Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Huntington Station’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve served local communities for over 42 years, and Huntington Station has been in our rotation since the beginning. The hamlet’s mix of 1950s Cape Cods, ranches, and split-levels presents a specific chimney profile - single masonry chases with dual flues, thin original crowns, and exposure to salt-laden nor’easter winds - that out-of-area crews simply don’t encounter often enough to recognize quickly.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry level-2 camera equipment on every truck. Most cap and crown jobs in Huntington Station complete in a single visit because we stock stainless multi-flue caps, Gelco crown coating, and professional-grade masonry materials from Olympia Chimney and Copperfield - no waiting on parts. The price we quote upfront is the price on the invoice. And every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not right, we come back, no arguing, no paperwork chase.

Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our New York City office, but crews serve Huntington Station locally and know the area - from the Route 110 corridor to the neighborhoods near Cold Spring Harbor.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Huntington Station

Cap Installation

New cap installation in Huntington Station starts with a critical material choice. Galvanized steel caps, the kind sold at big-box stores, rust through at the skirt within two or three seasons here because of salt-laden air off the Sound. We install stainless multi-flue caps from Famco and Olympia Chimney - 304 or 316 grade - with proper overhang and screened sides that keep out rain, animals, and wind-blown debris without blocking draft. On a typical Route 110-area Cape Cod, a stainless multi-flue cap sized for a shared fireplace and oil-burner chase runs $340-$520 installed, including proper flue measurement and storm-collar sealing.

Cap Replacement

Cap replacement in Huntington Station is rarely just swapping metal. The original cap usually failed because the crown beneath it was already cracked, or because a rusted skirt let water run down the flue tile and spall the brick beneath. We pull the old unit, camera-inspect both flues in shared chases - this is non-negotiable on Huntington Station’s dual-flue homes - and only then set the new cap on sound masonry. Replacement with full crown assessment runs $420-$680. If the crown needs rebuild before the cap can seat properly, we’ll show you the photos and explain exactly why.

Crown Repair

The original crowns on Huntington Station’s 1947-1965 housing stock were poured thin, often flat or with minimal slope, using concrete mixes that weren’t formulated for freeze-thaw cycling. North Shore nor’easters drive rain into hairline cracks; winter freezes expand them; by spring, the crown is spalling and water is tracking into the chase. Crown repair means cutting back to sound concrete, forming proper slope and drip edge, and pouring a new crown with reinforced, air-entrained concrete rated for coastal exposure. Typical crown rebuilds in Huntington Station run $580-$890. We finish with a Gelco crown coating for additional waterproofing against salt-driven moisture.

Crown Coating

Crown coating is our most-requested preventive service in Huntington Station, and for good reason. A sound but weathered crown - minor cracking, slight spalling at the edge, some porosity - can be saved with a professional-grade flexible coating before water penetrates to the flue liner. We use Gelco crown coat, a product specifically formulated for freeze-thaw and salt-air environments. Application runs $340-$480 and takes a few hours, but it extends crown life by years and prevents the $800+ rebuild that follows total failure. We recommend it every 4-5 years on coastal chimneys, sooner if you can see cracking from the ground.

Multi-Flue Cap

Huntington Station’s shared-flue chimneys - fireplace and oil burner in the same chase - need multi-flue caps, not individual flue caps stacked side by side. A proper multi-flue cap covers the entire chase top, creating a protected cavity between flues that prevents cross-contamination and sheds water away from both liners. We size and fabricate these on-site for your specific chase dimensions, using stainless from Olympia Chimney or Famco. Multi-flue caps in Huntington Station run $420-$650 installed, with larger custom sizes toward the higher end.

Custom Cap

Some Huntington Station homes - particularly larger ranches with decorative brickwork or non-standard chase dimensions - need custom-fabricated caps. We measure, sketch, and order custom stainless caps through Copperfield with typical turnaround of 7-10 business days. Custom work runs $680-$1,200 depending on size, finish, and mounting complexity. Every custom cap includes our standard 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Huntington Station

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our Huntington Station trucks stock caps, coatings, and repair materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - brands that specify their products for coastal freeze-thaw and salt-air exposure. Gelco crown coat is formulated for exactly the spalling and moisture cycling we see on North Shore chimneys. Olympia Chimney’s stainless caps carry proper mill certification for marine-grade environments. Because we keep inventory local, most Huntington Station cap and crown jobs need no parts order and no return visit.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Huntington Station Homes

• Galvanized caps rust through at the skirt. Salt-laden air off Huntington Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor accelerates corrosion at the cap’s lower edge, where condensation collects. Once the skirt perforates, nor’easter rain runs straight down the flue. We replace with stainless, always.
• Thin original crowns crack in freeze-thaw. The 1947-1965 building boom in Huntington Station produced flat, unreinforced concrete crowns that can’t handle Long Island’s winter wet-freeze cycle. Cracks widen each season until the crown separates from the brick coursing below.
• Shared flues hide cross-contamination. On a 1953 Cape Cod off the Route 110 corridor, our tech pulled a galvanized cap that had rusted through at the skirt and found the oil-burner flue liner weeping acidic condensate into the fireplace flue beside it. We set a stainless multi-flue DuraFlex cap on a rebuilt crown, coated the crown with Gelco to seal the salt-driven spalling, and camera-verified both flues before the homeowner’s new insert went in.
• Spalling brick at the crown edge lets water into the chase. Once mortar erodes from salt and freeze-thaw, water tracks behind the face brick, freezes, and pops off surface courses. Crown repair without addressing spalling is temporary at best.
