Hear from Our Customers
You get a chimney that drafts properly, keeps your family safe, and won’t leak when the next storm hits. No more smoke backing up into your living room or water stains on your ceiling.
After we’re done, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your chimney can handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it. Your fireplace will work the way it’s supposed to, and you won’t be dealing with emergency repairs at the worst possible time.
The difference is having a chimney system that’s built to last in Suffolk County’s coastal climate, not just patched up until the next problem.
We’ve been fixing chimneys in Laurel, NY and throughout Suffolk County for decades. We’re not the fly-by-night guys who disappear after the job.
We understand what Long Island’s coastal weather does to chimneys. The freeze-thaw cycles, the salt air, the nor’easters – we’ve seen it all and know exactly how to fix it right the first time.
Every job gets personal oversight from our team, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques that actually work in our climate. When you call us, you’re getting a family business that stands behind our work.
First, we inspect everything – not just the obvious problem. We check the crown, flashing, mortar joints, liner, and cap to see what’s really going on with your chimney system.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. You’ll understand the root cause, not just the symptoms, and get a clear picture of what it takes to solve the problem permanently.
Then we do the work using materials designed for Suffolk County’s harsh coastal conditions. When we’re done, your chimney will be ready for whatever comes next, and you’ll know exactly what we did and why it matters.

You get comprehensive chimney repair that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. We handle everything from cracked mortar joints and chimney repointing to damaged flashing and leaky chimney crowns.
In Laurel, NY, we see a lot of water damage from coastal storms and freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry over time. We fix the structural issues properly and waterproof using techniques that work in our specific climate conditions.
Our chimney masonry repair service includes thorough inspection, honest assessment, quality materials that can handle salt air and temperature swings, and the kind of workmanship that lasts decades. No shortcuts, no temporary fixes that fail when you need them most.
Most chimney repairs in Laurel, NY run between $400 and $2,500, depending on what actually needs fixing. Simple chimney repointing might cost $400-800, while chimney crown repair or major flashing work can run $1,200-2,500.
We always provide a written estimate before starting any work. No surprises, no “we found more problems” upcharges unless you approve them first. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
The key is getting problems fixed before they turn into bigger, more expensive issues. A $500 repair today beats a $5,000 emergency chimney rebuild next winter when everything’s frozen and contractors are booked solid.
Get your chimney inspected every spring after Long Island’s harsh winters. Freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on mortar joints and chimney flashing, and you want to catch problems before they get worse.
Also schedule an inspection after major storms or if you notice any changes – smoke not drafting properly, white staining on the outside, or water stains inside your home. These are warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored.
Don’t wait until fall when everyone’s calling for chimney repairs. Spring inspections mean you can fix problems during good weather and be ready for next winter’s heating season.
Water damage is the biggest issue we see in Laurel, NY. Our coastal location means salt air, driving rain, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar and damage chimney flashing over time.
Cracked chimney crowns are extremely common here. When water gets in and freezes, it expands and makes the cracks worse every winter until you’re dealing with major structural problems.
We also see frequent damage to flashing where the chimney meets the roof. High winds and ice dams put extra stress on these connections, leading to leaks that can damage your home’s interior structure if not addressed quickly.
Yes, we handle emergency chimney repairs when safety is at risk. If you’re getting water in your fireplace, smoke backing up into your home, or see obvious structural damage, call us right away.
Emergency situations include active chimney leaks during storms, damaged chimneys after high winds, or any situation where using your fireplace could be dangerous for your family’s safety.
We prioritize safety issues and can often provide temporary solutions to make things safe while scheduling proper permanent repairs. Don’t try to use a damaged chimney – the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning or house fires aren’t worth it.
Done right with quality materials, most chimney repairs should last 15-25 years in Suffolk County’s coastal climate. The key is using materials designed for coastal conditions and doing the work properly the first time.
Cheap chimney repairs with inferior materials might last 3-5 years before failing again. We use marine-grade sealants, proper flashing techniques, and mortar mixes specifically designed to handle our weather conditions.
Regular maintenance extends the life of any repair work. A yearly inspection and minor touch-ups prevent small issues from becoming major problems that require complete chimney rebuilds.
We can handle emergency chimney repairs year-round, but major masonry work needs temperatures above freezing for materials to cure properly. Emergency waterproofing and temporary fixes can be done even in winter conditions.
For planned repairs, spring through fall gives us the best working conditions. Mortar and sealants need time to cure without freezing, and we can’t apply certain waterproofing materials in wet or freezing weather.
If you have a chimney emergency in winter, we’ll make it safe and schedule permanent repairs for better weather. Don’t wait until spring to call – we can at least assess the situation and prevent further damage to your home.
