You get a chimney that works the way it should. No smoke backing up into your living room during those cold Suffolk County nights. No creosote buildup threatening your family’s safety.
Your fireplace draws properly, burns efficiently, and gives you the warmth you’re paying for. You sleep better knowing carbon monoxide isn’t leaking through cracks you can’t see. And you avoid the nightmare of emergency repairs that could have been prevented with regular maintenance.
When your chimney is professionally cleaned and maintained, your heating bills stay predictable, your insurance stays valid, and your family stays safe.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for decades at SkyLuxe Construction Inc. We’re not just another chimney company—we’re your neighbors who understand what Cutchogue winters do to your chimney.
Our team knows the unique challenges that come with this area’s weather patterns. The freeze-thaw cycles, the salty coastal air, the historic homes with their specific maintenance needs. We’ve cleaned chimneys in houses built in the 1700s and brand-new constructions alike.
When you call us, you’re getting a family-owned business that takes personal responsibility for every job. We show up on time, work clean, and leave your home exactly as we found it—except with a safer, more efficient chimney.
First, we protect your home. Tarps go down, furniture gets covered, and we seal off your living space so no soot or debris makes its way inside.
Next, we inspect everything from top to bottom. We’re looking for creosote buildup, animal nests, damaged flue tiles, or anything else that could cause problems. You’ll know exactly what we find before we start any work.
Then comes the actual cleaning. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove every bit of creosote, soot, and debris from your flue, smoke chamber, and damper. We work from both the top and bottom to make sure nothing gets missed.
Finally, we do a complete cleanup and final inspection. Your chimney gets a clean bill of health, and your home stays spotless throughout the entire process.

Every chimney cleaning includes a thorough inspection, complete creosote removal, debris clearing, and damper check. We also examine your chimney cap, flue liner, and exterior masonry for any signs of damage or wear.
In Cutchogue, we see specific issues that come with coastal living and historic architecture. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, and older chimneys often have clay liners that crack over time. We know what to look for and how to address these local challenges.
You’ll receive a detailed report of our findings, including photos of any problem areas and our recommendations for repairs or maintenance. We believe in transparency—you should know exactly what’s happening with your chimney and why our recommendations matter for your safety and wallet.
Our service covers wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and even boiler flues. Whatever heats your home, we make sure it vents safely and efficiently.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections and cleanings, but your specific needs depend on how you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly, you’ll likely need cleaning every year or after every cord of wood burned.
Gas fireplaces still need annual inspections even if they don’t require cleaning as frequently. The key is catching problems early—Suffolk County’s harsh weather conditions can cause damage that develops quickly if left unchecked.
We typically recommend scheduling your cleaning in late summer or early fall, before you start using your fireplace for the season. This gives us time to address any issues we find before you need your heating system.
White staining on your exterior chimney is a red flag—that’s efflorescence, which indicates water damage. If you smell strong odors coming from your fireplace when it’s not in use, that’s usually creosote buildup or animal intrusion.
Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney is another clear sign. This could mean a blockage, damper problems, or structural issues that need immediate attention.
Animals or birds in your chimney create serious fire hazards and health risks. If you hear scratching or see animals around your chimney, don’t use your fireplace until we can safely remove them and clean out any nesting materials.
Most chimney cleanings in Suffolk County range from $130 to $400, depending on your chimney’s size, condition, and accessibility. A standard cleaning for a typical Cutchogue home usually falls around $250.
The cost can be higher if we discover issues that need immediate attention, like extensive creosote buildup or animal nests. However, we always explain what we find and get your approval before doing any additional work.
Think of it this way—annual cleaning costs far less than emergency repairs or dealing with fire damage. We’ve seen homeowners save thousands by catching problems early through regular maintenance.
Absolutely. Gas fireplaces still produce combustion byproducts that can create buildup over time. While they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces, they can develop other issues that affect safety and efficiency.
Gas fireplace inspections focus on the venting system, gas connections, and making sure everything is functioning properly. We check for blockages, corrosion, and proper airflow that keeps carbon monoxide from entering your home.
Many Cutchogue homeowners are surprised to learn that gas fireplaces need maintenance too. The inspection process is different from wood-burning chimneys, but it’s just as important for your family’s safety.
We stop work immediately and explain exactly what we’ve found. You’ll see photos of any issues, understand why they’re problems, and get clear recommendations for next steps.
Minor issues like small amounts of mortar repair or chimney cap adjustments can often be handled the same day with your approval. Larger problems like liner replacement or major masonry work require separate scheduling and detailed estimates.
We never surprise you with unexpected charges. If additional work is needed beyond basic cleaning, we discuss options, timing, and costs upfront. Your safety is our priority, but so is your budget and peace of mind.
Most chimney cleanings take about an hour from start to finish, including setup and cleanup. This covers everything—protecting your home, inspecting the chimney, doing the actual cleaning, and leaving your space spotless.
More complex situations can take longer. If we find extensive creosote buildup, animal nests, or need to address minor repairs during the visit, it might stretch to 90 minutes or two hours.
We always give you a realistic timeframe when we arrive and keep you updated if anything changes. Our goal is to work efficiently while being thorough—we’re not trying to rush through your home’s safety.
