For years, our locally owned company has helped homeowners throughout Smithtown and Suffolk County maintain their chimneys with care, accuracy, and integrity. Here are the top reasons families across Long Island continue to choose Dunrite for their chimney inspections.
1. We Understand Smithtown’s Unique Homes and Climate
Smithtown’s environment creates very specific challenges for chimney systems. Between ocean air, high humidity, and cold winters, your chimney endures a lot each year.

We understand how salty air and humidity can deteriorate masonry and mortar joints
We account for temperature shifts that cause expansion and contraction in brickwork

Our local knowledge helps us recognize small issues early so that your chimney stays reliable and long-lasting.
