When your chimney works properly, your fireplace heats efficiently, dangerous gases exit safely, and water stays outside where it belongs. You get to enjoy cozy fires without worrying about carbon monoxide, house fires, or expensive water damage creeping through your walls.
A properly repaired chimney means no more cold drafts, no more smoke backing up into your living room, and no more anxiety every time you light a fire. Your heating bills stay reasonable because your fireplace actually works the way it should.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family is safe from the silent dangers that damaged chimneys create.
We at SkyLuxe Construction have been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades. We’re the local exterior specialists your East Hampton North neighbors call when they need chimney work done right.
Our family-owned company combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. We understand how Long Island’s coastal weather affects chimneys—the freeze-thaw cycles, the salt air, the heavy rains that find every tiny crack.
We’re licensed by Suffolk County Consumer Affairs and we work in East Hampton North regularly. When we fix your chimney, it stays fixed.
First, we inspect every part of your chimney system—crown, flashing, mortar joints, flue liner, and cap. We look for the obvious problems and the hidden ones that cause expensive surprises later.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. No confusing technical jargon or scare tactics—just honest assessment of what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
Then we handle the repairs using quality materials built for Suffolk County weather. Whether it’s repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, or rebuilding a deteriorated crown, we do the work that lasts.

We handle every type of chimney repair East Hampton North homeowners face. Chimney leaks from damaged flashing or cracked crowns. Masonry work for crumbling mortar joints and spalling bricks. Chimney cap replacement when yours goes missing in a storm.
Suffolk County’s weather is tough on chimneys. The coastal moisture, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional severe storms create specific problems that require local expertise. We’ve seen them all and know how to fix them permanently.
Our chimney repointing restores structural integrity. Our flashing repairs stop water infiltration. Our crown rebuilding protects your entire system from the top down. Every repair comes with materials designed for Long Island’s climate and a guarantee that backs up our work.
Most chimney repairs in Suffolk County range from $300 to $2,500, depending on what needs fixing. Simple flashing repairs typically cost $300-$600, while chimney repointing runs $400-$2,500 based on the extent of mortar damage.
Water leak repairs vary widely because the source matters. Sometimes it’s a $200 cap replacement, other times it’s $1,500 to rebuild a deteriorated crown. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what work your chimney needs and what each repair costs.
The key is catching problems early. Small cracks and minor mortar damage cost hundreds to fix now, but thousands if you wait until water destroys the internal structure.
Look for white staining on your chimney’s exterior—that’s efflorescence, which means water is getting inside and carrying minerals out through the brick. Check for loose or missing mortar between bricks, especially near the roofline.
Inside your home, watch for water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney. Rust on the damper or firebox indicates moisture problems. If you smell musty odors when it rains, water is likely entering your chimney system.
Other warning signs include damaged chimney caps, cracked chimney crowns, and plants growing from mortar joints. Any of these issues will worsen quickly in Suffolk County’s climate, so early inspection saves money and prevents bigger problems.
Most chimney leaks start with damaged flashing—the metal that seals where your chimney meets the roof. Long Island’s weather cycles expand and contract this metal until it cracks or pulls away from the chimney or roof.
Chimney crowns also crack from freeze-thaw cycles. When water gets into these cracks, it freezes, expands, and makes the cracks bigger. Soon you have water running down inside your chimney walls.
Missing or damaged chimney caps let rain pour directly down your flue. The coastal storms we get here can rip caps right off, leaving your chimney completely exposed. Once water gets inside, it damages everything from the flue liner to the firebox to your home’s interior walls.
Annual inspections are standard, but Suffolk County’s coastal weather means some chimneys need attention more frequently. If you use your fireplace regularly during winter, have it inspected every year before heating season starts.
Even if you rarely use your fireplace, the chimney still needs checking. Weather damages unused chimneys just as much as active ones—sometimes more, because small problems go unnoticed longer.
After major storms, it’s smart to have a quick inspection. High winds can damage caps, blow debris into flues, or shift flashing. Catching storm damage immediately prevents water infiltration that leads to expensive repairs later.
Simple maintenance like cleaning debris from chimney caps is fine for homeowners. But structural repairs require professional expertise and proper materials. Chimney work involves working at height, understanding building codes, and knowing which materials withstand Suffolk County’s climate.
Improper repairs often create bigger problems. We’ve seen DIY repointing jobs that used the wrong mortar type, making the chimney weaker than before. Incorrectly installed flashing creates leaks worse than the original problem.
Suffolk County requires permits for many chimney repairs, and insurance companies may not cover damage from unpermitted work. Professional repairs come with warranties and meet local building codes, protecting both your home and your investment.
Chimney repair fixes specific problems—replacing damaged flashing, repointing mortar joints, or installing new caps. Most chimneys need repairs, not complete rebuilding. Repairs typically cost hundreds to low thousands and can be completed in a day or two.
Chimney rebuilding means tearing down part or all of the chimney and reconstructing it. This is necessary when the structure is unsafe—severely leaning chimneys, extensively damaged masonry, or deteriorated internal components that can’t be repaired.
Rebuilding costs significantly more, often $5,000-$15,000 depending on the extent of work needed. However, many homeowners who think they need rebuilding actually just need targeted repairs. A proper inspection determines which approach makes sense for your situation and budget.
