You’ll never worry about water pouring into your chimney again. No more animals nesting in your flue. No more sparks flying onto your roof during those cozy winter fires.
A properly installed chimney cap transforms your biggest vulnerability into your strongest defense. While your neighbors deal with expensive water damage repairs and pest problems, you’ll have complete peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.
Every installation we complete means one less emergency call, one less insurance claim, and one less costly repair bill down the road.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been protecting Suffolk County homes for years with expert exterior services that actually last. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Long Island’s coastal climate does to chimneys.
From Farmingville’s freeze-thaw cycles to the salt air that corrodes inferior materials, we’ve seen every challenge your chimney faces. That’s why we only use premium materials and proven installation techniques that stand up to everything Mother Nature throws at them.
When you choose us, you’re working with a family-owned company that takes personal responsibility for every job we complete.
First, we inspect your chimney to determine the exact cap size and style that’ll work best for your specific setup. We measure everything precisely—because a cap that doesn’t fit properly is worse than no cap at all.
Next, we select the right material for your situation. Stainless steel for maximum durability, copper for traditional homes, or custom fabrication when you need something specific. We explain your options clearly so you can make the best choice for your budget and goals.
Finally, we install your new cap using professional-grade fasteners and weatherproofing techniques. The job isn’t finished until we’ve tested the fit, cleaned up completely, and walked you through what we’ve done.

Your new chimney cap comes with everything needed to protect your Farmingville home from the elements. We install spark arrestors to prevent flying embers, screens to keep out birds and small animals, and proper drainage systems to handle Long Island’s heavy rains.
For multi-flue chimneys, we fabricate custom covers that protect every opening while maintaining proper ventilation. Single-flue installations get precision-fitted caps that seal perfectly without restricting airflow.
Every material we use is chosen specifically for Suffolk County’s coastal environment. Our stainless steel caps resist salt air corrosion, while our copper options develop that beautiful patina that actually strengthens over time. When standard sizes won’t work, our custom fabrication ensures a perfect fit every time.
Chimney cap installation in Farmingville, NY typically ranges from $300 to $800, depending on your chimney size, material choice, and any custom fabrication needed. Single-flue caps with standard stainless steel construction start around $300-400 installed.
Multi-flue chimneys or custom fabrication projects can run $500-800 or more, especially when we’re working with copper materials or complex rooflines. The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider that water damage from an uncapped chimney can easily cost thousands to repair.
We provide upfront pricing with no surprises, and every installation includes a thorough inspection to make sure there aren’t other issues that need attention.
Stainless steel is the top choice for most Farmingville, NY homeowners because it handles our coastal climate perfectly. It won’t rust from salt air, stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, and typically lasts 15-25 years with minimal maintenance.
Copper is excellent for traditional homes and actually gets stronger as it ages, developing that distinctive green patina. It costs more upfront but can last 30+ years and adds real curb appeal to the right property.
We don’t recommend galvanized steel in Suffolk County because the salt air causes premature rusting. Aluminum works for budget-conscious projects, but stainless steel is worth the extra investment for most situations.
Look for rust, cracks, or missing screens—these are clear signs your cap isn’t protecting your chimney anymore. If you’re finding animals or birds in your fireplace, or if you notice water stains around your chimney, your cap has probably failed.
Damaged spark arrestors are another red flag, especially if you use your fireplace regularly. A loose or tilted cap means the fasteners have failed, which happens frequently with cheaper installations that weren’t done properly the first time.
During our inspection, we check all these components plus the condition of your chimney crown and flashing. Sometimes what looks like a cap problem is actually a bigger issue that needs attention.
Absolutely. Multi-flue chimney caps are one of our specialties, and they’re often the most cost-effective solution for chimneys with multiple openings. A single well-designed cap protects all your flues while maintaining proper ventilation for each one.
We fabricate these caps to fit your exact chimney dimensions, ensuring each flue gets adequate airflow while keeping water, animals, and debris out of all openings. The design process includes calculating proper clearances and screen placement for optimal performance.
Custom multi-flue caps typically cost less than installing separate caps on each opening, and they look much cleaner from a design standpoint. Plus, there’s only one component to maintain instead of multiple caps that could fail independently.
Yes, and water damage is actually the biggest threat to most chimneys in our area. Without a cap, rain and snow pour directly into your flue, causing rust in metal components, deteriorating mortar joints, and creating conditions for mold growth.
Water also causes freeze-thaw damage during winter months, where trapped moisture expands and cracks masonry. We’ve seen chimneys that needed thousands in repairs simply because water got in through an uncapped opening over several seasons.
A properly installed cap with good drainage design keeps water out while maintaining ventilation. It’s the single most cost-effective way to protect your entire chimney system from Long Island’s weather patterns.
Most standard installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish, depending on roof access and chimney height. We complete the majority of single-flue cap installations in a single visit, weather permitting.
Multi-flue caps or custom fabrication projects may require additional time, especially if we need to fabricate components off-site first. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
The actual installation is just part of our process—we also spend time inspecting your chimney condition, cleaning the work area, and making sure everything is properly sealed and secured before we consider the job complete.
