Our Approach to Chimney Cap Replacement
Single flue or several, our pros fit the cap your chimney needs and nothing it does not.
Galvanized, stainless or copper, chosen for the job
Cap metal is a choice you live with for years. Galvanized steel is the plainest option, and its zinc coating wears first where water sits. Stainless steel resists rust far better, and stainless selection guidance from the International Molybdenum Association treats Type 316, the grade with added molybdenum, as the one that holds up where chlorides reach the metal. Copper gives a warm look that darkens with age.
Our pros lay the options side by side with a written price for each, and they mention one rule that matters with mixed metals. Zinc is used up faster when galvanized parts touch copper or stainless in a wet joint, so fasteners and flashing are matched to the cap. You choose the metal, and we make sure everything holding it agrees with it.
When the flue tile sits too low for a cap
Some chimneys were finished with the flue tile flush with the crown or buried in it. A clamp-style cap then has nothing to grip, and water sitting at the joint wears the crown around the tile. Brick Industry Association guidance for masonry chimneys has the liner standing at least 2 inches above the crown.
The fix depends on what is there. A crown-mounted cap can cover a low tile, and a crown rebuild can reset the tile height when the crown is failing anyway. Our pros explain which path fits your chimney in Keystone, with an upfront price for each one.
When an old cap can go back on
A cap that has come loose but is otherwise sound can sometimes be refastened with new hardware. The lid has to be solid, the frame straight, the screen intact and the mounting surface sound. A cap that fails any one of those checks is a false saving.
Our pros go through those points before suggesting a refit, and they recommend reusing a cap only when it will hold. If the old cap cannot be saved, the replacement is quoted in writing with each metal option.
Tile, shingle and metal roofs around the chimney
Getting to a chimney top means crossing the roof, and roofs differ. Clay and concrete tile can crack under a careless step, metal panels can dent and shingles can scuff in the heat. Our team plans roof access around the roofing you have.
If your roof needs special care, tell us when you book, and the visit is planned with the right access and protection. The goal is a new cap and a roof left the way it was found.
