Your chimney works like it should. No more water dripping into your living room during storms. No more smoke backing up into your house when you try to use your fireplace. No more wondering if that crack in the chimney crown is going to turn into a major structural problem.
You get a chimney that protects your home instead of threatening it. One that adds value to your property instead of becoming a liability. Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your family is safe from carbon monoxide leaks and fire hazards.
We handle everything from minor mortar repairs to complete chimney rebuilds, but our goal is always the same – get your chimney working properly so you can stop worrying about it.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Suffolk County families for decades. We’re not the new guys trying to figure things out – we’re the local company your neighbors trust with their most important home repairs.
Our team understands what Greenlawn chimneys face. The salt air from the nearby coast. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints. The way Long Island storms drive water into even the smallest gaps. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to fix it.
Every job gets personal attention from our family to yours. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to doing the work right the first time so you don’t have to call someone else to fix our mistakes.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. Not just a quick look – a thorough examination of the crown, cap, flashing, mortar joints, and flue liner. We take photos so you can see exactly what we’re seeing.
Then we explain what needs to be fixed and why. No surprises, no hidden problems discovered halfway through the job. You get a clear written estimate that covers everything needed to get your chimney working properly.
Once you approve the work, we handle everything. We protect your property, complete the repairs using quality materials, and clean up when we’re done. You get a warranty on our work because we stand behind what we do.

We fix the problems that actually matter to Greenlawn homeowners. Chimney leaks that let water damage your walls and ceilings. Cracked crowns that let moisture freeze and expand, making the damage worse every winter. Damaged flashing that turns every rainstorm into a potential disaster.
Our chimney masonry repair restores structural integrity to crumbling bricks and deteriorated mortar joints. We handle chimney repointing, crown repair, cap replacement, and flue liner installation. If your firebox is cracked or your damper isn’t sealing properly, we fix those too.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate is tough on chimneys. The combination of salt air, temperature swings, and heavy storms means your chimney takes a beating year-round. That’s why we use materials specifically chosen to withstand Long Island conditions and installation methods proven to last.
Chimney repair costs in Suffolk County typically range from a few hundred dollars for minor mortar repairs to several thousand for major structural work. The exact cost depends on what needs to be fixed and how extensive the damage is.
Minor repairs like repointing small sections of mortar or replacing a chimney cap usually cost $300-$800. More involved work like crown rebuilding, flashing replacement, or flue liner installation can range from $1,200-$3,500. Complete chimney rebuilds start around $4,000-$8,000 depending on height and complexity.
The key is catching problems early. A $400 mortar repair today prevents a $4,000 rebuild later. We always provide written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Water damage tops the list. Greenlawn’s location near the coast means your chimney faces salt air, heavy rains, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar and let water in. Once water gets inside, it causes rapid deterioration of bricks, mortar, and metal components.
Damaged flashing is another major issue. The metal strips that seal the connection between your chimney and roof take a beating from Long Island storms. When flashing fails, water pours directly into your home’s structure, causing expensive damage to walls, ceilings, and framing.
Crown problems are also common here. The concrete cap on top of your chimney cracks from temperature changes, letting water freeze inside the cracks and making them bigger every winter. We see a lot of chimneys where a small crown crack turned into major structural damage because it wasn’t fixed promptly.
Water stains on walls or ceilings near your chimney are the biggest red flag. If you see discoloration, peeling paint, or actual water dripping during storms, your chimney has a leak that needs immediate attention.
Visible damage to the chimney exterior is another clear sign. Cracked or missing mortar, loose bricks, rust stains, or a damaged chimney cap all indicate problems that will only get worse. White staining on the outside of your chimney (called efflorescence) means water is getting into the masonry and bringing salts to the surface.
Inside your home, smoke entering the room when you use your fireplace, strong odors coming from the chimney, or animals getting into your home through the chimney all signal serious problems. Don’t wait – these issues can quickly become safety hazards or cause major structural damage.
It depends on what type of repair work is being done and whether your chimney is safe to operate. For minor exterior work like repointing or crown repair, you can usually continue using your fireplace as long as the flue and interior components are intact.
However, if we’re working on the flue liner, damper, or any interior components, you’ll need to avoid using the fireplace until repairs are complete. The same goes for major structural repairs where we need to remove sections of the chimney or install new components.
We always let you know upfront if repairs will affect your ability to use the fireplace and approximately how long the work will take. Most repairs are completed within 1-3 days, so any inconvenience is minimal. Safety comes first – we’ll never tell you it’s okay to use a fireplace that could put your family at risk.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and stand behind every repair we make. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work performed, but we typically provide 2-5 year warranties on structural repairs and 1-2 year warranties on smaller jobs like repointing or flashing replacement.
Our warranties cover defects in our workmanship, not normal wear and tear or damage from severe weather events. If something we repaired fails due to improper installation or materials, we’ll fix it at no charge to you.
We also help you understand what’s covered under manufacturer warranties for components like chimney caps, dampers, or flue liners. Many of these products come with their own warranties that we’ll help you navigate if problems arise. The goal is making sure you’re protected long after we finish the job.
Most chimney repairs in Greenlawn are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the scope of work and weather conditions. Simple jobs like chimney cap replacement or minor repointing can often be finished in a single day.
More extensive repairs like crown rebuilding, major masonry work, or flue liner installation typically take 2-3 days. We work efficiently but never rush the job – proper curing time for mortar and sealants is essential for long-lasting repairs.
Weather can affect timing, especially for exterior work. We won’t do masonry repairs in freezing temperatures or during heavy rain because it compromises the quality of the work. We’ll reschedule if conditions aren’t right rather than deliver subpar results. When we give you a timeline, we factor in realistic expectations for Long Island weather patterns.
