Your fireplace works the way it should. No smoke backing up into your living room, no weird smells, no worrying about whether it’s safe to light a fire.
Clean chimneys mean proper airflow, which means efficient heating and lower energy costs. You get peace of mind knowing dangerous creosote buildup is gone, carbon monoxide isn’t trapped in your home, and your insurance stays valid.
Most importantly, you can actually enjoy your fireplace instead of stressing about it. That’s what happens when your chimney is maintained by professionals who understand Suffolk County homes and the unique challenges of coastal weather.
We’ve been serving Selden families for years as a trusted exterior home improvement specialist. We’re not just another contractor – we’re a family-run business that understands what Suffolk County homeowners need.
Our chimney cleaning team knows how Long Island’s salt air and coastal weather affect your chimney system differently than inland properties. We’ve seen what happens when maintenance gets skipped, and we’d rather help you avoid those expensive surprises.
You get straight answers, fair pricing, and work that’s done right the first time. No upselling, no scare tactics – just honest chimney services from contractors who live and work in your community.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, from the firebox up to the cap. You get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what we found – no guesswork, no hidden problems discovered later.
If cleaning is needed, we protect your home with proper coverings and use professional-grade equipment to remove all creosote, debris, and blockages. Our process creates zero mess in your home.
Every job includes a final inspection to make sure everything meets safety standards. You’ll know your chimney is ready for safe use, and we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for how often you actually use your fireplace.

Complete creosote and soot removal using specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums. We remove animal nests, debris, and anything else blocking your flue.
Safety inspection of your chimney liner, damper, cap, and crown. We check for cracks, water damage, and structural issues that could put your Selden home at risk.
In Suffolk County, we see specific challenges from coastal weather – salt air corrosion, moisture problems, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry. Our cleaning process addresses these local issues while ensuring your chimney operates safely and efficiently through another Long Island winter.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, but your actual cleaning frequency depends on how much you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly throughout the winter, you’ll likely need cleaning every year.
Occasional users might go two years between cleanings, but the annual safety inspection is still important. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but should still be inspected annually for proper ventilation and to check for animal nests or debris that could block the flue.
We’ll give you a realistic maintenance schedule based on your actual usage patterns, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation that doesn’t match how you actually use your fireplace.
White staining on the outside of your chimney means water is getting in and needs to be addressed quickly. Rust on your damper or firebox, water leaks in your attic or around the fireplace, and smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney are all red flags.
Other warning signs include trouble starting fires, soot dropping into the fireplace, bad smells coming from your chimney, and cold air drafts around your fireplace area. If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait – they typically get worse and more expensive to fix.
The smallest amount of soot buildup can cause a chimney fire, which can damage the chimney structure and spread into your home. It’s always better to address problems early when they’re still manageable.
Basic chimney cleaning and inspection typically runs $200-400 depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. Minor repairs like chimney cap replacement or basic flue work usually cost $300-800.
The wide range depends on what we find during inspection and how much buildup needs to be removed. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and we’ll help you prioritize repairs based on safety and budget.
Emergency calls during peak season cost more, which is why we recommend scheduling maintenance during spring or early fall. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency situations and keeps costs predictable.
While you can buy chimney cleaning brushes and rods, professional cleaning involves more than just scrubbing the flue. We have specialized equipment to contain mess, properly dispose of creosote and debris, and most importantly, we know what to look for during the process.
Chimney cleaning can be dangerous – you’re working on a roof, dealing with potentially toxic creosote, and need to properly inspect for structural problems. One missed crack in your liner could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or a house fire.
CSIA-certified chimney sweeps complete in-depth, hands-on training for proper inspections, maintenance, and safety techniques. We catch problems you might miss and handle the job safely while protecting your home from damage.
