Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family is protected from carbon monoxide leaks and house fires that claim too many Long Island homes each year.
We’ve been Long Island’s trusted chimney specialist for over 20 years. As a family-owned company, we understand what Stony Brook homeowners face during harsh winters.
We know the unique challenges of Long Island’s weather – from freezing temperatures that crack masonry to heavy rains that cause water damage. Our team has seen it all and knows exactly how to keep your chimney working safely through every season.
As a fully licensed and insured company serving Suffolk County, we take care of everything from routine cleanings to complex repairs, so you never have to worry about finding different contractors for different jobs.
We start with a thorough inspection to see exactly what your chimney needs. This isn’t a sales pitch disguised as an inspection – it’s a genuine assessment of your chimney’s safety and condition.
Our cleaning process removes all the dangerous creosote buildup and debris that create fire hazards. We use professional-grade equipment and protective measures to keep your home clean during the entire process.
After cleaning, we inspect again to catch any potential problems early, before they become expensive emergencies. You get a clear report of what we found and what you can expect going forward, with no surprise charges or unnecessary upselling.

We handle everything your chimney needs to work safely and efficiently. Professional cleaning removes creosote buildup that causes chimney fires. Comprehensive inspections catch problems before they become costly emergencies.
Our repair services include chimney cap installation, flue liner replacement, and masonry work that keeps your chimney structurally sound. We also provide waterproofing and leak repairs that are especially important in Long Island’s climate.
For Stony Brook homeowners, we understand the local building codes and requirements that out-of-area contractors often miss. Our local presence means faster response times when you need service, and we’re familiar with the specific challenges that Long Island weather creates for chimneys year-round.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all homeowners, but your actual cleaning frequency depends on how much you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly during Long Island’s cold months, you’ll likely need cleaning every year.
Homes that use their fireplace only occasionally might go longer between cleanings, but the annual inspection is still crucial for safety. During the inspection, we can tell you exactly when your chimney will need its next cleaning based on current conditions.
The key is never waiting until you see obvious problems. Creosote buildup and other issues develop gradually, and catching them early prevents the expensive repairs and safety hazards that come from neglect.
Basic chimney cleaning and inspection in the Stony Brook area typically ranges from $200-400, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. The exact cost depends on factors like how much creosote buildup we find and whether any additional services are needed.
More complex issues like liner replacement or structural repairs cost more, but you’ll receive a clear estimate before any work begins. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise charges or hidden fees.
The cost of regular maintenance is minimal compared to emergency repairs or dealing with fire damage. Most homeowners find that annual service prevents the expensive problems that come from neglecting chimney care, making it one of the best investments you can make in your home’s safety.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment and knowledge to do safely and effectively. Professional cleaners have the right brushes, vacuums, and protective equipment to remove creosote buildup without damaging your chimney or making a mess in your home.
We also know how to identify potential safety issues that untrained homeowners might miss. Things like cracks in the flue liner, damaged mortar joints, or structural problems that could allow dangerous gases to enter your home.
The safety risks and potential for costly mistakes make professional cleaning worth the investment for most homeowners. Plus, working on roofs and inside chimneys can be dangerous without proper training and equipment.
White staining on the outside of your chimney indicates water damage that needs immediate repair. Rust on your damper or firebox shows moisture problems that can lead to structural damage and safety issues.
If you notice animals or birds in your chimney, or if you see daylight through the top when looking up from your fireplace, you have blockages or structural problems that need professional attention right away.
Strong odors coming from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, often indicate creosote buildup or other problems. Never ignore these warning signs – they usually get worse quickly and become much more expensive to fix if you wait.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency chimney services throughout Stony Brook and Suffolk County. Chimney emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and we understand that safety issues need immediate attention.
Common emergencies include water leaks during storms, animals trapped in chimneys, or suspected chimney fires. Our emergency response team has the equipment and experience to handle urgent situations safely and effectively.
Because we’re locally based in Long Island, we can typically respond faster than companies coming from other areas. When you have a chimney emergency, every minute matters for protecting your home and family.
Rust, cracks, or missing pieces on your chimney cap are clear signs it needs replacement. A damaged cap allows water, animals, and debris to enter your chimney, creating safety hazards and expensive damage over time.
If you’re finding animals in your fireplace or notice water leaks during rain, your chimney cap might be damaged or missing entirely. These problems only get worse with time and can lead to much more costly repairs if ignored.
During our inspections, we always check the condition of your chimney cap and crown. We’ll let you know if replacement is needed and explain exactly why it’s important for your chimney’s safety and performance.
