Why Chimney Caps Are Essential

A chimney cap sits at the top of your chimney flue and serves as a protective barrier against rain, snow, animals, and debris.

Without a properly installed cap, your chimney is vulnerable to:

• Water damage
• Rusted internal components
• Animal nesting
• Downdrafts
• Accelerated masonry deterioration

Cap installation is one of the most cost-effective preventative chimney services available.

We install a variety of cap systems based on chimney design and homeowner preference:

• Stainless Steel Caps – Durable and rust-resistant
• Copper Caps – Long-lasting with premium appearance
• Single-Flue Caps – For standard chimney systems

Each cap is professionally measured and securely fitted to ensure long-term performance.

Our Installation Process

Our chimney cap installation process includes:

• Chimney evaluation and precise measurements
• Selection of the appropriate cap type
