Chimney Cap Replacement From Local Specialists
Once your free inspection is done, you have 72 hours to approve the cap at 10% off. Here is how our specialists get the fit right.
Caps on flues that serve gas appliances
A flue that vents a gas appliance needs a cap chosen with that appliance in mind. Brick Industry Association guidance says information on a manufactured rain cap's effect on flow through the chimney should come from the cap's manufacturer, and a factory-built vent follows the termination its own instructions list.
Our specialists identify what each flue serves before a cap is chosen, and they will not fit fine spark mesh over an outlet whose appliance instructions call for a different termination. If you are unsure what is connected to the flue, that is fine, because working it out is part of the free inspection.
What happens on cap installation day
Cap day is short and careful. Our pros set up safe roof access, remove the failed cap, clean the tile top and crown where the new cap will sit and fit the new cap with the fasteners its maker specifies. Every bolt, clamp or anchor is checked by hand before anyone comes down.
Before leaving, the team shows you what was done and hands over the product information for your records. If something unexpected turned up, such as a cracked tile under the old cap, you hear about it on the spot, and no extra work starts without your approval.
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.
Mesh that keeps animals out on every side
The same mesh that stops embers also keeps birds and squirrels out, as long as it wraps every side and sits tight to the lid and frame. Gaps at the corners, bent mesh or a screen lifted off the crown are how animals get past a cap.
Our pros check every edge of the screen when they fit a cap and again on later visits. The Florida code's opening limits keep the mesh open enough for the flue to breathe, so the screen does its job without choking the fire.
