Hear from Our Customers
No more water stains appearing on your ceiling after every storm. No more scratching sounds from animals that found their way into your chimney. No more wondering if sparks from your fireplace could start a roof fire.
Your new chimney cap does exactly what it’s designed to do. It keeps Suffolk County’s coastal weather out of your chimney system while letting smoke escape properly. Water runs off instead of seeping in and causing damage.
You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your chimney is protected against the elements—and you’re not facing a costly emergency repair next winter.
We’ve served Suffolk County homeowners for decades at SkyLuxe Construction Inc. We know exactly how Shoreham’s coastal environment affects chimney systems—the salt air that corrodes metal, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry, the heavy rains that find every weakness.
We’re locally owned and operated, not some national chain that doesn’t understand your area. Our certified professionals use materials specifically rated for coastal conditions and installation methods that stand up to Long Island weather.
When you call 631-707-0172, you’re working with contractors who live in your community and stake our reputation on every job. We’re here when you need us, and we stand behind our work.
We start with a complete chimney inspection from top to bottom. This includes checking your current cap condition, measuring your flue openings precisely, and identifying any prep work needed before installation.
Then we help you select the right cap for your specific situation. Single-flue or multi-flue, stainless steel or copper, with or without spark arrestor—we explain the options so you can make an informed choice based on your needs and budget.
Installation day, we remove your old cap if necessary, prepare the chimney crown, and install your new cap with proper mounting and weatherproof sealing. We test everything to ensure proper fit and function, then clean up completely.
You end up with a professionally installed chimney cap that fits perfectly and protects your home for years to come.

We offer the full range of chimney cap options designed for Suffolk County’s demanding coastal conditions. Our stainless steel caps resist salt air corrosion and provide excellent long-term durability. Copper chimney caps offer superior longevity and develop a protective patina that actually improves with age.
Multi-flue installations get custom-fabricated caps that cover all openings while maintaining proper ventilation for each flue. Single-flue caps are precision-fitted with spark arrestors where required by local codes.
Every installation includes high-grade mounting hardware, proper flashing integration, and weatherproof sealing designed for coastal environments. We use materials that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications and back every installation with solid warranties. Your investment protects against water damage, prevents animal intrusion, and ensures code compliance.
Chimney cap installation costs depend on cap type, chimney configuration, and installation complexity. Basic stainless steel single-flue caps typically range from $350-600 installed, while custom multi-flue or copper caps can cost $600-1500 depending on size and specifications.
The investment makes financial sense when you consider the alternative—water damage repairs can easily cost thousands, and emergency chimney work is always more expensive than planned maintenance. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for with no surprises.
Stainless steel chimney caps are excellent for coastal areas like Shoreham because they resist corrosion from salt air and handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Grade 316 stainless steel offers the highest corrosion resistance for marine environments.
Copper caps are another premium option that actually improves with age—they develop a natural patina that protects against further corrosion. Both materials outperform galvanized steel or aluminum in coastal conditions. We help you choose based on your chimney type, budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
Most chimney cap installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. Simple single-flue replacements on accessible chimneys typically take less time, while complex multi-flue installations or custom fabrication work may require a full day.
Weather affects our scheduling—we won’t install caps in rain, high winds, or icy conditions for safety reasons. We monitor weather forecasts and communicate any delays well in advance. The actual installation moves quickly once we start, but we take the time needed to ensure proper fitting, sealing, and long-term performance.
Standard chimney cap replacement typically doesn’t require permits in Shoreham, but regulations can change and vary by property type. If we’re making structural modifications or installing significantly different cap configurations, permits might be required.
We stay current on Suffolk County building codes and can advise you on permit requirements for your specific situation. When permits are needed, we can handle the paperwork or guide you through the process. All our work meets current safety standards and local code requirements regardless of permit status.
Clear signs include visible rust, cracks in the cap or crown, damaged or missing mesh screening, and water stains near your chimney inside the house. If you hear animals in your chimney or find debris in your fireplace, your cap isn’t providing proper protection.
Other warning signs include loose or tilted caps, corroded mounting hardware, or gaps between the cap and chimney top. Even if your cap looks okay, have it inspected if it’s over 15 years old—coastal conditions accelerate wear. We provide honest assessments of whether repair makes sense or replacement is the better investment.
We install chimney caps on masonry chimneys, prefabricated metal chimneys, and factory-built systems. Each type requires specific mounting methods and cap styles, but we have the experience and equipment to handle all configurations properly.
For unusual or custom chimney designs, we can fabricate custom caps to ensure perfect fit and optimal function. We work with single-flue, multi-flue, and complex chimney configurations regularly. During our initial inspection, we assess your specific setup and recommend the best cap solution for your situation, budget, and long-term needs.
