What Goes Into a Chimney Cap That Lasts
Single flue or several, our pros fit the cap your chimney needs and nothing it does not.
Decorative shrouds and custom chimney tops
A shaped copper or painted shroud can change the look of a whole roofline, and some homeowners want one for that reason alone. On a masonry chimney, the shroud still has to leave the open area and screen the code asks for. On a factory-built chimney, section R1005.2 allows a decorative shroud only when it is listed and labeled for that specific chimney system.
Our pros walk through what your chimney allows before you settle on a design. If the system rules out a custom shroud, we show you the listed options that do fit and what each one looks like, with an upfront price for each.
A cap and a working damper do different jobs
The damper inside the fireplace closes the flue when the fire is out, while the cap sits outside at the top. A cap reduces the rain that reaches the damper, but it does not seal the flue against air moving in or out. A top-sealing damper that closes at the flue top is a separate job with its own fitting rules, and its maker limits which fireplaces it suits.
Our pros look at both during a cap visit. If the damper is rusted or sticks from past water, you hear about it, and if a top-sealing damper would suit your fireplace better than a plain cap, we explain the difference and price each option.
Closing the top once the animals are out
Once birds or animals have left or been removed, the goal is to keep the next one out. A screened cap with mesh on every side does that job, fastened so the mesh cannot be pushed aside or pried up at a corner. Droppings and nesting material left in the flue are cleared before the cap closes the top.
Our pros agree the order of work with you. If a wildlife professional is handling the removal, the cap is scheduled for right after, so the flue is not left open for a new tenant.
What the written cap estimate shows
Your estimate lists the cap style, the metal, the size, any screen or hood options and the work to remove the old cap. If the crown, the tile or the damper needs attention, those items appear on separate lines so you can decide on each one.
Prices are written down before anything is ordered, nothing is added later, and the work sits under our 100% satisfaction guarantee. The old cap and any debris leave with us.
On any service we offer
Stainless or copper, the cap is 10% off booked within 72 hours of the visit.
