A simple, inexpensive fix that prevents some of the most common chimney problems.
A missing or damaged chimney cap is one of the easiest ways for rain, snow, birds, and small animals to get into your flue, and one of the cheapest problems to prevent. We custom-fit caps to your flue size, whether it’s a single flue or a multi-flue chimney with more than one appliance venting through it.
Caps also double as spark arrestors, keeping embers contained on wood-burning systems. We offer stainless steel, copper, and galvanized options depending on your budget and how long you want it to last.
We measure the flue (or flues) to size the cap correctly.
Stainless steel, copper, or galvanized, based on budget and expected lifespan.
The cap is fitted and secured, checked for a snug fit that still allows proper airflow.
We confirm the cap isn’t restricting draft before calling the job done.
Cap pricing depends on flue size, material, and whether it’s a single or multi-flue chimney needing more than one cap. Copper costs more upfront but tends to outlast galvanized options by a wide margin.
All caps are basically the same.
FactMesh size, material, and design all affect airflow and how well a cap keeps out debris — a poorly designed cap can actually cause drafting problems.
A cap is just for keeping rain out.
FactCaps also act as spark arrestors and keep out animals looking for a warm, sheltered nesting spot.
Yes — a cap that’s the wrong size or design can restrict airflow and cause downdraft issues. If you’re getting smoke back into the room, it’s worth checking.
Stainless steel and copper caps typically outlast galvanized ones, often by a decade or more, though all types eventually need replacement.
Yes — each flue on a multi-flue chimney should have its own properly sized cap.
