Hear from Our Customers
You light your fireplace without that nagging worry in the back of your mind. No smoke backing into your living room. No strange odors during humid summer months. No wondering if this is the time something goes wrong.
Your chimney draws perfectly because creosote, soot, and debris are gone. Your flue is clear. Your family is safe from the thousands of preventable chimney fires that happen every year.
You actually use your fireplace again. It becomes what it was meant to be—a place where your family gathers, where you stay warm during power outages, where you create the moments that matter most.
We at SkyLuxe Construction Inc have been serving Suffolk County homeowners who demand quality and reliability. We’re the full-service exterior home improvement specialists who understand that your chimney is more than just bricks and mortar—it’s your family’s safety system.
Our certified technicians know Springs homes. We’ve cleaned chimneys in neighborhoods from the historic districts to the newer developments. We understand how Long Island’s coastal weather affects your chimney system and what it takes to keep it working properly year after year.
When you see our trucks in your Springs neighborhood, you know we’re there because your neighbors trust us with their most important investment—their home and their family’s safety.
We start with a complete inspection using professional cameras to see exactly what’s happening inside your flue. You’ll see what we see—every buildup, every potential issue, every area that needs attention.
Then we get to work. Professional-grade brushes and tools remove creosote, soot, and debris from your entire chimney system. We clean from top to bottom, making sure your flue draws properly and safely.
You get a detailed report showing before and after conditions. No surprises, no hidden problems discovered later. You know exactly what we found, what we cleaned, and what your chimney needs to keep your family safe. The whole process is designed to give you complete confidence in your fireplace system.

Every chimney cleaning and sweep includes complete creosote removal, soot and ash removal, flue cleaning, and debris clearance. We inspect your chimney cap, damper, and flue liner condition. You receive a comprehensive report with photos showing your chimney’s condition before and after cleaning.
Springs homeowners face unique challenges with coastal moisture and temperature swings that can accelerate creosote buildup. Our service addresses these local conditions specifically. We check for moisture damage, inspect for proper ventilation, and ensure your system can handle Suffolk County’s weather patterns.
The National Fire Protection Association requires annual chimney inspections and cleaning when necessary. We meet and exceed these standards, giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your system is properly maintained and safe for your family.
If you use your fireplace occasionally, annual cleaning meets safety standards and keeps your system in good condition. If you burn wood regularly as a primary heat source, you’ll need more frequent cleaning—sometimes twice a year depending on usage.
Springs homeowners should also consider our coastal location. Salt air and humidity can accelerate deterioration of chimney components and affect how creosote builds up in your flue. We recommend annual inspections regardless of usage to catch moisture-related issues before they become expensive problems.
The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 requires annual inspections for soundness and freedom from deposits. This isn’t just a recommendation—it’s the recognized safety standard that protects your family and your home.
Creosote buildup is the biggest risk. This black, sticky, highly combustible substance accumulates every time you burn wood. When it reaches dangerous levels, it can ignite and cause a chimney fire that burns extremely hot and fast—hot enough to crack your flue liner and spread to your home’s structure.
You’ll also experience performance problems. Smoke backing into your rooms, poor draft that makes fires hard to start and maintain, and strong odors during humid weather are all signs of a chimney that needs professional cleaning.
Moisture damage accelerates when your chimney isn’t properly maintained. Springs’ coastal climate means salt air and humidity can cause rapid deterioration of mortar joints, flue liners, and chimney caps when combined with creosote deposits that hold moisture against chimney surfaces.
Look for CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certification—this is the gold standard for chimney professionals. Certified sweeps have completed rigorous training and testing on chimney safety, inspection techniques, and proper cleaning methods.
Ask about insurance and licensing. Professional chimney sweeps carry liability insurance and any required local licenses. They should be able to provide proof of both without hesitation.
The chimney industry isn’t regulated like other trades, which means anyone can call themselves a chimney sweep. We’ve seen too many Springs homeowners get burned by inexperienced sweeps who cause damage or recommend expensive unnecessary repairs. Always verify credentials before letting anyone work on your chimney system.
Chimney cleaning removes creosote, soot, debris, and blockages from your flue system using professional brushes and tools. It’s the physical maintenance that keeps your chimney functioning safely and efficiently.
Chimney inspection evaluates the condition and safety of your entire chimney system. We use cameras to examine flue liner condition, check for cracks or damage, assess chimney cap and damper function, and identify any structural issues that could affect safety or performance.
The best approach combines both services. Professional cleaning addresses immediate safety concerns by removing combustible deposits, while inspection identifies potential problems before they become dangerous or expensive. That’s why we include both in our comprehensive service—you get a clean, safe chimney and the knowledge that your entire system is in good condition.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized tools, safety equipment, and knowledge that most homeowners don’t have. Professional brushes, extension rods, drop cloths, and vacuum systems designed for creosote removal aren’t typically found in home toolsheds.
More importantly, proper chimney cleaning involves identifying problems that could put your family at risk. Cracked flue liners, damaged dampers, or structural issues aren’t obvious to untrained eyes but can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or house fires.
The liability and safety risks aren’t worth the savings. Professional chimney sweeps carry insurance, use proper safety equipment for roof work, and know how to handle hazardous creosote deposits safely. When you consider the cost of potential damage from improper cleaning versus professional service, the choice is clear.
Spring and early summer are ideal for chimney cleaning in Springs. Your fireplace season is over, so we can clean thoroughly without interrupting your heating needs. Summer cleaning also eliminates odors from creosote buildup before humid weather makes them worse.
Scheduling during warmer months gives you time to address any issues we discover during inspection. If repairs are needed, you have months to complete them before you need your fireplace again in fall.
Early scheduling also means better availability and often better pricing. By the time October arrives and everyone remembers they need chimney service, the best companies are booked solid. Smart Springs homeowners schedule their annual cleaning in late spring or early summer and enjoy worry-free fireplace use all winter long.
