Quick Facts

Do You Need a Cap?

Here is the deal. When a chimney is built new it may not need a cap. But over the years things change. Branches grow over the roof line and block the draft. Rain falls straight down the flue. Birds move in and nest.

A cap fixes all three problems. It has three parts and each part has a job.

The Three Parts of a Cap

Know the parts and you know what you are paying for.

The Hood

It stops downdraft. It also stops direct rain from going down the flue and hitting the bottom of your fireplace.

The Screen

It stops birds and critters from getting in and nesting in your chimney.

The Flange

It sits right on top of the clay liner that pokes through the roof. Screws in each corner hold it tight and you are good to go.

Materials

Pick the material that fits your budget and your home.

Galvanized Steel

The standard option. It comes with a black powder coat. It does the job at a fair price.

Stainless Steel

The premium option. It lasts longer and resists rust better than galvanized steel.

Copper

The upgrade. It looks great and it lasts. It suits homes where looks matter.

Aluminum

Light and rust resistant. A good option where weight matters.

Sizes and Custom Caps

Most homes have standard sizes. One for a fireplace flue. One for a furnace or boiler flue. These two flues often run side by side up the same chimney.

But sometimes the flues sit too close together. Then the hoods bump into each other and standard caps do not fit. That is when you need a custom cap.

A multi flue cap bolts into the concrete crown. Undo four bolts and you can lift the hood to clean the flue. The screen and the base stay put.

What About a Flue You No Longer Use?

Cap that one too. It stops heat loss from your home. It stops birds and insects. It stops leaks.

But do not seal it shut completely. A flue needs a little airflow. Otherwise moisture builds up inside. A proper cap gives you protection plus a little ventilation. Never just balance a slab on top and call it done.

How Installation Works

Cost is priced after inspection. Cap size, material and custom work decide the final quote.

1

You Call

Tell us about your chimney and your flue. Tell us if rain, animals or downdraft bother you.

2

We Measure

We measure the flue and the crown. We check how many flues you have and how close they sit.

3

We Fit and Screw Down

We set the cap on the liner and screw it down, one screw in each corner. We check the fit.

4

We Check the Draft

We make sure smoke still draws right with the cap in place. Then we clean up.

Signs You Need a Cap

No cap at all is the clearest sign. Every open flue collects rain and animals sooner or later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Do I need a cap if my chimney is new?

A new chimney may not need one at first. But branches grow and weather wears things down. A cap is cheap protection against rain, animals and downdraft.

Steel or copper?

Steel does the job at a fair price. Stainless lasts longer. Copper looks best and lasts longest. We help you pick by budget and by home.

What if two flues sit close together?

Standard caps may bump into each other. Then we fit a custom cap or a multi flue cap. It covers both flues and still lifts for cleaning.

Do you cap flues that are no longer used?

Yes. Capping stops heat loss, birds and leaks. We leave a little airflow so moisture does not build up inside.
