Your chimney stops leaking water into your living room. No more staining on your ceiling or walls near the fireplace. No more worrying about carbon monoxide or structural damage that could cost thousands later.
You get a chimney that works like it should—venting smoke properly, keeping moisture out, and standing strong against Poquott’s coastal weather. Winter storms, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles won’t turn your chimney into an expensive problem.
The peace of mind is real. You know your family’s safe, your home’s protected, and your investment is secure.
We’ve been serving Poquott and Suffolk County families for years. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what coastal weather does to chimneys around here.
We’ve repaired chimneys on Old Post Road, Country Road, and throughout the waterfront communities. We know the unique challenges Poquott homes face, from salt air damage to the freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints.
Every job gets the owner’s personal attention. We show up when we say we will, explain what we’re doing, and stand behind our work with real guarantees.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. That means checking the crown, examining the flashing, looking at masonry condition, and testing the damper. We use cameras when needed to see inside the flue.
You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what needs fixing, and what can wait. No scare tactics or overselling—just honest assessment of your chimney’s condition.
The repair work happens efficiently with quality materials designed for coastal conditions. We match existing brick, use proper mortar mixes, and install flashing that actually keeps water out. Clean-up is part of the job, not an extra.

Chimney leak repair addresses the root cause, whether it’s damaged flashing, cracked crown, or compromised masonry. We fix the source, not just the symptoms.
Chimney repointing restores deteriorated mortar joints using materials that stand up to Poquott’s salt air and temperature changes. Proper repointing prevents water penetration and structural damage.
Chimney crown repair and replacement protects your flue from rain and snow. In our coastal climate, crown damage happens frequently and needs immediate attention to prevent interior damage.
Chimney cap replacement keeps animals out and prevents moisture from deteriorating your flue. We install caps designed for Long Island’s weather conditions with proper screening and drainage.
Chimney repair costs in Poquott typically range from $250 for minor fixes to several thousand for major structural work. Basic repointing runs $350 to $1,200, while brick replacement starts around $900 and can reach $4,000 depending on damage extent.
Suffolk County costs tend to be higher than national averages due to local labor rates and building codes. The good news is that catching problems early through annual inspections prevents minor issues from becoming expensive emergencies.
We provide free estimates and explain exactly what needs fixing versus what can wait, so you can make informed decisions about your chimney investment.
Poquott’s coastal location creates unique challenges for chimneys. Salt air accelerates masonry deterioration, while freeze-thaw cycles cause the most structural damage. Water soaks into brick and mortar, then expands when it freezes, creating cracks and gaps.
Heavy rains and coastal storms drive moisture into vulnerable areas like damaged flashing or deteriorated crown seals. Over time, this leads to interior water damage, structural problems, and safety hazards.
The combination of salt exposure, temperature fluctuations, and moisture makes regular maintenance crucial. Annual inspections catch problems before they become major repairs, saving thousands in the long run.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections regardless of use frequency. In Poquott’s harsh coastal environment, this timeline becomes even more important due to accelerated weathering.
Spring inspections are ideal because they catch winter damage early, before problems worsen during summer storms. Fall inspections ensure your system is ready for heating season and identify any issues that developed during the off-season.
If you notice white staining on exterior brick, rust on the damper, or strong odors from the fireplace, don’t wait for your annual inspection. These signs indicate immediate problems that need professional attention.
Most chimney leaks can be fixed without complete reconstruction. Common leak sources include damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, or missing chimney caps—all repairable issues.
We identify the exact source using systematic inspection methods, then target repairs to stop water infiltration. Proper flashing installation, crown sealing, and repointing typically resolve leak problems permanently.
Complete rebuilds are only necessary when structural damage is extensive, such as severe foundation settling or widespread masonry failure. Our honest assessment tells you exactly what’s needed versus what’s being oversold by other contractors.
Chimney cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue to prevent fires and improve ventilation. It’s maintenance that keeps your system functioning safely. Cleaning should happen annually or when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness.
Chimney repair fixes structural problems like cracked masonry, damaged flashing, deteriorated crowns, or faulty dampers. These issues affect your chimney’s ability to vent properly and keep water out of your home.
Both services are important, but they address different needs. A clean chimney that’s structurally damaged is still dangerous, while a well-built chimney that’s never cleaned becomes a fire hazard.
Yes, we respond to emergency chimney situations that threaten your home’s safety or cause active water damage. This includes sudden leaks during storms, structural damage from fallen trees, or safety hazards like damaged flue liners.
Emergency repairs focus on immediate stabilization and water protection, followed by permanent solutions once conditions allow proper work. We carry materials for common emergency fixes and can secure your chimney quickly.
For non-emergency issues like minor leaks or cosmetic damage, we schedule repairs efficiently but safely. Rushing non-critical work often leads to poor results that cost more to fix later.
