You know that nagging worry every time it rains hard. Is water getting into your chimney? Is that crack getting worse?
Living this close to the ocean means your chimney takes a beating from salt air, moisture, and extreme weather that most inland homes never face. What starts as a small leak or crack can turn into thousands in structural damage if you wait.
When we’re done, you’ll sleep soundly knowing your chimney is sealed, structurally sound, and ready for whatever weather Amagansett throws at it. No more buckets in the attic, no more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting bigger.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family legacy built on decades of exterior home improvement experience right here in Suffolk County.
We’ve seen what Amagansett’s coastal environment does to chimneys. The salt air that makes your morning coffee taste better? It’s constantly working to break down your chimney’s mortar and flashing. The beautiful ocean breezes? They drive moisture into every crack and crevice.
That’s why we don’t just patch problems—we solve them with materials and techniques designed for coastal conditions. When your neighbors need chimney work done right, they call us.
First, we inspect every inch of your chimney—inside and out. We’re looking for the obvious problems and the ones that haven’t shown themselves yet. You get photos and a clear explanation of what we find.
Next, we give you a transparent quote with no surprises. We explain what needs immediate attention and what can wait, so you can make informed decisions about your home.
Then we get to work. We use materials built for coastal conditions and techniques that account for the constant moisture and temperature changes your chimney faces. When we’re finished, we test everything and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and when to call us back.

Every chimney repair job is different, but here’s what most Amagansett homeowners need: chimney crown repair to stop water from pooling on top, flashing repair where your chimney meets the roof, and repointing to replace deteriorated mortar between bricks.
We also handle chimney cap replacement, cracked chimney repair, and firebox restoration. If your chimney liner is damaged, we install new stainless steel liners that can handle the corrosive effects of salt air.
The key difference? We understand that coastal chimneys need different materials and approaches than inland homes. Standard mortar won’t cut it here. Neither will generic flashing or caps that can’t handle constant moisture exposure.
Chimney repair costs in Suffolk County vary widely depending on what needs fixing. Minor repairs like sealing cracks or replacing a chimney cap typically run a few hundred dollars. More extensive work like chimney crown repair, flashing replacement, or repointing can range from $1,000 to $3,000.
Major structural repairs or partial rebuilds can cost significantly more, but catching problems early saves thousands. That’s why we always recommend annual inspections, especially in coastal areas like Amagansett where weather damage happens faster.
We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Your chimney faces challenges that most Suffolk County homes never deal with. Salt air is constantly working to break down mortar joints and corrode metal components. The high humidity accelerates water damage, and temperature swings from ocean breezes cause expansion and contraction that creates cracks.
Most chimney problems we see in Amagansett are moisture-related. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and thaws repeatedly, and turns minor issues into major structural problems. The salt content in the air also makes standard materials break down faster than they would inland.
That’s why we use specialized materials designed for coastal conditions and recommend annual inspections rather than the typical every-other-year schedule.
The most obvious signs are water stains on walls or ceilings near your chimney, especially after heavy rain. You might notice white staining on the outside of your chimney (called efflorescence), which means water is getting in and pulling salts out of the masonry.
Look for loose or missing mortar between bricks, rust on your damper or firebox, or a chimney cap that’s cracked or missing entirely. If you see actual chunks of brick or mortar around the base of your chimney, that’s a clear sign of deterioration.
Inside your home, watch for musty odors coming from your fireplace, especially when it’s humid. This often indicates water infiltration that hasn’t shown up as visible stains yet.
Most chimney repairs take one to three days, depending on the scope of work. Simple jobs like chimney cap replacement or minor repointing can often be completed in a single day if weather cooperates.
More extensive work like chimney crown repair, flashing replacement, or significant repointing typically takes two to three days. We need time for materials to cure properly, especially in Amagansett’s humid conditions.
Weather plays a big role in timing. We can’t do masonry work in freezing temperatures or during heavy rain, and coastal weather can change quickly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions affect our schedule.
Yes, we understand that chimney problems don’t wait for convenient times. If you have an active leak during a storm or notice sudden structural damage, we provide emergency repair services to prevent further damage to your home.
Emergency calls typically involve temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water infiltration, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We carry tarps, sealants, and other materials to provide quick protection while we plan the proper fix.
Keep in mind that some emergency repairs might be temporary solutions to prevent damage until we can complete permanent work. We’ll always explain what we’re doing and what follow-up work will be needed.
