Hear from Our Customers
You light your fireplace and actually relax. No more wondering if something’s wrong or whether that last storm damaged something you can’t see.
Your chimney draws properly because it’s been cleaned and inspected by someone who knows what to look for. The creosote buildup is gone, your chimney cap is secure, and your flue functions exactly as it should.
When winter hits Coram and you want that fire going, everything works. No emergency calls, no last-minute scrambling for repairs, no safety concerns keeping you up at night.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family legacy brought to life in Suffolk County, with decades of exterior renovation experience.
We understand how salt air, seasonal weather, and the age of Long Island homes affect chimney systems. Most of the chimneys we work on in Coram are 20 to 40 years old, and we’ve seen what works, what fails, and what homeowners actually need.
We’re not the company that shows up and immediately tells you everything needs to be replaced. We start with honest assessments and transparent communication about what your chimney really needs.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. That means checking the flue, examining the chimney cap, looking at the exterior masonry, and testing the damper.
Next, we protect your home with drop cloths and set up our professional equipment. We handle everything from minor repairs like repointing mortar joints to major work like chimney crown replacement or flashing repair.
After the work is complete, we walk you through what we found and what we did. You’ll know the current condition of your chimney and what to watch for going forward. No surprises, no hidden issues left for later.

Our chimney repair services cover what Suffolk County homeowners actually face. Comprehensive cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes thousands of chimney fires annually.
We handle chimney cap installation and repair to keep water, animals, and debris out of your flue. Chimney liner replacement when your current liner is damaged or deteriorating. Flue repair for proper ventilation and safety.
Spring and early summer are ideal for chimney work in Coram. You can address any damage from winter weather before it gets worse, and we have better availability than during the busy fall season. Spring repairs catch problems while you have time to plan without rushing.
Professional chimney cleaning and inspection in the Coram area typically ranges from $200 to $400, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. A standard cleaning and Level 1 inspection for a well-maintained chimney costs less than dealing with extensive creosote buildup or access challenges.
More detailed inspections or repairs cost additional, but we always explain what’s needed and why before doing any extra work. The cost of professional maintenance is minimal compared to dealing with a chimney fire or major structural damage from neglect.
We provide detailed written estimates outlining the scope of work and associated costs, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Most homeowners should have their chimney inspected annually and cleaned when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness. However, there are many factors that affect this, including the weather, how you use your fireplace, and how your appliance is functioning.
Level 1 inspections are basic visual checks fine for routine maintenance when there are no problems. Level 2 inspections include camera work inside the flue and are required when you’re buying a home, after weather events, or when you’re experiencing issues with your fireplace.
For most Coram homeowners, Level 1 inspections during routine maintenance and Level 2 when problems arise cover what’s needed to keep your system safe and functional.
Your chimney may need repair if you experience trouble starting a fire in your fireplace, smoke that refuses to leave your home, or soot dropping into the fireplace. A bad smell coming from your chimney or cold air around your chimney are also warning signs.
Chipping or peeling mortar, a cracked chimney liner, or rusty, bent dampers can allow dangerous gases to escape into your home. These issues can cause breathing problems, nausea, or even carbon monoxide poisoning.
Don’t ignore these signs. If you notice any of these problems, contact us for an inspection before using your fireplace again. Early detection prevents expensive emergencies and keeps your family safe.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, safety gear, and knowledge of what to look for during the process. Professional chimney sweeps have the brushes, vacuums, and protective equipment needed to do the job safely and thoroughly.
More importantly, we know how to identify potential safety issues that untrained homeowners might miss. Creosote buildup is highly flammable and can easily ignite, causing a chimney fire that could damage your home and put your family at risk.
We’ve been serving Coram and Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we understand the specific challenges that Long Island chimneys face. Professional cleaning ensures your chimney is truly safe, not just superficially clean.
Salt air exposure and freeze-thaw cycles common to Long Island can damage masonry over time. We frequently see cracked chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar joints, and damaged flashing that allows water intrusion.
Creosote and soot buildup is another major issue, especially in chimneys that aren’t cleaned regularly. This buildup restricts airflow and creates fire hazards that can spread to your home.
Older Coram homes often have chimney liners that are cracked or deteriorating, allowing dangerous gases to leak into living spaces. We also see damaged chimney caps that let animals, debris, and weather into the flue system.
We’re a family legacy business with decades of exterior renovation experience specifically in Suffolk County. We understand how Long Island’s unique conditions affect chimney systems, and we’ve seen what works and what fails over time.
We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, providing personal oversight on every project. Our approach focuses on honest assessments rather than immediately recommending expensive replacements like some contractors do.
You get transparent communication, detailed estimates, and work backed by comprehensive warranties. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to building relationships through honesty and integrity, not just completing transactions.
