You get to use your fireplace without worrying about your family’s safety. No more wondering if that smell is normal or if something’s wrong with your chimney. A properly cleaned chimney draws smoke correctly, burns more efficiently, and doesn’t fill your living room with fumes.
When we’re done, you’ll have a chimney system that operates safely and efficiently. Your fireplace will burn cleaner, heat better, and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing it’s been properly maintained by certified professionals who understand Suffolk County homes.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been serving Ridge and Suffolk County homeowners with professional exterior home improvement services. We understand how New York weather affects your chimney system – from brutal winters to salty ocean air that takes its toll on masonry and metal components.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from us. You’re getting honest assessment and professional cleaning from people who live and work in this community. We’ve seen what happens when chimneys get neglected, and we’ve helped hundreds of Ridge homeowners avoid those problems before they become expensive disasters.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. That means checking the flue, damper, firebox, and exterior chimney structure for any issues that could affect safety or performance.
Next comes the actual cleaning. We remove all creosote buildup, soot, and debris from your chimney flue using professional-grade equipment. We protect your home with tarps and use high-powered vacuums to ensure no mess is left behind.
Finally, we provide you with a clear assessment of your chimney’s condition and any recommendations for maintenance or repairs. You’ll know exactly what we found and what needs attention, if anything.

Our chimney cleaning service includes complete creosote removal, soot elimination, debris clearing, and thorough system inspection. We service all types of chimney systems including wood stoves, gas fireplaces, and traditional fireplaces.
Ridge homes face unique challenges from Suffolk County’s coastal weather conditions. Salt air accelerates corrosion while freeze-thaw cycles can crack masonry. We understand these local factors and inspect for the specific issues that affect chimneys in your area.
Professional chimney cleaning in Ridge typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges, no incomplete service.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends chimney inspection at least once a year, with cleaning as needed. If you use your fireplace regularly, annual cleaning is typically necessary to remove creosote buildup that can cause dangerous chimney fires.
Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, annual inspections are still important. Suffolk County’s harsh weather conditions can cause structural issues, blockages from debris or animals, and other problems that affect safety. Regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming expensive repairs.
We remove all creosote buildup, which is the sticky, highly flammable residue that forms when wood smoke condenses on cooler chimney walls. We also eliminate soot accumulation, clear any debris like leaves or animal nests, and remove ash buildup from the firebox and smoke chamber.
Creosote is extremely dangerous – it’s the primary cause of chimney fires. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that an estimated 25,000 fires and 30 deaths yearly are attributed to chimney fires. Professional removal requires specialized brushes, vacuums, and techniques that ensure complete cleaning without damaging your chimney liner.
Yes, we service all types of chimney systems including wood stoves, gas fireplaces, and traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Each system has different cleaning requirements and safety considerations that we’re trained to handle properly.
Wood stoves typically need more frequent cleaning due to higher creosote production, while gas systems require different inspection protocols to check for proper venting and carbon monoxide safety. We have the right equipment and training for each type of system, and we’re familiar with the common configurations found in Ridge homes.
No, professional chimney cleaning should leave your home as clean as we found it. We use protective tarps around the fireplace area and high-powered vacuums to contain all debris and soot during the cleaning process.
Our cleaning process is meticulous, and we take necessary measures to guarantee that your home remains clean throughout. Before we start, we’ll move any furniture or fragile items away from the work area and seal off the fireplace opening. You shouldn’t have to deal with soot or debris in your living space when the job is done right.
Professional chimney cleaning in Ridge typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. Basic cleaning for a well-maintained chimney costs less than cleaning a heavily neglected system with significant creosote buildup.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Additional services like minor repairs or cap replacement would add to the base cost, but we’ll discuss any recommendations with you first. Beware of unusually low prices that often lead to surprise charges or incomplete service.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized knowledge and equipment that general handymen don’t typically have. Certified chimney sweeps understand proper creosote removal techniques, can identify structural problems during inspection, and know current safety codes that affect your system.
Professional chimney sweeps carry insurance and bonding that protects you if something goes wrong during service. We can also spot potential issues like damaged flue liners, crown problems, or ventilation issues that could create dangerous conditions. DIY cleaning often misses these critical safety factors and can actually make problems worse.
