About Our Chimney Rebuilding Service

Sometimes a chimney is beyond the point where repairs make economic or structural sense. When deterioration is extensive, a full or partial chimney rebuild is the safest, most cost-effective long-term solution.

Capstone Chimney's master masons have rebuilt hundreds of chimneys across Long Island, from historic Colonial homes in Oyster Bay to modern builds in the Hamptons. We approach every rebuild as both a structural project and an aesthetic one—your chimney should be as beautiful as it is functional.

A partial rebuild from the roofline up is the most common scenario. The exposed portion of your chimney bears the full brunt of Long Island weather: driving rain, ice, wind, and salt air. After decades of this exposure, the masonry above the roofline may be severely deteriorated while the protected section below remains sound.

For our Long Island chimney rebuilds, we use Type S mortar rated for severe weather exposure, premium face brick matched to your home's existing masonry, stainless steel flashing with proper counterflashing, a reinforced concrete crown with drip edges, and a fitted chimney cap to prevent water entry and animal intrusion.

A full ground-up rebuild is necessary when the chimney foundation has failed, when the entire structure has shifted or separated from the house, or when the interior structure is too compromised to support new construction above. While more involved, a full rebuild gives you essentially a brand-new chimney built to modern codes.

Every Capstone Chimney rebuild comes with a workmanship warranty and our commitment to your complete satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our chimney rebuilding service

A chimney typically needs rebuilding when damage is too extensive for cost-effective repair. Signs include significant leaning or tilting, widespread spalling (face of bricks flaking off), mortar deterioration deeper than 1 inch across many joints, structural cracks running through multiple courses, or separation from the house. We always try repair first if it's a viable option.
A partial rebuild, also called a rebuild from the roofline up, involves demolishing and reconstructing only the portion of the chimney above the roofline. This is the most common type of rebuild because the exposed section deteriorates fastest. The section below the roofline is usually protected and in better condition.
A partial rebuild (roofline up) typically takes 2-4 days depending on chimney size and weather conditions. A full ground-up rebuild may take 1-2 weeks. We work efficiently while never rushing quality craftsmanship.
We go to great lengths to match your home's existing brick color, size, and mortar joint style. We source from multiple suppliers and can custom-order specialty brick when needed. The goal is a seamless match that looks like it's always been there.
