When your chimney is professionally cleaned and swept, you get more than just a maintenance checkmark. You get peace of mind knowing your family is protected from dangerous chimney fires and deadly carbon monoxide leaks that claim lives every year.
Clean chimneys burn more efficiently, saving you money on heating bills during those brutal Suffolk County winters. No more worrying about creosote buildup or blocked flues when you’re trying to enjoy a cozy evening by the fire.
Your home stays warmer, your energy costs stay lower, and most importantly—your family stays safe. That’s what matters when the temperatures drop and you’re counting on your fireplace to keep everyone comfortable.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another chimney company. We’re a family legacy that’s been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, and we understand exactly what Amagansett’s coastal environment does to your chimney system.
Living this close to the ocean means your chimney faces challenges that inland homes never see. Salt air, moisture, and extreme weather conditions can damage your chimney structure faster than most homeowners realize.
We’ve been dealing with these exact conditions for years. Every sweep, every inspection, every repair—we approach it with the knowledge that comes from understanding how Long Island’s unique climate affects your home’s safety systems.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We’re looking for creosote buildup, structural damage, blockages, and any safety concerns that could put your family at risk.
Next comes the actual cleaning and sweeping. We use professional-grade equipment to remove all soot, ash, and dangerous creosote deposits from your flue. Every surface gets attention—the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and the full length of your chimney liner.
Finally, we walk you through everything we found and give you clear recommendations. No sales pressure, no inflated repair estimates—just honest information about what your chimney needs to keep your family safe. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in before we leave your property.

Your chimney cleaning service includes comprehensive creosote removal, soot and ash cleaning, flue inspection, and blockage removal. We also check your chimney cap, crown, and flashing—critical components that protect against Amagansett’s harsh coastal weather.
Living near the water means your chimney deals with salt air corrosion and moisture infiltration that can cause serious damage over time. We specifically look for these coastal-related issues during every service call.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney cleaning, but Amagansett homeowners often need more frequent attention due to our unique environmental challenges. We’ll help you determine the right maintenance schedule based on how often you use your fireplace and what condition your chimney system is in.
Most Amagansett homeowners need annual chimney cleaning, but your specific schedule depends on how often you use your fireplace and the condition of your chimney system. If you burn wood regularly during the winter months, you’ll likely need cleaning every year.
However, living this close to the ocean creates additional challenges. Salt air and moisture can accelerate deterioration of your chimney components, and debris from coastal storms can block your flue more frequently than inland homes experience.
We recommend having your chimney inspected annually regardless of use, and cleaned whenever creosote buildup reaches dangerous levels. During your inspection, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and usage patterns.
Amagansett’s coastal location creates unique challenges that most chimney companies don’t understand. Salt air causes faster corrosion of metal components like chimney caps, dampers, and flashing. The constant moisture from ocean humidity can also lead to masonry damage and accelerated creosote formation.
Coastal storms bring more debris—leaves, twigs, and even sand—that can block your chimney flue. We’ve seen chimneys in Amagansett that looked fine from the outside but had serious blockages or corrosion damage that only shows up during professional inspection.
That’s why we specifically check for salt air corrosion, moisture damage, and storm debris during every service call. We know what to look for because we’ve been dealing with these exact conditions in Suffolk County for decades.
Several warning signs indicate your chimney needs immediate cleaning: white staining on the outside of your chimney, strong odors coming from your fireplace, smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, or animals or birds in your chimney.
You might also notice rust on your damper or firebox, or a thick, tar-like substance (creosote) visible inside your fireplace. These are clear indicators that cleaning can’t wait until your regular annual service.
However, even if you don’t see obvious problems, annual inspection is still critical. Many dangerous conditions—like cracked flue liners or carbon monoxide leaks—aren’t visible to homeowners. Professional inspection catches these issues before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards.
Neglecting chimney cleaning puts your family at serious risk. Creosote buildup is highly flammable and causes thousands of house fires every year. Even a small amount can ignite and spread fire throughout your home faster than most people realize.
Blocked or dirty chimneys can also cause carbon monoxide to back up into your living space. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, so you won’t know it’s there until someone gets sick or worse. This is especially dangerous while you’re sleeping.
Beyond safety risks, dirty chimneys cost you money. Poor airflow makes your fireplace less efficient, so you’ll burn more wood for less heat. Eventually, neglect leads to expensive repairs—damaged flue liners, cracked chimney crowns, or even complete chimney rebuilds that could have been prevented with regular maintenance.
Yes, we clean and service all types of chimney systems—wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and even furnace and boiler flues. Each type requires different techniques and attention to specific safety concerns.
Wood-burning systems need the most frequent cleaning due to creosote buildup, while gas systems require different inspection points focused on proper venting and carbon monoxide prevention. Pellet stoves create fine ash that requires specialized removal techniques.
Many homeowners don’t realize that even gas fireplaces and furnace flues need regular inspection and cleaning. These systems can develop blockages, corrosion, or venting problems that create serious safety hazards. We handle all of these systems with the appropriate expertise and equipment.
Most chimney cleaning and inspection services take 1-3 hours, depending on the size of your chimney system and what we find during the process. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we arrive and assess your specific situation.
Before we start, we protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Our equipment contains the mess, so you won’t have soot or debris throughout your home. We respect your property and clean up completely before we leave.
During the service, we’ll explain what we’re finding and show you any areas of concern. At the end, you’ll get a clear summary of your chimney’s condition and any recommendations for repairs or maintenance. No pressure, no surprise charges—just honest information about what your chimney needs to keep your family safe.
