and nesting materials before installing your new cap. This usually involves waiting for baby animals to mature enough to leave on their own, then installing one-way exclusion devices.
Once we confirm all animals have left, we clean out nesting materials and debris, then install the cap with proper screening to prevent re-entry. We follow humane wildlife removal practices and local regulations.
The process might take a few weeks during nesting season, but it’s important to do it right. Installing a cap with animals still inside creates bigger problems and potential legal issues. We’ll walk you through the timeline during your inspection.
