Your chimney stops leaking. Your home stays dry. Your family stays safe.
That’s what happens when coastal salt air and freeze-thaw cycles meet proper chimney repair. Most Montauk homeowners discover their chimney problems too late—after water stains appear on ceilings or rust starts eating away at metal components. The good news? You caught it in time.
Our chimney repairs eliminate the root cause of your problems, not just the symptoms. Whether it’s crumbling mortar from salt air exposure, damaged flashing from nor’easters, or crown cracks from winter freezes, we fix it permanently. You get a chimney that works safely and efficiently, protecting your home and your investment for years to come.
SkyLuxe Construction has been protecting Suffolk County homes from the unique challenges of coastal living. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand what salt air, heavy rains, and harsh winters do to chimneys in Montauk.
Our family-owned business specializes in exterior home improvements, with chimney repair being one of our core services. We’ve seen how quickly coastal conditions can deteriorate mortar joints and compromise chimney integrity. That’s why we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for Long Island’s demanding climate.
When you work with us, you’re working with licensed professionals who live and work in Suffolk County. We know which problems are common in Montauk, which solutions actually last, and how to prevent the same issues from happening again.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system—inside and out. We’re looking for the real source of your problems, not just the obvious damage you can see. Most chimney issues in Montauk start small and spread, so we check everything from the crown to the flashing to the interior liner.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and exactly how we’ll fix it. No surprises, no upselling, no technical jargon you don’t need. You’ll understand the problem and the solution before any work begins.
Then we fix it right. We use premium materials designed for coastal conditions and proven techniques that address Montauk’s specific challenges. Whether it’s repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, or rebuilding a compromised crown, the repair is built to last. We clean up completely when we’re done and test everything to make sure it’s working properly.

Our chimney repair service covers everything that goes wrong with chimneys in Montauk’s coastal environment. We handle masonry repairs when salt air erodes mortar joints. We fix leaks caused by damaged flashing or cracked crowns. We replace chimney caps that have corroded from humidity and salty breezes.
The service includes thorough inspection, complete repair of all identified issues, and preventive measures to protect against future damage. We address structural problems like spalling bricks, efflorescence from moisture penetration, and freeze-thaw damage that’s common after harsh Suffolk County winters.
What makes our service different is our understanding of local conditions. We know that standard repair methods don’t always work in coastal environments. That’s why we use weatherproof additives in our mortar mixes and choose materials specifically rated for high-humidity, salt-air conditions. Your repair isn’t just fixed—it’s built to handle whatever Montauk’s weather throws at it.
Chimney repair costs in Montauk typically range from $160 for minor fixes to $15,000 for extensive rebuilds, with most repairs averaging around $455. The wide range depends on what needs fixing and how much damage the coastal environment has caused.
Simple repairs like replacing a chimney cap or sealing small cracks cost less. More complex work like repointing mortar joints throughout the chimney, replacing flashing, or rebuilding a damaged crown costs more. The key is catching problems early—what starts as a $200 seal repair can become a $2,000 structural fix if you wait.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what needs to be done and what it costs. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure to do more work than necessary.
The most common chimney problems in Montauk are directly related to our coastal location. Salt air accelerates mortar deterioration, causing crumbling and flaking that weakens the entire structure. Freeze-thaw cycles make it worse—water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger cracks.
We also see a lot of flashing failures from heavy rains and nor’easters. Metal components like dampers and fireboxes rust faster here because of the humidity and salt exposure. Efflorescence—those white chalky deposits on bricks—is another telltale sign that moisture is penetrating the masonry.
The good news is that all of these problems are fixable when caught early. Regular inspections help identify issues before they become expensive repairs, which is especially important in Montauk’s challenging climate.
In Montauk, you should have your chimney inspected at least once a year, preferably in late summer or early fall before you start using your fireplace regularly. The coastal environment here is harder on chimneys than inland locations, so annual inspections are essential.
If you use your fireplace frequently or burn wood regularly, you might need more frequent inspections. The combination of creosote buildup and moisture from our humid climate can create problems faster than in drier areas.
Spring inspections are also smart after harsh winters. That’s when we can assess any freeze-thaw damage and address it before the next heating season. Early detection and repair cost much less than waiting until problems become emergencies.
Yes, we specialize in repairing chimneys damaged by Montauk’s coastal conditions. Salt air damage is actually one of our most common repair types. We know how to properly address mortar deterioration, brick spalling, and metal corrosion caused by salt exposure.
The key is using the right materials and techniques for coastal environments. We use weatherproof additives in our mortar mixes and choose materials specifically rated for high-humidity, salt-air conditions. Standard repair methods often fail in coastal areas, but our approach is designed for Long Island’s challenging climate.
We also focus on prevention during repairs. That means proper waterproofing, improved drainage, and protective treatments that help your chimney resist future salt air damage. The goal isn’t just to fix current problems—it’s to prevent them from coming back.
Yes, we provide emergency chimney repair services in Montauk when safety is at risk. Chimney emergencies include active leaks during storms, structural damage that could collapse, or any situation where your chimney poses an immediate danger to your home or family.
We understand that chimney problems don’t wait for convenient times. Nor’easters, ice storms, and severe weather can cause sudden damage that needs immediate attention. When you have an emergency, we respond quickly to assess the situation and make temporary repairs to prevent further damage.
For true emergencies, we’re available outside normal business hours. We’ll stabilize the immediate problem and then schedule follow-up work to complete permanent repairs. Your safety and your home’s protection are our top priorities.
Our chimney repairs come with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair, but we stand behind everything we do. If something fails because of our work or the materials we used, we’ll fix it at no cost to you.
We’re particularly confident in our coastal climate repairs because we use materials and methods specifically chosen for Montauk’s challenging conditions. Our experience with salt air damage and freeze-thaw cycles means we know what works and what doesn’t.
