You get real peace of mind knowing your fireplace won’t put your family at risk. No more worrying about creosote fires or carbon monoxide backing up into your home during those cold Suffolk County winters.
Your fireplace burns cleaner and more efficiently, which means lower heating bills and better air quality inside your house. Plus, you’re meeting NFPA safety requirements that keep your insurance coverage intact.
When we’re done, your chimney works the way it should—safely removing smoke and gases while you enjoy the warmth and comfort your fireplace was designed to provide.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades. We understand the unique challenges that coastal weather brings to chimneys in Wheatley Heights—from salt air corrosion to freeze-thaw cycles that can crack masonry and create dangerous conditions.
Our certified chimney sweeps know exactly what to look for in local homes. We’ve seen how Suffolk County’s harsh winters and humid summers affect chimney systems, and we know how to keep yours working safely year after year.
As a family-owned business, we treat your home like our own. Every job gets our full attention, from the initial inspection to the final cleanup, because your family’s safety depends on it.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, checking for creosote buildup, blockages, and any structural issues that could pose safety risks. Our certified sweeps examine everything from the firebox to the chimney cap.
Next, we protect your home with drop cloths and use professional-grade equipment to remove all soot, creosote, and debris from your chimney walls and flue. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums designed specifically for chimney cleaning.
Finally, we conduct a complete safety check to ensure your chimney is clear and properly ventilating. You get a detailed report of what we found and any recommendations for maintaining your system’s safety and efficiency.

Our comprehensive chimney cleaning includes removal of dangerous creosote buildup, soot, and ash from your entire flue system. We clear animal nests, debris, and any blockages that could prevent proper ventilation.
In Wheatley Heights, where homes deal with both winter heating demands and coastal moisture, we pay special attention to signs of water damage and corrosion that can compromise your chimney’s safety. We inspect chimney caps, flashing, and masonry for damage that’s common in Suffolk County’s climate.
Every cleaning includes a safety inspection to identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. We check dampers, chimney liners, and structural components to ensure everything meets current safety standards and local building codes.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections and cleaning for all homeowners, regardless of how often you use your fireplace. In Suffolk County, where we deal with harsh winters and coastal conditions, annual cleaning is especially important.
If you use your fireplace regularly during heating season, you may need cleaning more frequently. Wood-burning fireplaces typically need cleaning after every 50-100 fires, while oil systems should be cleaned every 2-3 years.
The key is having a professional assessment each year. Our certified sweeps can tell you exactly when your specific chimney needs cleaning based on creosote buildup, usage patterns, and local conditions that affect Wheatley Heights homes.
Skipping chimney cleaning puts your family at serious risk. Creosote buildup is highly flammable and causes thousands of house fires every year. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that 25,000 fires and 30 deaths annually are attributed to chimney fires.
Beyond fire risks, dirty chimneys can cause carbon monoxide to back up into your home instead of venting safely outside. This colorless, odorless gas can be deadly, especially during winter when windows are closed and heating systems are running constantly.
You’ll also face higher heating bills because blocked or dirty chimneys reduce efficiency. Plus, insurance companies may deny claims for fire damage if you can’t prove regular maintenance. In Suffolk County’s harsh climate, neglected chimneys deteriorate faster and cost much more to repair.
There are several warning signs that indicate your chimney needs immediate attention. White staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, and a strong odor coming from your fireplace all signal problems that require professional cleaning.
If you notice smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, or if you see animals or birds in your fireplace, these are clear signs of blockages that need immediate removal. A damaged chimney cap or visible creosote buildup also indicate it’s time for cleaning.
The safest approach is annual inspection regardless of visible signs. Our certified sweeps use specialized equipment to detect problems you can’t see from ground level, especially important in Wheatley Heights where coastal weather can cause hidden damage to chimney systems.
We’re not just chimney cleaners—we’re Suffolk County’s full-service exterior home improvement specialists with decades of local experience. This means we understand how roofing, siding, and chimney systems work together, especially in coastal climates like ours.
Our certified sweeps know the specific challenges that Wheatley Heights homes face, from salt air corrosion to freeze-thaw damage that affects chimney integrity. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern safety standards, and every job gets personal oversight from our experienced team.

Professional chimney cleaning in Suffolk County typically ranges from $150 to $350, depending on your chimney’s height, condition, and type of system. The investment is minimal compared to the cost of fire damage or major structural repairs from neglected maintenance.
Factors that affect pricing include the amount of creosote buildup, accessibility of your chimney, and whether additional services like cap replacement or minor repairs are needed. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Consider that annual cleaning prevents the expensive problems that come with neglected chimneys—structural damage, insurance issues, and safety hazards that could cost thousands. Regular maintenance actually saves money by catching small issues before they become major repairs.
Yes, we provide chimney cleaning and maintenance services throughout the year in Wheatley Heights and all of Suffolk County. While many homeowners think of chimney service only before winter, spring and summer cleanings are actually ideal for thorough maintenance.
Cleaning during warmer months allows us to address any damage from winter use and prepare your system for the next heating season. It’s also more convenient for scheduling and often less expensive than peak-season service when demand is highest.
Our year-round availability means we can handle emergency situations too. If you notice problems with your chimney system at any time, we’re ready to assess and address issues quickly to keep your home safe and your heating system functioning properly.
