SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Northport and Suffolk County homeowners for years. We’re not a faceless corporation from somewhere else – we’re local contractors who live and work in your community.
We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s coastal climate presents. That salty ocean air, brutal winters, and constant weather changes can accelerate chimney deterioration faster than most areas. We know the local building codes, common chimney issues in the area, and what it takes to keep your system running safely.
Our family-owned business combines decades of exterior renovation experience with modern techniques. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with the right tools to handle everything from routine annual cleaning to complex repairs.
First, we protect your home with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Our industrial vacuum equipment contains dust and debris during the entire cleaning process, so you don’t have to worry about mess.
We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney system from top to bottom. This Level 1 inspection checks for structural soundness, clear passages, and identifies any blockages or damage that need attention before cleaning begins.
Next comes the actual sweep using professional-grade brushes sized specifically for your chimney and powerful vacuum systems. We remove creosote, soot, and debris from the entire flue system, from firebox to chimney crown. Everything stays contained and controlled throughout the process.
You get a written report with photos documenting your chimney’s condition and any recommendations. No surprises, no scare tactics – just honest assessments so you can make informed decisions about your chimney’s maintenance.

Every chimney cleaning includes thorough creosote and soot removal, which is crucial for Northport homeowners who use their fireplaces regularly during our cold winters. Creosote buildup is highly flammable and causes thousands of chimney fires every year.
We also check your damper, flue liner, and exterior structure for signs of damage that Suffolk County’s harsh weather can cause. White staining on exterior brick, rust on the damper, and water leaks are serious warning signs we watch for.
Our service covers the complete flue system cleaning, professional inspection documentation, and transparent communication about what we find. If you smell strong odors from your fireplace when not in use, see damaged mortar joints, or notice loose bricks, we identify these issues before they become expensive problems.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and if you burn wood regularly during winter months, you likely need cleaning every year. Northport’s coastal climate can accelerate deterioration, making regular inspection even more critical for maintaining safety and preventing costly repairs.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all homeowners who use their fireplace or wood stove. If you burn wood regularly during Northport’s winter months, you likely need cleaning every year.
Light users might go longer between cleanings, but the annual inspection is still important because it catches structural issues, water damage, and animal intrusion that can happen regardless of how often you burn fires. Northport’s coastal climate can accelerate deterioration, making regular inspection even more critical for maintaining safety and preventing expensive repairs.
Your usage patterns, the type of fuel you burn, and local weather conditions all factor into the frequency. Wood-burning fireplaces require more frequent cleaning than gas systems because they produce more creosote and soot buildup.
Professional chimney cleaning in Northport typically ranges from $150 to $300 depending on your chimney’s size, condition, and accessibility. Single-flue chimneys cost less than multi-flue systems, and heavily soiled chimneys or those requiring special equipment may cost more.
Most reputable companies provide upfront pricing before starting work. You should avoid unusually low prices that often indicate corner-cutting or high-pressure upselling tactics. Quality chimney sweeps invest in proper equipment, insurance, and training, which is reflected in fair pricing.
Always get written estimates and ask what’s included in the service. A complete service should include inspection, cleaning, debris removal, and a written report of your chimney’s condition. Transparent pricing and clear communication about what you’re getting are signs of a professional service.
Several warning signs indicate your Northport chimney needs attention. If you notice smoke not drafting properly, unpleasant odors coming from your fireplace even when not in use, or visible soot buildup, schedule a cleaning immediately.
Other red flags include white staining on the exterior brick, rust on the damper or firebox, water leaks, damaged mortar joints, and loose bricks. These are serious warning signs that need immediate professional attention to prevent dangerous situations.
You might also notice cold air coming down your chimney, animals or birds in the flue, or damaged chimney caps and crowns. Don’t wait if you see these issues – they can quickly turn into expensive problems or safety hazards if left unaddressed.
