Our Approach to Chimney Cap Replacement
Single flue or several, our pros fit the cap your chimney needs and nothing it does not.
Rust streaks running down from the cap
Orange streaks on the brick or stucco below the chimney top often trace back to metal corroding above them. A galvanized cap whose coating has worn through, rusted screws or an old steel lid can all leave that stain. Left alone, a rusted screen opens gaps big enough for birds and squirrels.
Our pros trace the stain to its source before blaming the cap, because a rusting damper or old metal flashing can leave similar marks. If the cap is the culprit, the replacement is quoted in stainless or copper, and the stain on the chimney face is noted so you know what cleaning or repair it needs.
Taking off the old cap without harming the tile
Removing a failed cap is half the job. Rusted bolts may need cutting, adhesive has to be released from the crown, and a slip-in cap can be wedged against a tile that has already cracked. Forcing it free can snap the tile top, which turns a cap job into a flue repair.
Our team works the old cap loose with the tile in mind, clears the old fasteners and adhesive and checks the tile edge before the new cap goes on. If the tile was already broken, you see it and get options before anything else happens.
Brick chimney or metal chimney, and why it matters
From the yard, a stucco-covered masonry chimney and a framed chase around a metal pipe can look much the same. Inside, one has clay tiles set in masonry and the other has a listed steel pipe that the Florida residential code, in section R1005, says is terminated as its manufacturer directs. Caps for the two are not interchangeable.
Our pros confirm which one you have from the roof and, where it helps, from the fireplace opening. That single check decides the cap family, the fastening method and whether the chimney's manufacturer lists a specific top.
Stock caps and made-to-measure caps
Caps for single flues come in stock sizes that fit common tile dimensions, and adjustable models use sliding brackets to cover a range. Odd tile sizes, several flues or a crown-mounted design can call for a cap made to measure. A stock cap can often go on during the same visit, while a custom cap needs a second trip once it is made.
Our pros tell you which kind your chimney needs after measuring, with the price and the timing for each. A custom cap is quoted only when your flue needs one.
