When your chimney’s mortar joints fail, water finds its way in. What starts as a small crack becomes structural damage, interior water stains, and expensive repairs throughout your home.
Professional repointing fixes this at the source. We remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with properly mixed, weather-resistant material that seals your chimney against Suffolk County’s harsh winters.
You get a chimney that looks sharp, functions safely, and protects your home’s value. No more worrying about leaks during the next storm.
SkyLuxe Construction has been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades. We’re the family-owned company that Mastic homeowners trust when their chimney needs real expertise.
Our team understands how Long Island weather affects masonry. We’ve seen what works and what fails, and we use that knowledge on every job.
Licensed, insured, and committed to doing the work right the first time. When we finish your chimney repointing project, you’ll know it’s built to last.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney’s condition. Every crack, loose joint, and potential problem area gets identified before we begin any work.
Next comes careful removal of damaged mortar using proper tools and techniques. This step matters – rushed removal can damage surrounding bricks and create bigger problems.
Finally, we apply fresh Type N mortar that’s specifically formulated for Suffolk County’s climate. The new joints are shaped and finished to match your chimney’s original appearance while providing superior weather protection.
The entire process typically takes one day, and we clean up completely when we’re done. Your property looks exactly as we found it, except your chimney is properly sealed and protected.

Our chimney repointing service includes everything needed to restore your chimney’s weather resistance. We handle mortar joint repair, tuckpointing, and brick pointing using materials designed for Long Island’s coastal climate.
Mastic homes face unique challenges from salt air and temperature fluctuations. Our repointing approach accounts for these local conditions, using mortar mixes that expand and contract properly without cracking.
Each project includes crown inspection, flashing evaluation, and structural assessment. If we spot other issues during repointing, we’ll discuss them with you upfront – no surprises or hidden costs.
You receive a chimney that’s properly sealed against water intrusion, structurally sound, and ready to handle whatever Suffolk County weather brings next.
Chimney repointing costs in Mastic typically range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on your chimney’s height, condition, and accessibility. Most standard residential chimneys fall in the $2,000 to $2,800 range.
Several factors affect pricing: the extent of mortar damage, chimney height and design complexity, and whether additional repairs are needed. A chimney with severe deterioration requires more extensive work than one with isolated problem areas.
We provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your specific situation. This ensures you know exactly what work is included and why it’s necessary, with no surprise costs during the project.
We use Type N mortar for most chimney repointing projects in Mastic. This mortar provides the right balance of strength and flexibility for above-ground masonry applications, especially important in Suffolk County’s climate.
Type N mortar handles thermal expansion and contraction without cracking, which is crucial for chimneys that experience significant temperature changes. It also bonds well with existing masonry while allowing proper water vapor transmission.
For historic chimneys or special applications, we may recommend lime-based mortars that match the original construction. We always test compatibility with existing materials to ensure the best long-term performance for your specific chimney.
Most chimney repointing projects in Mastic are completed in one day. Standard residential chimneys typically require 6-8 hours of work, depending on the chimney’s size and the extent of mortar replacement needed.
Larger or more complex chimneys may require two days, especially if significant structural repairs are discovered during the process. Weather conditions can also affect timing – we won’t compromise quality by rushing work in poor conditions.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your routine. Our team arrives prepared with all materials and equipment, works efficiently throughout the day, and completes thorough cleanup before leaving your property.
You should consider chimney repointing when you notice cracked or crumbling mortar joints, especially after Suffolk County’s harsh winters. Other warning signs include white staining on exterior bricks, water stains near your fireplace, or pieces of mortar found around your chimney base.
Most chimneys need repointing every 25-30 years, but Mastic’s coastal environment can accelerate mortar deterioration. Salt air and freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on masonry materials, sometimes requiring attention sooner.
The best time for repointing is during dry weather in late spring through early fall. This allows proper curing time before winter weather arrives. Don’t wait if you’re seeing active leaks – water damage gets worse quickly and costs more to repair.
Yes, professional chimney repointing typically stops water leaks caused by deteriorated mortar joints. Most chimney leaks in Mastic homes occur when mortar joints fail and allow water to penetrate the masonry structure.
Proper repointing creates a weatherproof seal that prevents water intrusion while allowing the masonry to breathe naturally. We also inspect and address related issues like damaged flashing or crown problems that could cause continued leaks.
However, if leaks have been ongoing, there may be additional damage requiring attention. We’ll identify any secondary issues during our initial inspection and discuss comprehensive solutions to ensure your leak problems are completely resolved.
Yes, we guarantee all chimney repointing work with comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Our standard warranty protects against mortar failure, water intrusion, and structural issues related to our repointing work.
The warranty length depends on the specific materials used and scope of work completed. We use only high-quality mortars and proven application techniques that we’re confident will perform well in Suffolk County’s challenging climate conditions.
If any problems develop with our repointing work, we return to address them at no additional cost. Our reputation in Mastic depends on standing behind our work and ensuring every customer is completely satisfied with the results.
