When your chimney works right, you don’t think about it. No smoke backing up into your living room. No worrying about carbon monoxide. No surprise repair bills because someone caught the problem early.
That’s what proper chimney maintenance gets you. Your fireplace draws perfectly. Your family breathes clean air. Your heating bills stay reasonable because everything’s running efficiently.
You get to enjoy those cozy winter nights without wondering if your chimney is about to become a safety hazard or an expensive emergency.
We’ve been keeping Long Island chimneys safe since 2001. We’re the local company your East Patchogue neighbors call when they need chimney work done right the first time.
We’re family-owned, fully licensed, and insured. More importantly, we understand what Long Island winters demand from your heating system.
Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a routine cleaning or a complete chimney rebuild. Because when it comes to your family’s safety, there’s no such thing as a small job.
First, we inspect everything. Not just a quick look, but a thorough examination of your chimney from top to bottom. We check the flue, the liner, the cap, the crown, and all the masonry work.
Then we clean what needs cleaning and repair what needs fixing. If your chimney needs a new liner, we install UL-tested stainless steel that’s built to handle temperatures over 2100°F.
Finally, we walk you through what we found and what we did. No surprises, no upselling, just straight talk about your chimney’s condition and what to expect going forward.

Suffolk County homes face unique challenges with salt air, freezing temperatures, and heavy snow loads. We know how these conditions affect chimneys and what it takes to keep them functioning properly year after year.
Most East Patchogue homeowners need annual chimney cleaning, especially if you use your fireplace regularly during our cold winters. If you burn wood more than a few times per week, you might need cleaning twice a year.
The frequency really depends on how much you use your fireplace and what you burn. Green or resinous woods create more creosote buildup, which means more frequent cleaning. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but still require annual inspection and maintenance.
The key is having a professional assess your specific situation. We can tell you exactly how often your chimney needs attention based on your usage patterns and the condition of your system.
White staining on your chimney’s exterior masonry is a red flag – that’s efflorescence, and it means water is getting where it shouldn’t. Rust on your damper or firebox is another warning sign of moisture problems.
If you smell odors coming from your fireplace when it’s not in use, or if you see animals or birds around your chimney, you likely have structural issues that need immediate attention. Cracked or crumbling mortar joints also require prompt repair.
Any smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney is a serious safety issue. Don’t use your fireplace until a professional can diagnose and fix the problem. These issues only get worse and more expensive if you wait.
Basic chimney cleaning in East Patchogue typically runs between $150 and $300, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. If we find repairs needed during the cleaning, those costs are separate and depend on what’s required.
Simple repairs like replacing a chimney cap might add $150-$350 to your bill. More extensive work like relining or masonry repair can cost more, but we always explain what’s needed and why before doing any additional work.
The real value is in preventing expensive emergency repairs. Annual cleaning and maintenance typically saves homeowners hundreds or thousands of dollars compared to letting problems develop into major issues.
Yes, gas fireplaces still need annual inspection and cleaning, even though they produce less creosote than wood-burning systems. Gas appliances can have issues with their venting systems, and animals can still nest in unused chimneys.
Gas fireplaces also have components like dampers and flue liners that need regular inspection. Carbon monoxide leaks are actually more dangerous with gas systems because you can’t see or smell the problem developing.
We check the entire system – the gas connections, the venting, the chimney structure, and all safety components. It’s not just about cleaning; it’s about making sure everything works safely and efficiently.
Skipping chimney maintenance is like playing Russian roulette with your family’s safety. Creosote buildup becomes a fire hazard that can ignite and spread to your home. Carbon monoxide poisoning is another real risk when chimneys don’t draft properly.
Water damage from deteriorating chimney crowns and flashing can cost thousands to repair. What starts as a $200 cleaning can become a $5,000 chimney rebuild if you let problems go too long.
Insurance companies are also getting stricter about covering chimney-related damage if you can’t show regular maintenance records. The small cost of annual maintenance is nothing compared to the potential consequences of neglect.
