Hear from Our Customers
You light a fire and it draws perfectly. No smoke backing up into your living room during family time. No wondering if that smell means trouble or if those sounds are normal.
Clean chimneys burn more efficiently. You use less wood, get more heat, and your heating bills stay reasonable. Your home stays comfortable without constantly feeding logs or dealing with poor airflow.
You sleep better knowing a professional has inspected your system. No guessing about creosote buildup or hidden problems. Just the confidence that comes from having your chimney properly maintained by someone who knows what to look for.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Suffolk County homeowners with exterior home improvement solutions for decades. We understand what Wading River homes face – salt air exposure, seasonal temperature swings, and the unique challenges of coastal Long Island living.
We’re not just chimney sweeps. We’re a full-service exterior home improvement company that specializes in roofing, siding, chimney, and gutter solutions. This means we see the bigger picture when it comes to your home’s systems and how they work together.
Our family-owned business combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. Each project gets personal oversight because your home’s safety and performance matter to us.
We start with a thorough inspection using professional equipment to assess your chimney’s condition. This isn’t a quick glance – we’re looking for structural issues, blockages, and safety concerns before we begin cleaning.
Next comes the actual cleaning. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove creosote buildup, soot, and debris from your entire chimney system. This includes the flue, damper, smoke chamber, and firebox. We protect your home with drop cloths and containment systems so dust and debris stay where they belong.
After cleaning, we provide a complete written report of our findings. If we discover any issues that need attention, we’ll explain them clearly and give you honest recommendations. No pressure, no unnecessary upselling – just straight talk about what your chimney needs.

Every chimney sweep service includes a Level 1 safety inspection, complete flue cleaning, damper and smoke chamber cleaning, and a detailed written report. We remove hazardous creosote buildup, eliminate soot and ash accumulation, and clear any blockages or debris.
Wading River homes face unique challenges. The salt air and coastal weather affect chimney materials differently than inland properties. We account for these local factors, checking specifically for corrosion, moisture issues, and weather-related wear that’s common in your area.
Our service covers all types of systems – traditional fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and gas appliances. We understand how each system works and what it needs to operate safely and efficiently throughout the heating season.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, with cleaning based on usage. If you use your fireplace regularly during heating season, annual cleaning is typically necessary.
Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, you still need that annual inspection. Animals, debris, and weather can create blockages or damage that only a professional will catch. In coastal areas like Wading River, salt air and moisture can accelerate deterioration even in unused chimneys.
Wood stove users typically need cleaning more frequently because these systems run more heavily during heating season. Gas appliances also need annual attention – while gas burns cleaner than wood, modern high-efficiency systems can still create condensation and corrosion issues that require professional maintenance.
White staining on your chimney’s exterior, rust on the damper or firebox, and smoke entering your room instead of going up the flue are all red flags. You might also notice strong odors coming from the fireplace, especially during humid weather.
Other warning signs include animals or birds in the chimney, creosote buildup that looks like black tar on the damper, and difficulty starting fires or keeping them burning properly. If your fireplace hasn’t been used in over a year, it should be inspected before you light any fires.
Don’t ignore these signs. What seems like a minor issue can quickly become a safety hazard or expensive repair. Professional inspection can identify problems early when they’re still manageable and affordable to fix.
Professional chimney cleaning in the Wading River area typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on your system’s complexity and what we find during inspection. Basic cleaning of a standard fireplace falls on the lower end, while more complex systems or those requiring additional work cost more.
Factors that affect cost include the type of system you have, how long it’s been since the last cleaning, and whether any repairs are needed. Wood stoves and multi-flue systems take more time and specialized equipment.
The investment is worth it when you consider the alternative. Chimney fires cause an estimated 25,000 house fires annually, resulting in millions in property damage and dozens of deaths. Professional cleaning and inspection prevent these disasters while keeping your heating system running efficiently.
Yes, our professional chimney services cover wood stoves, pellet stoves, and other solid fuel heating appliances. These systems actually require more frequent attention than traditional fireplaces because they’re used more heavily during heating season.
Wood and pellet stoves create different types of deposits than fireplaces, and they operate under different conditions. We understand these differences and have the specialized tools and techniques needed for each type of system.
The cleaning process for stoves includes the appliance itself, the connecting pipes, and the chimney flue. We also inspect the stove’s internal components, gaskets, and safety features to ensure everything is working properly. This comprehensive approach keeps your heating system safe and efficient all winter long.
