A well-fitted cap with mesh screening that keeps out rain, animals, leaves and sparks while letting smoke escape freely.
A chimney without a cap is an open hole in your roof. Rain pours straight down the flue, leaves and twigs fall in, and birds, squirrels and raccoons treat it as a front door. The water rusts the damper and damages the firebox, the debris blocks the draft, and the animals can bring their own trouble.
A cap fixes all of that for a small cost. We measure your flue, choose a cap in the right size and metal, and install it so it fits snugly and stays put in a storm. Mesh around the sides keeps animals out and stops sparks from landing on the roof, while the lid above sheds the rain.
Caps come in many sizes. A cap that is too small chokes the draft, and one that is too loose can blow off. We measure and fit it correctly.
Stainless steel is a popular, durable choice. Copper looks beautiful and lasts a long time. We show you options that suit your home and budget.
Mesh with the right opening size keeps out animals but does not clog easily with soot. It also helps stop embers from escaping.
Chimneys with several flues or a full-width crown can use a multi-flue cap or a custom shroud to cover everything neatly.
