Hear from Our Customers
You get a chimney that draws properly and heats efficiently. Your insurance stays valid because everything meets code. No more wondering if that smell means trouble or if smoke will fill your living room.
Your heating bills drop when your chimney works the way it should. Water stays out, which means no expensive damage to your roof, walls, or foundation. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family is safe from carbon monoxide and chimney fires.
Long Island’s salt air and harsh winters are tough on chimneys, but proper maintenance keeps yours working for decades. You avoid those emergency repair calls that always seem to happen on the coldest day of the year.
We’ve served Huntington homeowners for over 20 years. We’re a family-owned company that understands how Long Island’s coastal climate affects your chimney.
We’ve seen what happens when salt air meets mortar joints. We know how Nor’easters can turn small cracks into big problems. That’s why we focus on catching issues early, before they become expensive emergencies.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and follow National Fire Protection Association standards. We give you written estimates, explain what needs attention, and never pressure you into work you don’t need.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. That includes the flue, damper, crown, cap, and all masonry. You get a detailed report explaining what’s working and what needs attention.
If cleaning is needed, we protect your home with drop cloths and use professional equipment to remove all creosote and debris. No mess, no shortcuts.
For repairs, you receive a written estimate before any work begins. We explain exactly what we found and why it matters. All work meets Long Island building codes and uses materials designed for our coastal climate. Before we leave, we test everything and walk you through any maintenance recommendations.

We handle everything your chimney needs: inspections, cleaning, repairs, and installations. Chimney caps, crowns, liners, flashing, masonry work, and waterproofing.
Huntington’s location between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean means your chimney faces unique challenges. Salt air corrodes metal components faster. Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar joints. Heavy rains test every seal.
Our services are designed specifically for these conditions. We use materials that resist corrosion and handle temperature changes. Our masonry work accounts for coastal moisture. Every repair considers how Long Island weather will affect it over time.
We offer emergency services during heating season because chimney problems don’t wait for convenient times.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections for all heating appliances, and Huntington’s coastal climate makes this even more important. Salt air and moisture accelerate wear on chimney components.
If you use your fireplace regularly, you should have it cleaned annually too. Even if you rarely light fires, annual inspections catch structural issues, animal intrusions, and weather damage before they become serious problems.
Schedule your inspection in spring or summer when weather conditions make repairs easier and contractors aren’t rushed by heating season demands.
Call us immediately if you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or strong odors coming from your fireplace. These signal water intrusion or structural problems.
Other urgent signs include crumbling mortar, loose bricks, or smoke entering your home instead of going up the chimney. In Huntington’s coastal environment, these issues can worsen quickly due to salt air and moisture.
Don’t wait if you see efflorescence (white chalky deposits) on exterior bricks or hear animals in your chimney. Both require professional attention to prevent expensive damage.
Huntington sits between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, exposing chimneys to high humidity, salt air, and frequent storm surges. This coastal environment accelerates normal wear patterns.
Salt air corrodes metal components like dampers and flashing faster than inland areas. Moisture from Nor’easters penetrates weakened mortar joints, causing brick spalling and structural damage. Freeze-thaw cycles are more severe near water.
Regular maintenance using materials designed for coastal conditions prevents these problems from becoming major repairs. We use corrosion-resistant metals and masonry sealers that handle salt exposure.
Basic chimney cleaning runs $200-400. Minor repairs like repointing mortar joints cost $350-1,200. Crown repairs average $450-1,100, while complete crown rebuilds range from $900-2,200.
More extensive work like brick replacement starts around $900 and can reach $4,000 depending on damage extent. Chimney liner installation typically costs $1,500-4,000 based on materials and chimney height.
Early detection through annual inspections prevents minor issues from becoming major expenses. A $300 inspection can save thousands in emergency repairs during heating season.
Chimney cleaning removes creosote, debris, and blockages from the flue. It’s maintenance that keeps your chimney functioning safely and efficiently. Most wood-burning fireplaces need annual cleaning.
Inspection evaluates the entire chimney system’s condition – structure, components, and safety. We check for cracks, deterioration, proper ventilation, and code compliance. Inspections identify problems before they cause damage.
You need both services. Cleaning maintains performance, while inspection prevents problems. We often do both during the same visit, which saves time and ensures nothing gets overlooked.
DIY chimney cleaning is risky and rarely thorough enough. Professional equipment removes creosote that brushes can’t reach. More importantly, we inspect while we clean, catching problems you might miss.
Creosote in coastal environments like Huntington can harden into glaze that resists removal. Improper cleaning techniques can damage flue liners or miss dangerous buildup. Insurance may not cover damage from DIY maintenance.
Professional cleaning costs $200-400 but includes inspection, proper equipment, and expertise. That’s a small price for safety and peace of mind, especially compared to fire damage or carbon monoxide exposure.
