No more wondering if that smell means trouble or if last winter’s heavy use created problems you can’t see. You get a chimney system that draws smoke properly, burns efficiently, and keeps dangerous gases where they belong – outside your home.
Your heating bills stay reasonable because your fireplace or wood stove operates at peak efficiency. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing a licensed professional has inspected every component that affects your family’s safety.
No surprises, no wondering, no crossing your fingers every time you light a fire. Just a clean, safe chimney that lets you enjoy your fireplace without worry.
We’ve been serving Bohemia and Suffolk County homeowners for decades at SkyLuxe Construction. We understand what Long Island’s coastal climate does to chimney systems – the salt air, moisture, and temperature swings that create specific problems.
Our family-owned business combines traditional craftsmanship with modern safety standards. We’re fully licensed and insured in Suffolk County, and our technicians are OSHA certified and trained to the latest industry standards.
Unlike larger companies that treat every job the same, we give each chimney the personal attention it deserves. Because when it comes to your family’s safety, there’s no room for shortcuts.
First, we protect your home with drop cloths and set up our high-powered HEPA vacuum system. Then we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom, checking for structural issues, creosote buildup, and any safety concerns.
Next comes the actual cleaning – we use professional brushes and specialized tools to remove all soot, creosote, and debris from your flue. Our equipment captures 99.97% of particles, so nothing ends up in your living room.
Finally, we document everything with a detailed inspection report, complete with photos and recommendations. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in and what, if anything, needs attention. We clean up completely before we leave – your home will be as clean as we found it.

Our comprehensive chimney cleaning includes creosote removal, soot and ash elimination, flue cleaning, and complete system inspection. We service all types – wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and oil heating system chimneys.
Living in Bohemia means your chimney faces constant moisture exposure and salt air that accelerates metal component deterioration. We pay special attention to dampers, caps, and flashing that commonly fail in our coastal climate.
We also remove animal nests, debris, and blockages that are common problems for Long Island homeowners. Every service includes documentation for your insurance records – many insurance companies require annual chimney maintenance, and our detailed reports satisfy those requirements.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for all chimneys, with cleaning based on usage. If you burn wood regularly, you’ll typically need cleaning every year or after every cord of wood burned.
Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but still require annual safety inspections to check for blockages, animal nests, or structural issues. In Bohemia’s coastal climate, we often recommend annual service because salt air accelerates deterioration of metal components like dampers and caps.
If you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or a strong odor coming from your fireplace even when it’s not in use, call us right away. These often indicate water damage or structural problems that affect safety.
We remove hazardous creosote buildup, which is a sticky, tar-like substance that forms when wood burns and is highly flammable. We also eliminate soot accumulation from coal and oil systems, and remove any trapped animals, nests, or leaves that can block proper ventilation.
Our high-powered HEPA vacuum system captures 99.97% of particles during cleaning, so nothing ends up in your home. We also clear any debris that’s fallen down the chimney – things like leaves, twigs, or even small animals that can create dangerous blockages.
The goal is complete removal of anything that could ignite, block airflow, or prevent your chimney from venting dangerous gases properly. A clean chimney burns more efficiently and keeps your family safer.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized brushes, extension rods, and safety equipment that most homeowners don’t have. More importantly, proper cleaning includes inspection for structural problems, creosote levels, and safety issues that require training to identify.
DIY cleaning often misses dangerous problems and can actually make things worse if done incorrectly. Professional chimney sweeps also carry insurance and know how to work safely on roofs, which eliminates liability risks for you.
We’ve seen homeowners who tried cleaning themselves miss serious issues like cracked flue liners, damaged dampers, or dangerous creosote buildup in hard-to-reach areas. The small cost of professional cleaning isn’t worth risking your family’s safety or your home’s integrity.
We’ll stop work and explain exactly what we found, why it’s a concern, and what options you have for addressing it. You’ll never be pressured into immediate repairs, but we will tell you if it’s safe to continue using your fireplace.
Our inspection report will document any issues with photos and recommendations, so you can make informed decisions about repairs. Common problems we find include cracked chimney crowns, damaged flashing, worn dampers, or excessive creosote buildup that requires special attention.
We often find that homeowners who want to start using their fireplace again after years need both cleaning and minor repairs to ensure safe operation. Even if you never plan to use your fireplace, keeping the chimney properly maintained prevents water damage and structural issues that can affect your entire home.
Yes, we service all types of chimney systems – wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and oil heating system chimneys. Each type has different maintenance requirements and potential problems that our technicians are trained to handle.
Gas systems need inspection for proper venting and carbon monoxide safety, while wood-burning systems require creosote removal and structural inspection. Our technicians are trained on all systems commonly found in Bohemia homes, including older installations that may not meet current codes but can still operate safely with proper maintenance.
We understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal environment and how different fuel types affect chimney performance. Whether you have a traditional masonry chimney or a modern prefab system, we have the expertise to keep it running safely and efficiently.
We’re a family-owned business with decades of experience specifically in Suffolk County. We understand what Long Island’s coastal climate does to chimney systems – the salt air, moisture, and temperature swings that create unique maintenance challenges.
Our technicians are OSHA certified and trained to the latest industry standards, and we use professional HEPA vacuum equipment that captures 99.97% of particles. We provide detailed inspection reports with photos for your insurance records, and we’re fully licensed and insured in Suffolk County.
Most importantly, we give each chimney personal attention rather than rushing through a checklist. We take the time to explain what we find and why it matters for your safety. Our goal isn’t just to clean your chimney – it’s to make sure you can use your fireplace safely and confidently all season long.
