Your chimney isn’t just about cozy fires. It’s about keeping dangerous gases out of your home and protecting your family from carbon monoxide poisoning. When your chimney develops cracks, leaks, or structural issues, every day you wait puts your safety at risk.
We fix chimneys the right way the first time. No Band-Aid solutions that fail next winter. Our repairs eliminate the hazards that keep you up at night—cracked liners, damaged flashing, deteriorating crowns, and faulty dampers that let deadly gases seep into your living space.
You get a chimney that works like it should. Safe ventilation, proper airflow, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family is protected. Plus, a properly repaired chimney actually saves you money on heating costs by stopping warm air from escaping through cracks and gaps.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family legacy that’s been perfecting exterior home repairs in Suffolk County for decades. When you call us, you’re not getting a sales pitch—you’re getting honest advice from people who understand exactly what West Hills homes face.
We know how brutal Suffolk County winters hit chimneys. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints. The salty ocean air that corrodes flashing. The storms that damage crowns and caps. We’ve seen it all, and more importantly, we know how to fix it permanently.
Our team combines old-school craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques. Every repair comes with personal oversight because our family name is on every job. That’s why customers throughout West Hills trust us with their most important investment—their home’s safety.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. Not just a quick look—a detailed examination of the liner, crown, flashing, damper, and masonry. We identify every issue, from obvious damage to hidden problems that could become dangerous later.
Next, we explain exactly what we found and what needs to be fixed. No confusing technical jargon. We show you the problems, explain why they happened, and outline the repair options. You get a clear, written estimate with no surprises.
Then we get to work. Our crew arrives on time with the right materials and equipment. We protect your property, complete the repairs efficiently, and clean up thoroughly. Most chimney repairs are finished in a day or two, depending on the scope of work. You get regular updates throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when we’ll be done.

We handle every type of chimney repair West Hills homes need. Masonry repointing when mortar joints crack and crumble. Crown repairs and replacements to stop water intrusion. Flashing repairs that actually seal properly and don’t leak next spring. Liner repairs and installations using code-compliant stainless steel materials.
Cap and damper replacements get done right the first time with quality components that last. We also handle firebox restoration, smoke chamber repairs, and complete chimney rebuilds when structural damage is too extensive for patches.
West Hills homes built in different eras have unique challenges. Older homes often have clay tile liners that crack over time. Newer construction sometimes has installation issues that create long-term problems. We’ve worked on every type of chimney construction in the area, so we know exactly what your specific home needs. Our repairs are designed to handle Suffolk County’s harsh weather conditions and last for decades, not just until the next storm hits.
Look for white staining on the outside bricks—that’s efflorescence, which means water is getting into your masonry. Check for rust on the damper or firebox, loose or missing mortar between bricks, and cracks in the chimney crown.
Inside your home, watch for water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney, especially after heavy rain. If you smell musty odors or notice animals getting in, your cap or screen probably needs attention. Most importantly, if you see any cracks in the flue liner during a flashlight inspection, stop using your fireplace immediately and call us—that’s a serious safety hazard.
Chimney repair fixes specific problems like repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, or installing a new liner. Most issues can be repaired if caught early enough. Rebuilding becomes necessary when the structural integrity is compromised—usually from years of neglect or severe weather damage.
Signs you might need a rebuild include a leaning chimney, extensive spalling (bricks flaking apart), or major cracks that run through multiple courses of brick. We always try to repair first because it’s more cost-effective, but sometimes a partial or complete rebuild is the only safe option. During our inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or rebuild makes more sense for your situation.
Quality chimney repairs should last 15-25 years or more when done correctly with proper materials. The key is using the right techniques for Suffolk County’s climate conditions. We use high-grade mortar designed for freeze-thaw cycles, stainless steel liners with lifetime warranties, and flashing systems that actually seal against our coastal weather.
Cheap repairs fail quickly because contractors cut corners on materials or don’t address underlying causes. For example, just patching cracks without fixing drainage issues means the same problems will return within a few years. Our repairs are designed to handle the specific challenges West Hills homes face, which is why our customers don’t need to call us back every few seasons.
No, you should never use your fireplace during active chimney repairs. We typically seal off the fireplace opening to prevent debris from falling into your home and to maintain proper working conditions. Most repairs are completed within 1-3 days, so the inconvenience is minimal.
If we’re doing extensive work that takes longer, we’ll discuss temporary heating alternatives if needed. Safety is our top priority—both for our crew and your family. Once repairs are complete, we’ll test the system thoroughly before giving you the green light to use your fireplace again. We also provide maintenance tips to help you get the most life out of your newly repaired chimney.
Yes, we handle emergency chimney situations that pose immediate safety risks. This includes chimney fires, major structural damage from storms, or situations where carbon monoxide might be entering your home. We prioritize these calls and can often respond the same day.
However, most “emergency” calls we receive are actually problems that developed over time but weren’t noticed until they became severe. Regular annual inspections catch issues before they become emergencies. If you’re experiencing a true emergency—like active fire or gas leaks—call 911 first, then call us. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues, we’ll schedule you as quickly as possible and provide guidance on staying safe until we arrive.
We’re not a general contractor that does chimneys on the side. Exterior home systems—roofing, siding, chimneys, and gutters—are our specialty. We understand how these systems work together and how Suffolk County’s weather affects each component. Our family has been perfecting these repairs for decades.
We use premium materials designed for coastal conditions, not generic supplies that work fine in other climates but fail here. Every repair includes personal oversight from our family, not just crew supervision. We also provide detailed documentation of what we found and what we fixed, so you have records for insurance or future maintenance. Most importantly, we stand behind our work with real warranties and the kind of customer service that keeps families calling us for generations.
