Your chimney works harder in Orient Point than most places. The salt air, coastal winds, and those 4-5 months of fireplace season put real demands on your system.
When your chimney’s working right, you get clean burns, proper ventilation, and peace of mind every time you light a fire. No smoke backing up into your living room. No worrying about creosote buildup or carbon monoxide risks.
That’s what proper chimney maintenance delivers – a system that handles Orient Point’s coastal climate while keeping your family safe and your home protected.
We’ve been the go-to chimney company for Orient Point homeowners since 2001. We’re a family-owned, licensed, and insured business that understands what coastal living does to chimneys.
About 75% of our work happens right here in the Hamptons area, including Orient and the North Fork. We know how the salt air affects masonry, how coastal storms impact chimney crowns, and what it takes to keep systems running safely through those damp Long Island winters.
When you call us, you’re getting technicians who live and work in your community – not some outfit from three towns over trying to figure out local conditions on the fly.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. That means checking the flue, crown, cap, liner, and masonry – not just whatever problem brought us out initially.
Next, we walk you through exactly what we found and what needs attention. No surprises, no upselling. If it’s a simple cleaning that solves the issue, that’s what we recommend. If you need liner work or masonry repairs, we explain why and show you the problem areas.
Then we get to work using the right materials for coastal conditions. We clean up completely when we’re done and make sure you understand how to maintain your system going forward. Most of our customers never need to call anyone else for chimney work again.

Living in Orient Point means your chimney faces unique challenges. The humid continental climate, salt air, and coastal storms create conditions that accelerate wear on masonry and metal components.
Our service includes everything your coastal chimney needs: professional cleaning to remove creosote and debris, thorough inspections to catch problems early, and repairs using materials that stand up to Long Island weather. We handle chimney cap and crown work, liner installation and repair, masonry tuckpointing, and flashing repairs.
We also provide 24/7 emergency service because chimney problems don’t wait for convenient times. Whether it’s storm damage, a blocked flue, or safety concerns, we’re available when you need us most.
Most Orient Point homeowners should have their chimney professionally cleaned once a year, typically before the heating season starts. However, if you use your fireplace heavily during those 4-5 months of cold weather, you might need cleaning twice a year.
The coastal environment here accelerates creosote buildup because of humidity, and salt air can affect the efficiency of your chimney draw. Annual cleaning removes dangerous creosote deposits, clears any debris that might have accumulated, and gives us a chance to spot potential problems before they become expensive repairs.
We recommend scheduling your cleaning in late summer or early fall, so your system is ready when you need it most.
Salt air is tough on chimney systems, especially metal components like caps, dampers, and flashing. We see accelerated corrosion on these parts compared to inland areas. The humid coastal climate also promotes faster deterioration of mortar joints and masonry.
Water intrusion is another big issue here. Coastal storms can drive rain horizontally into chimney openings, and the freeze-thaw cycles during winter can crack crowns and mortar. Many Orient Point chimneys also develop white staining (efflorescence) as salt deposits work their way through the masonry.
The good news is that these problems are predictable and preventable with the right maintenance schedule and materials designed for coastal conditions.
Basic chimney maintenance like cleaning typically runs $150-$400, depending on the condition and accessibility of your system. Minor repairs such as resealing or small mortar work usually cost $200-$800.
More significant repairs vary widely based on what’s needed. Crown repairs might run $500-$2,000, liner work can be $2,000-$5,000, and major masonry restoration could reach $3,000-$8,000 for extensive damage. The key is catching problems early through regular inspections.
We always provide detailed estimates before starting any work, and we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and why. Many expensive repairs can be avoided with proper preventive maintenance.
We don’t recommend using your fireplace without a recent professional inspection, especially in coastal areas like Orient Point where conditions accelerate wear and damage. An uninspected chimney could have blocked flues, damaged liners, or structural issues that create serious safety risks.
Carbon monoxide poisoning, house fires, and smoke damage are real dangers when chimney systems aren’t properly maintained. Even if your fireplace seemed to work fine last season, a summer’s worth of humidity, salt air exposure, and potential storm damage could have created new problems.
The small cost of an annual inspection is nothing compared to the potential consequences of using a compromised system. We can usually complete an inspection and cleaning in the same visit.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency chimney services throughout Orient Point and the surrounding area. Chimney emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and coastal storms can create urgent situations that need immediate attention.
Common emergencies include storm damage to caps or crowns, animals trapped in flues, sudden blockages, or suspected carbon monoxide issues. We also handle situations where you smell gas or notice smoke entering your home instead of going up the chimney.
Our emergency response focuses on making your system safe first, then determining what permanent repairs are needed. We carry common repair materials and can often resolve issues on the same visit.
