Your chimney stops leaking water into your walls. No more smoky rooms or drafts that waste your heating dollars. No more wondering if that crack you noticed is actually dangerous.
You get a chimney that works the way it should—quietly, safely, efficiently. Your heating bills stay predictable because your system isn’t fighting blocked airflow or damaged flue liners. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family isn’t breathing carbon monoxide or at risk from chimney fires.
When buyers look at your home someday, they see documentation of professional maintenance. No surprise repair negotiations that cost you thousands during closing.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor with a truck and some tools. We’re a family legacy brought to life in Suffolk County, specializing in the exterior challenges that Long Island weather creates for your home.
Most homes around Patchogue were built between 1950 and 1990. The original chimney components are showing their age, especially after decades of freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints and deteriorate flashing. We’ve seen it all—from animals nesting in unused chimneys to dangerous creosote buildup that causes house fires.
We understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t. When we inspect your chimney, you get photos showing exactly what we found and clear explanations of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
First, we inspect your chimney from roof to firebox using professional cameras that reveal cracks and blockages you can’t see from the ground. You get photos of what we find—no guessing, no vague explanations about “potential issues.”
Next, we explain what needs fixing immediately and what can be planned for later. Our written estimate breaks down exactly what work we’ll do and why it matters for your home’s safety. No pressure, no surprise additions once work begins.
Finally, we complete the repairs using materials designed for Long Island’s coastal weather. Whether it’s repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, or installing new chimney caps, the work is built to handle our freeze-thaw cycles and storm seasons.

Most homes in this area were built between 1950-1990 and face predictable issues from Long Island’s weather patterns. Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar joints and deteriorate flashing around the roofline.
Animals nest in unused chimneys, creating dangerous blockages that prevent proper venting. Creosote buildup from wood-burning fireplaces becomes a fire hazard if not cleaned regularly. Many homes converted from oil to gas heating without properly sizing the chimney liner.
Water damage from missing or cracked chimney caps leads to expensive interior repairs. Storm damage affects exterior masonry, and coastal weather accelerates normal wear and tear on all chimney components.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, but cleaning frequency depends on usage. Wood-burning fireplaces need annual cleaning due to creosote buildup that creates fire hazards.
Gas fireplaces and oil heating systems need less frequent cleaning but still require annual safety inspections to check for blockages and proper venting. Many Patchogue homeowners schedule service in early fall before heating season starts.
Call immediately if you smell smoke inside when using your fireplace, notice white staining on your chimney exterior, or see rust on your damper. These signs indicate problems that need professional attention before they become dangerous.
Chimney repair requires specialized tools, safety equipment, and knowledge that most homeowners don’t have. Professional inspection during cleaning uses cameras to check inside the flue for cracks and structural problems that could cause carbon monoxide leaks or fires.
Most homeowners can’t safely access their roof or properly evaluate what they’re seeing inside the chimney. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to potential costs of house fires or carbon monoxide poisoning from improperly maintained chimneys.
Licensed contractors understand local building codes and have insurance coverage for the work. DIY repairs often create bigger problems and can void your homeowner’s insurance if something goes wrong.
Most chimney leaks come from worn-out flashing, missing chimney caps, roof damage, or cracked crowns. Flashing around the chimney base deteriorates from weather exposure and needs replacement every 15-20 years.
Chimney caps protect the interior from precipitation, but they crack or go missing during storms. Damaged caps let water pour directly down the flue, causing interior damage and masonry deterioration.
Crown damage occurs when the concrete top of your chimney cracks from freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters these cracks and expands when it freezes, making the problem worse each winter. Professional repair involves removing damaged material and rebuilding with weather-resistant materials designed for Long Island conditions.
Yes, gas appliances still need annual chimney inspections even though they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces. Gas systems can develop venting problems that lead to carbon monoxide buildup inside your home.
Many Patchogue homes converted from oil to gas heating, and sometimes the chimney liner wasn’t properly sized for the new system. Improper sizing affects efficiency and creates safety hazards.
Bird nests and debris can block proper venting, creating dangerous conditions. Professional inspection checks for blockages, proper venting, and structural integrity of the entire chimney system. The inspection ensures your heating system operates safely and efficiently.
