We’ve been protecting East Setauket homes for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Suffolk County, which means you’re covered and we’re accountable.
Long Island’s coastal weather is tough on chimneys. Salt air, heavy rains, and freeze-thaw cycles create unique challenges that generic contractors don’t understand. We do.
Our technicians know exactly what East Setauket chimneys face and how to keep them working safely through every season.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your entire chimney system, from the firebox to the crown. Our certified technicians examine every component you can’t see—the flue liner, damper, smoke chamber, and structural elements.
Next, we document any issues with photos and explain exactly what needs attention. No surprises, no upselling, just honest assessment of your chimney’s condition.
If repairs are needed, we handle everything from minor mortar work to complete liner replacement. You get a detailed timeline and clear communication throughout the process, so you know exactly what’s happening and when.

Our chimney services cover every aspect of maintenance and repair. Annual inspections catch problems early, before they become expensive emergencies. Professional cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes chimney fires.
We handle chimney cap and crown repairs that are essential in East Setauket’s weather. Our stainless steel liner installations meet all local building codes and provide decades of reliable service.
Suffolk County’s coastal conditions require specialized knowledge. We understand how salt air affects masonry, why proper waterproofing matters, and how to prevent the moisture problems that plague Long Island chimneys. When we finish a job, your chimney is built to handle whatever East Setauket’s climate throws at it.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and Long Island’s coastal conditions make this especially important. Salt air, moisture, and temperature fluctuations can cause rapid deterioration that isn’t visible from the ground.
Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, animals can build nests, weather can cause structural damage, and components can fail. An annual inspection catches these issues while they’re still minor and affordable to fix.
We typically recommend scheduling your inspection in late spring or early summer. This gives you plenty of time to complete any necessary repairs before the heating season, and our schedule is more flexible than during the busy fall months.
East Setauket’s location near the coast creates specific challenges. Crown damage from freeze-thaw cycles is extremely common, as is mortar deterioration from salt air exposure. We also see frequent issues with chimney caps corroding or becoming loose from coastal winds.
Creosote buildup happens faster in humid conditions, making regular cleaning even more critical. Water infiltration is another major concern—Long Island gets significant precipitation, and even small leaks can cause extensive damage to masonry and metal components.
The good news is that all of these problems are preventable with proper maintenance. Regular inspections and timely repairs keep small issues from becoming major structural problems.
Chimney repair costs in East Setauket typically run higher than national averages due to Long Island’s labor costs and building codes. Basic mortar repointing ranges from $350 to $1,200, while brick replacement can cost $900 to $4,000 depending on the extent of damage.
Minor repairs like chimney cap replacement or small crown fixes usually cost a few hundred dollars. Major structural work, such as liner replacement or significant masonry restoration, can range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more.
The key is catching problems early through regular inspections. A $300 crown seal today prevents a $3,000 crown replacement next year. We always provide detailed estimates before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect.
Spring and early summer are ideal for chimney maintenance in East Setauket. The weather is favorable for repairs, our schedule is more flexible, and you have plenty of time to complete any necessary work before the heating season begins.
Summer maintenance also allows us to remove post-winter creosote buildup before it hardens and becomes more difficult to clean. This prevents odors when you run your air conditioning and ensures your system is ready when you need it.
Avoid waiting until fall when everyone remembers their chimney needs attention. Emergency repairs during heating season are more expensive and disruptive, and you may have to wait longer for service during our busy period.
Yes, gas fireplaces absolutely need annual inspection and regular maintenance, despite burning cleaner than wood. Gas appliances can develop carbon monoxide leaks, and the venting system can become blocked by debris, animal nests, or structural issues.
East Setauket’s coastal environment is particularly hard on gas fireplace components. Salt air can corrode venting materials, and moisture can cause rust or blockages that prevent proper ventilation. These problems aren’t visible during normal use but can be deadly.
We inspect the entire venting system, check for proper clearances, and ensure all safety controls are functioning correctly. Gas fireplace maintenance is just as important as wood-burning systems—the risks are different, but they’re still serious.
We’ve been serving East Setauket families for over 20 years, so we understand exactly what Long Island’s coastal climate does to chimney systems. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Suffolk County, which protects both you and us.
Unlike companies that only do chimneys or only do roofing, we handle both. This means we understand how your entire roof system works together and can spot problems that single-trade contractors miss. When chimney flashing needs repair, we fix it right the first time.
