Your chimney works like it should—no more worrying about leaks during Long Island storms or wondering if that crack will turn into something worse. You get peace of mind knowing your family’s safe from carbon monoxide and fire hazards.
When we’re done, your heating system runs more efficiently. Your energy bills stay reasonable. And your property value stays protected, which matters when you’re talking about Wainscott real estate.
No more emergency calls in the middle of winter because something finally gave out. Just a solid, well-maintained chimney that does its job year after year.
We’ve been handling exterior home improvements across Suffolk County for decades. That means we understand how Wainscott’s coastal weather hits your chimney differently than homes further inland.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation. Our family has built a reputation here by showing up when we say we will, doing what we promise, and standing behind our work. You can verify our license, check our insurance, and talk to neighbors who’ve used us.
When you’re dealing with a multi-million dollar property, you want contractors who take that responsibility seriously. We do.
We start with a thorough inspection—not just a quick look, but checking your chimney crown, flashing, mortar joints, and flue from top to bottom. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what needs attention.
Our estimate breaks down exactly what work needs doing and why. No vague “comprehensive packages” or surprise add-ons halfway through the job.
Once you approve the work, we handle everything—permits if needed, materials, cleanup. We keep you updated on progress and let you know if we discover anything unexpected. Most repairs are completed within a day or two, depending on the scope.

We handle everything from simple mortar repointing to complete chimney rebuilds. Crown repairs, flashing replacement, masonry restoration, chimney cap installation—whatever your chimney needs.
Living near the ocean means your chimney faces salt air, moisture, and wind that can accelerate wear. We use materials and techniques that stand up to Suffolk County’s coastal conditions. That means longer-lasting repairs and fewer callbacks.
Our work meets local building codes and safety standards. We pull permits when required and make sure everything passes inspection. You’re not just getting a quick fix—you’re getting a properly restored chimney that protects your home.
Repair costs vary significantly based on what needs fixing. Minor issues like sealing small cracks or replacing a chimney cap typically run a few hundred dollars. More extensive work like crown rebuilding, major masonry repairs, or flashing replacement can range from $800 to several thousand.
The key is catching problems early. A small crack that costs $200 to seal today might require a $2,000 crown rebuild if water gets in and does damage over the winter. That’s why we recommend annual inspections, especially in coastal areas like Wainscott where salt air accelerates deterioration.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why. No surprises, no pressure tactics—just honest pricing for quality work.
Water damage tops the list. Between Long Island’s storms and the salt air near the coast, moisture finds its way into even small cracks and causes serious problems. Crown damage, deteriorated mortar joints, and failed flashing are what we see most often.
Creosote buildup is another big issue, especially if your chimney hasn’t been cleaned regularly. This creates fire hazards and restricts proper ventilation. We also see a lot of masonry damage—spalling bricks, cracked mortar, and structural issues from freeze-thaw cycles.
The good news is most of these problems are preventable with regular maintenance. Annual cleaning and inspection catch issues while they’re still small and affordable to fix.
At minimum, once a year—preferably before heating season starts. But in coastal areas like Wainscott, twice yearly inspections make sense if you use your fireplace regularly or have an older chimney.
Salt air, moisture, and wind cause faster deterioration here than inland areas. What might take years to develop elsewhere can happen in months near the ocean. Regular inspections let us catch problems like loose mortar, damaged flashing, or crown cracks before they turn into expensive repairs.
If you notice any signs between inspections—water stains, white residue on the exterior, damaged mortar, or animals getting in—call us right away. Waiting until your next scheduled inspection could mean the difference between a simple repair and a major reconstruction.
Yes, though some repairs work better in certain conditions. Emergency repairs—stopping active leaks, securing loose components, or addressing safety hazards—we handle year-round regardless of weather.
For major masonry work, we prefer temperatures above freezing when possible. Mortar needs proper curing conditions, and extreme cold can affect the quality of the repair. But we can often work around weather constraints by using specialized materials and techniques.
If you have an emergency situation—water coming in, structural damage, or safety concerns—don’t wait for perfect weather. We’ll stabilize the immediate problem and schedule any follow-up work for better conditions. The key is preventing further damage to your home.
Absolutely. Chimney problems often involve both interior and exterior components, so we’re equipped to handle the complete system. Interior work includes firebox repair, damper replacement, flue liner installation, and smoke chamber restoration.
Exterior repairs cover everything from repointing mortar joints and crown rebuilding to flashing replacement and structural masonry work. We also handle chimney cap installation, spark arrestor replacement, and waterproofing treatments.
Most chimney issues are interconnected—a leaky crown can damage interior components, or a damaged flue liner can create exterior problems. That’s why it makes sense to work with contractors who understand the entire system and can address all aspects of the repair properly.
We’re local Suffolk County contractors with decades of experience in coastal conditions. We understand how salt air, moisture, and Long Island weather affect chimneys differently than inland areas. That knowledge shows in our material choices and repair techniques.
You’re not just hiring workers—you’re hiring a family business that’s built its reputation here. We show up when scheduled, do what we promise, and stand behind our work. Our owner personally oversees projects, so you get consistent quality and accountability.
We also handle the complete range of exterior home improvements—roofing, siding, gutters, and chimneys. That means we understand how all these systems work together and can spot potential issues other contractors might miss. When you need reliable work on a valuable property, experience and local knowledge matter.
