Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. of New York City Is Jericho’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
We’ve worked on Jericho chimneys for over 42 years. That means we’ve watched this community’s heating systems change - from oil tanks in basements to gas lines in the street - and we’ve seen what that conversion does to original masonry flues that were never designed for it.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. In Jericho, where so many homes have two-flue chimneys from the 1950s and 1960s, that documentation matters. You see what we see.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the professional-grade materials to finish most jobs in one visit. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. And everything we do is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing.
Calls are answered by a live person, every hour of every day. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Jericho
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
Jericho’s gas-converted heating systems need liners sized precisely to the appliance, not the oversized masonry cavity built for oil. We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners that match your boiler or furnace’s output, restoring proper draft and stopping the condensation that ruins mortar from the inside out. A correctly sized stainless liner in Jericho typically costs $2,800-$4,200 installed.
Flexible Liner Systems
Some of Jericho’s older chimneys have offsets or tight clearances that rigid pipe won’t navigate. Flexible liners from trusted manufacturers thread through existing masonry without dismantling walls. We see this often in the split-levels near the Jericho School District, where chimney runs are tight and access is limited. Flexible liner installations in Jericho generally run $2,400-$3,800.
Liner Replacement
If your existing clay tile liner is cracked, spalled, or coated with glazed creosote, replacement is the only safe option. In Jericho, we regularly find clay liners that have survived 60+ years of oil combustion but failed within a decade of gas conversion - the acidic condensation from gas appliances attacks mortar joints that oil soot once protected. Liner replacement with a new stainless system runs $3,200-$5,000 in this market.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
When the top courses of brick, the crown, or the upper flue are beyond repair but the lower structure is sound, we rebuild from the roofline up. Jericho’s coastal exposure - salt-laden winds from Long Island Sound, repeated freeze-thaw cycles - hits chimney crowns and upper brick hardest. North-facing chimneys on Hickory Lane and surrounding streets show this pattern consistently. Partial rebuilds in Jericho typically cost $3,500-$6,500.
Full Chimney Rebuild
Some of Jericho’s original 1950s and 1960s chimneys have reached the end of their service life. Spalling brick, deteriorated mortar throughout, and compromised structural integrity mean starting fresh. We dismantle and rebuild with matching brick, proper flashing, and a correctly sized liner system. Full rebuilds in Jericho run $6,000-$12,000 depending on height, access, and liner specifications.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Jericho Homes
- Oversized masonry flues left unlined after gas conversion. The near-universal switch from oil to gas in Nassau County left thousands of Jericho chimneys with flues built for 150,000 BTU oil boilers now venting 80,000 BTU gas equipment. The resulting chronic condensation deteriorates liner and mortar joints from the inside - damage the homeowner never sees until a cleaning reveals it.
- Freeze-thaw cycles combined with salt-laden coastal air. Jericho sits 10-12 miles from Long Island Sound. Prevailing winds carry measurable salt that degrades mortar joints and chimney crowns. Combined with dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter, north-facing chimneys experience accelerated spalling that inland neighbors simply don’t see at the same rate.
- Two-flue homes with one flue neglected after conversion. Jericho’s split-levels and raised ranches often have dual flues - one for heat, one for the fireplace. When the oil boiler flue is “retired,” it stops getting attention. Hidden liner cracks, moisture damage, and efflorescence accumulate for years while the owner assumes the chimney is no longer their concern.
- Assumed-safe “retired” flues silently deteriorating. We recently relined a retired oil flue on a 1960s split-level on Hickory Lane in Jericho. The homeowner had switched to gas years ago and never thought about the old chimney until our cleaning crew spotted advanced spalling. We installed a DuraFlex stainless steel liner correctly sized for the new gas boiler, restoring safe draft and preventing further moisture damage.

FAQs - Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Jericho
Your masonry flue was built to handle the higher temperature and larger volume of exhaust from an oil-fired boiler, typically 150,000 BTU or more. The gas boiler that replaced it probably produces 60,000-100,000 BTU. The flue is now too large for the appliance, so exhaust moves slowly, cools before it exits, and condenses into acidic moisture that attacks mortar and liner. This mismatch is nearly universal in Jericho’s post-war housing stock. Call (855) 950-3861 and we’ll measure your flue against your appliance specs - estimates are free.
Yes. An unlined, unused masonry flue still collects moisture from temperature differentials and ambient humidity. In Jericho, salt-laden coastal air accelerates the deterioration. We’ve found “retired” flues with advanced spalling, efflorescence, and liner cracks that the homeowner never suspected. The chimney structure itself remains part of your home; if it fails, it can damage walls, roofs, and framing. A properly sized stainless steel liner protects the masonry even in an unused flue. Call (855) 950-3861 for an inspection - we’ll show you photos of what we’re seeing.
Spalling brick faces on the upper courses, crumbling mortar joints you can pick out with a key, a cracked or missing chimney crown, or water staining on interior walls near the chimney breast. In Jericho, these symptoms appear first on north-facing chimneys and those most exposed to prevailing winds off Long Island Sound. Freeze-thaw cycles open small cracks into large ones over a single winter. If you see these signs, the damage is already advancing. Call (855) 950-3861 - partial rebuilds cost less than waiting for full structural failure.
Yes. We routinely inspect and service dual-flue systems in Jericho’s split-levels and raised ranches. One flue typically served the oil boiler; the other, a wood-burning fireplace. After gas conversion, the heating flue often gets neglected while the fireplace flue receives occasional attention. Both need inspection. Both may need lining. We document each flue separately with camera photos and a plain-English verdict for each. Most two-flue jobs in Jericho complete in one visit. Call (855) 950-3861 to schedule.
Most stainless steel liner installations in Jericho are completed in four to six hours. We arrive with the correctly sized DuraFlex liner, insulation, and termination hardware on the truck. If the chimney requires minor crown repair or top-sealing, we handle it the same day. Only jobs requiring extensive masonry rebuild or difficult scaffold access extend to a second day. You’ll know the timeline before we start - no surprises. Call (855) 950-3861 for a free estimate and scheduling.
