Should You Install a Chimney Cap?
If your home doesn’t currently have a chimney cap but does have a working fireplace and unblocked chimney, you might consider investing in one. Chimney caps keep water, pests, and fallen debris out of your home while keeping the heat from your fireplace in. They’re a practical solution that improves your comfort and energy efficiency while minimizing known safety risks.
Chimney Caps Can:
- Keep water, debris, and air drafts out of your home
- Keep heated and cooled air from your HVAC system inside your home where it belongs
- Contain embers and sparks from your fireplace, protecting your roof from fire damage
- Make it harder for pests to infiltrate your living spaces
- And more!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Chimney Cap Services
How Much Do Chimney Caps Cost?
Every chimney is different, so the caps we fabricate for every customer are always custom-made. This means that our prices vary. However, we do offer free estimates so that you can see what your fabrication and installation costs will be. Whatever a chimney cap ends up costing you, we offer financing options to make things easier.
How Long Will it Take to Replace My Chimney Cap? I Don’t Want My Chimney to Stay Exposed!
Our process is simple and effective. We will remove your old chimney cap and/or chase, tarp up your chimney to secure it from the elements, and start fabricating your replacement assembly in our metal shop right away. Each chimney cap and chase take roughly 6-8 hours to fabricate and our caps are built in order as they come in. We’ll make sure to schedule installation ASAP after your new chimney cap is complete!
What Materials are Your Chimney Caps Made Of?
We offer galvanized, stainless steel, and copper chimney caps. Some copper and colored aluminum sheets are special order items that may add time to the fabrication process, and metal prices will vary.
My Chimney is Made of Brick – Can I get Just the Cap Without the Chase?
Absolutely! If you need just a chimney cap by itself, or even just a chimney chase, we can make it! Brick chimneys are notorious for settling so it's imperative that we get all measurements from each side.
Do You Offer Chimney Sweeping or Repair Services?
Not at this time. We offer chimney cap and chase fabrication as well as installation services. If your chimney flue, damper, or any other part of your chimney is not functioning properly, we strongly recommend contacting a local company that specializes in those services.
Do I Need to Provide a Down Payment for My New Chimney Cap?
No. When we are finished installing your chimney cap and chase, payment will be due. We accept cash, checks, and credit/debit cards.
