You’re not just getting a quick fix. You’re getting a chimney that works the way it should—safely venting smoke and gases while keeping water out of your home.
No more worrying about strange smells on humid days. No more wondering if that crack is getting worse. When we’re done, your chimney does its job without you having to think about it.
That’s what proper chimney repair looks like. Your fireplace works when you want it to, your home stays dry, and you can actually relax instead of stressing about what might go wrong next.
SkyLuxe Construction has been handling exterior projects across Suffolk County for decades. We’re not the biggest name around, but we’re the one homeowners call when they want it done right the first time.
We know Peconic’s weather patterns—the freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar, the coastal humidity that accelerates deterioration, and the nor’easters that test every repair we make. That local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with something as critical as your chimney.
Our team combines old-school craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques. We’re licensed, insured, and we stand behind every job with a comprehensive warranty because we know the work will hold up.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system—not just the obvious problem areas. We check the crown, flashing, mortar joints, liner, and damper to understand what’s really going on.
Then we explain what we found and what needs to happen. No scare tactics, no inflated estimates. Just honest assessment of what’s broken and how we’ll fix it.
The actual repair work depends on your specific issues, but it might involve repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, installing a new chimney cap, or relining the flue. We use high-quality materials designed to handle Suffolk County’s weather extremes.
When we’re finished, we clean up completely and walk you through what we did. You’ll know your chimney is safe to use and built to last.

Our chimney repair services cover everything from minor mortar touch-ups to complete rebuilds. We handle chimney leak repair, crown restoration, flashing replacement, cap installation, and chimney repointing.
In Peconic, we see a lot of damage from the coastal environment. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, while freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry. Many chimneys here also deal with issues from decades of deferred maintenance—problems that compound over time until they become serious safety hazards.
We’re equipped to handle it all. Whether you need a simple chimney cap replacement or extensive masonry restoration, we have the experience and materials to get your chimney working properly again. Every repair is designed to withstand the specific challenges of Long Island’s climate.
Look for white staining on the outside of your chimney—that’s efflorescence, which indicates water penetration. Inside, watch for rust on the damper or firebox, water stains on walls near the fireplace, or musty odors.
You might also notice loose or cracked mortar joints, damaged chimney caps, or flashing that’s pulling away from the roofline. If your fireplace isn’t drawing properly or you’re getting smoke in the room, that’s another clear sign something’s wrong.
Don’t wait for these problems to get worse. What starts as minor water infiltration can quickly become structural damage that costs thousands to repair.
Most chimney leaks come from damaged flashing—the metal seal between your chimney and roof. Suffolk County’s weather is particularly hard on flashing because of the freeze-thaw cycles and coastal storms.
Cracked chimney crowns are another common culprit. The crown is the concrete cap at the top of your chimney, and when it cracks, water gets into the masonry and causes extensive damage from the inside out.
Missing or damaged chimney caps also let water pour directly down the flue. We see this a lot after storms when caps get blown off and homeowners don’t realize it until they notice water damage inside the house.
When done properly with quality materials, most chimney repairs should last 15-20 years or more. The key is using the right materials for our climate and addressing all the underlying issues, not just the visible symptoms.
For example, if we’re repointing mortar joints, we use mortar that matches the original in strength and porosity. Using mortar that’s too hard can actually cause more damage because it doesn’t allow the masonry to expand and contract naturally.
We also make sure to address water infiltration issues completely. There’s no point in rebuilding a chimney crown if the flashing is still leaking—you’ll just end up with the same problems in a few years.
Absolutely not. A damaged chimney can allow dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to enter your home instead of venting safely outside. Even small cracks in the liner or deteriorated mortar joints can create serious health hazards.
Damaged chimneys also increase fire risk. If the flue isn’t properly sealed, sparks and heat can reach combustible materials in your walls or roof structure. We’ve seen house fires start this way.
Water damage is another concern. A leaking chimney can cause thousands of dollars in damage to walls, ceilings, and floors. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repairs become.
We provide a comprehensive warranty on all our chimney repair work. The exact terms depend on the specific repairs, but we typically warrant materials and workmanship for several years.
If something fails due to our workmanship or a defective material, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge. We’re confident in our work because we use quality materials and proven techniques that are designed for Long Island’s climate.
We also provide detailed documentation of what we did, including photos of the work and recommendations for ongoing maintenance. This helps you understand what to watch for and when to schedule routine inspections.
Repair costs vary widely depending on what’s wrong and how extensive the damage is. Minor repointing might cost a few hundred dollars, while a complete chimney rebuild can run several thousand.
The key is getting an honest assessment of what actually needs to be done. We provide detailed written estimates that break down the work and costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most homeowners find that addressing problems early saves money in the long run. A $500 flashing repair now can prevent thousands in water damage later. We’ll always give you the straight story about what’s urgent and what can wait.
