You get a chimney that drafts properly, burns cleanly, and protects your family from dangerous carbon monoxide. No more smoke backing into your living room during those cold East Quogue nights.
Your heating bills drop because your fireplace or heating system works the way it should. Clean chimneys mean better airflow, which means less wasted energy and more money in your pocket.
Water damage stops before it starts. With proper flashing, caps, and crowns, you won’t deal with leaks that turn into expensive mold problems or structural damage down the road.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving East Quogue and Suffolk County since 2001. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors trust when their chimneys need real work, not quick fixes.
We know East Quogue’s weather. The harsh winters, humid summers, and constant freeze-thaw cycles that destroy chimneys faster than most places. That’s why we’ve developed specific techniques and use materials that actually hold up to what Long Island throws at them.
Our team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We show up when we say we will, do the work right, and back it up with guarantees that mean something.
First, we inspect everything – not just what’s obviously broken. We check the flue liner, damper, crown, cap, flashing, and masonry. Most chimney problems start small and get expensive when they’re ignored.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. No surprises, no upselling. You get a clear breakdown of the work, materials, and timeline before we start anything.
Then we fix it right. Whether it’s repointing mortar joints, installing new liners, or rebuilding damaged crowns, we use quality materials and proven techniques. The job gets done once, correctly, so you don’t have to deal with the same problem again next year.

We handle everything your chimney needs. Cleaning and inspection services that catch problems before they become disasters. Liner installation and repair for proper venting and safety. Masonry work including repointing, crown repair, and complete rebuilds when necessary.
Cap and damper installation keeps animals out and controls airflow. Flashing repair stops water from getting where it doesn’t belong. Emergency services for when things go wrong at the worst possible time.
East Quogue’s coastal location means your chimney deals with salt air, high humidity, and temperature swings that inland homes don’t face. We account for these local conditions in every job we do, using materials and methods that work specifically for Suffolk County’s environment.
Every year, regardless of how much you use your fireplace. East Quogue’s harsh winters and humid summers create conditions that accelerate chimney deterioration – freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry, salt air corrodes metal components, and humidity promotes rust.
Annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive disasters. A loose brick today becomes a collapsed chimney crown next winter. A small crack in your liner becomes carbon monoxide in your living room.
We inspect the entire system – flue, damper, crown, cap, flashing, and masonry. Most homeowners are surprised by what we find during routine inspections. Problems that would cost hundreds to fix now often cost thousands if left until next year.
White staining on the outside of your chimney means water is getting in and dissolving the mortar. This is called efflorescence, and it’s a clear sign your chimney is deteriorating from the inside out.
Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney indicates blockage or damper problems. This is dangerous – you’re breathing what should be going outside. Animals, debris, or damaged components can cause this.
Rust on the damper or firebox, cracked chimney crown, or loose/missing mortar joints all need immediate attention. In East Quogue’s climate, these problems get worse fast. What starts as a minor issue becomes a major safety hazard within months.
Basic chimney cleaning and inspection runs $200-400. Minor repairs like repointing mortar joints or replacing a chimney cap typically cost $300-800. Major work like liner replacement or crown rebuilding ranges from $1,500-4,000.
The real cost is waiting too long. A $300 repair today becomes a $3,000 rebuild tomorrow. East Quogue’s weather doesn’t give you the luxury of putting off chimney maintenance.
We provide free inspections and written estimates so you know exactly what you’re dealing with. No surprises, no hidden costs. We also beat any written quote from licensed competitors because we want your business and we’re confident in our pricing.
Yes, we offer 24/7/365 emergency service for East Quogue residents. Chimney emergencies don’t wait for convenient times – they happen during storms, holidays, and the coldest nights of the year.
Common emergencies include chimney fires, sudden blockages, storm damage, and carbon monoxide issues. These situations require immediate professional attention to protect your family and property.
Our emergency technicians carry the tools and materials needed for temporary repairs to make your home safe. We then schedule permanent repairs as quickly as possible. Emergency service costs more than regular appointments, but it’s there when you need it most.
Complete removal of creosote, soot, and debris from the entire flue system using professional brushes and vacuums. We clean from the top down, protecting your home with drop cloths and using HEPA filtration to contain dust and particles.
Damper inspection and cleaning to ensure proper operation. Smoke chamber and firebox cleaning to remove buildup that restricts airflow. Chimney cap and screen cleaning to prevent animal entry and improve ventilation.
Visual inspection of accessible chimney components including liner condition, masonry integrity, and flashing. We document what we find and explain any issues that need attention. You get a clean chimney and a clear picture of its overall condition.
Absolutely. Liner installation is one of our most common services in East Quogue. Many older homes have deteriorated clay liners or no liner at all, which is dangerous and inefficient.
We install stainless steel liners sized specifically for your heating appliance and chimney dimensions. The new liner improves draft, increases safety, and often resolves smoking problems. Installation typically takes one day for most residential chimneys.
Proper liner installation requires permits and inspections in Suffolk County. We handle all paperwork and ensure the work meets current building codes. The investment pays for itself through improved efficiency and safety, plus it’s often required for homeowner’s insurance coverage.
